Calling it right now: AI will be away for underage kids to beat facial age verification if they pass it into law, and a way to make nude pictures of celebrities that don't have any known nudes.
Grok already does this, at least the nude celebrity part. also i assume most age verification just uses a drivers license or ID because of that obvious loophole
AI in general even if it doesn't get smarter than it is today will destroy huge parts of the economy. Its ability to produce special effects or images destroys the CGI industry, especially if you ever use AI tools that are designed for art instead of just relying on Grok.
Ben Affleck might literally become a billionaire this year because he invented an insane amount on AI tools to help with editing and script supervision.
Basically there are tons of jobs out there where there hasn't been a better way of doing things beyond brute force, and AI ends up being extremely good at doing the jobs any teenager would be able to knock out, such as noticing if someone's coat isn't buttoned up like it was in the previous scene.
there's a reason people can't tell the difference between AI and Indians and that's because most of the use cases for AI are already done away from Western eyes. like AI even at its worst will still be a trillion dollar industry because of how much shit it does. what used to cost $10 million, can be knocked out for $100 worth of credits.
Beyond that is how people treat AI, because AI isn't a human you don't have to worry about identity politics with it, or getting into lawsuits because of it. Look at Tesla where some h1-b sued because a guy from a staffing agency working at Tesla made a racist comment. neither were technically Tesla employees but because of where it happened Musk got all the blame and it cost Tesla millions.
AI takes that element out of it.
From a business standpoint AI is fucking amazing, even if it never progresses past the intelligence of a 7 year old Chinese girl or 18 year old black man.
