Jeremy writing about Clearleft's current conclusion around so-called "AI":

There’s no way that we’d use this technology to generate outputs for clients, but we certainly might use it to generate inputs.

I think this sums up the way I've been feeling about it so far (though struggling to phrase it as succinctly).

Like most, I've played with ChatGPT, Midjourney and similar things, purely out of curiosity, and I've paid attention to the example outputs I'm seeing from others. For me, the output continues to fall into that camp of "pretty good for a piece of technology but definitely has a distinct 'smell' about it".

The smart folks at Google are now using a technology called RAISR to shave up to 75% off the file size of the images they display. It uses machine learning to enable it to be much more intelligent about the upsampling methods applied to images. Clever stuff!
