I was unreasonably amused by this recent story about hCaptcha, which uses AI to generate the images of things you're supposed to choose (traffic lights, buses): > Discord's captcha asked users to identify a 'Yoko,' a snail-like object that does not exist and was created by AI. https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgwy5n/captcha-is-asking-users-to-identify-objects-that-dont-exist https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgwy5n/captcha-is-asking-use... It made me wonder how long it'll be before these kinds of AI decisions seep into "real life". For example, imagine software that identifies popular items on Amazon and then arranges to have knockoffs fabricated, and then a truck full of yokos shows up somewhere.
