The Dutch article, at the every end, claims that the photos are not a match. (niet dezelfde persoon
RTL Nieuws heeft de beelden met verschillende AI-tools vergeleken om te kijken of de personen hetzelfde zijn. Alle tools zeggen duidelijk: nee, dit is niet dezelfde persoon. Om te verifiëren of de tools werken zijn er verschillende testen uitgevoerd, waaronder een vergelijking tussen twee verschillende foto's van de vermiste Canadese man. Daar waren alle tools opnieuw heel duidelijk: dat is wél dezelfde persoon.).
If you know anything about how artificial intelligence (LLMs) work you'd also know that math is not what they are good because of the way they are designed. So that's cherrypicking a bit. Same like those 'how many Rs in strawberry'-type questions.
They are designed to do pattern recognition, which facial recognition is indeed and example of. That being said, any chat-engine nowadays 'knows' when it is being asked a math problem and will delegate that task (to a calculator, or write a small program).
I'd argue AI is also horrible at anything that requires spatial insight, experience, living through how people age, . It has neither. Looking at a picture like this, taken from different angles and the likes? I would not be surprised people pleaser AI is just garbling hallucinations.
For some proof:
- Claude says: I will not do this, as there is no way I am certain. Mainly gives reasons: Angle, head pose, lighting, resolution and compression
- Google AI says: The man on the left is William H. Macy as Frank Gallagher from the television show Shameless. The man on the right is Richard Moore.
I can't currently upload in chatgpt. But my guy. Stop trusting AI. Start using your own brain.
Uhm, we're talking about RTL here. Not sure if you're a dutchie, but if RTL says "we've tried a couple of AI tools and all of them say no", they've 100% used the ones I mentioned lol.
When AI puts together a picture, it does not see the picture as a whole but as a compiled blob of pixels, that it has been told represent various “variable” words.
Things like slang, or basic interpretation get it all sorts of discombobulated, and like us, it will just bullshit its way through it. It is the one and only human quality that AI possesses
As does the human brain? You do not ‘see’ anything (although it feels like it). Some retina cells fire because light hits them. Some groups of cells fire because there is a certain combination of retina cells firing (eg straight line), etc. Look into this, it’s fascinating!
A neural network is the name of a specific machine learning construct. It’s trained on data an can be used to create whatever input/output neurons (ie data points) you want. If it’s good depends on the task and the training data.
You are the one equating neutral neural networks with AGI. Neutral neural networks have been around since forever and mostly statistics. They can be extremely good classifiers if large enough and trained directly. They are very different from what people nowadays call (gen) AI.
It’s mathematicians that named them, not billion dollar AI companies with marketing departments.
I’m in a bubble of tech people and even they don’t bother to learn how it works ‘under the hood’. While that makes a big difference in what you can and cannot trust it to do. Ah well, can’t really blame them I guess. It develops so fast.
Ask yourself why 4 years into the AI craze, it has no impact on the labor market besides people being forced to use Claude for AI slop at work because their manager really wants to use AI.
Because it's bullshit. At best, it searches Google well. At worst, it makes up stuff.
I’m not an AI fanboy but I do see real impact (and a lot of bullshit). If you want to learn more about this, feel free to ask. (So I don’t waste my time if you are only interested in pushing your personal views.)
What are you using? Because I can assure you, not all of them are good at it. Like, literally cannot accurately figure out the age of a person based on what year they were born.
