Given the seemingly random nature of the compression "artefacts", versus the more predictable compression artefacts with other algos, I wonder if this would limit use of such images in scenarios where the resulting images had to be relied on in court as evidence of something?
- crazygringo 6y agoAbsolutely. Exactly for this reason, I would hope not to see this ever become the default format for cell phone cameras unless there were somehow explicit guarantees around what is or is not faithful. Same with security cameras, etc. But, anywhere where the purpose of output is social/entertainment, it seems this would be freely adopted. Profile pictures, marketing images, videos and movies. If could very much mean, however, that a photo on someone's Facebook profile might not be admissable as evidence, if used to identify an exact match with someone, rather than just "someone who looks similar".

- phs318u 6y agoWow! The implications are huge. At least the Xerox bug had the benefit of being reproducible. An AI algo might _occasionally_ spit out an incorrect digit, and other times not. Really, this highlights the need for explicability in AI/ML.
