Statistics is not "luck", it's possibilities.
So, it might can't be "relied upon" _totally_, but, as it is automated, it can be relied upon _MORE_ than mere guessing at the fuzzy picture.
- ynniv 14y agoNO. OMG NO. This (artistic) class of algorithm makes things look pretty, but does not add information and ABSOLUTELY does not add evidence. Any serious mention of generative algorithms in the context of evidence is at best negligent. Humans are easily fooled. They will look at a fuzzy picture and see possibilities, but they will look at the output of this algorithm and see fact. There are other algorithms that predict the possibility of objects (usually letters) producing an image that are more suited for investigative work.
