#Personal Robots Market Applications

[researchrealmblog]

How Are AI and IoT Integration in Robotics Augmenting Personal Robots Demand?

People across the world are increasingly using mobile robots to meet the rising security concerns. These robots are embedded with automation solutions and artificial intelligence (AI), which enable their mobility. Such robots are being largely used in spying applications, as they can detect thieves and unidentified individuals entering houses and make a noise to alert house owners of the intrusion. Additionally, the rising integration of the internet of things (IoT) in personal robots also makes them mobile, owing to which they can cover and secure more areas.

Thus, the burgeoning demand for mobile robots will help the personal robots market exhibit a CAGR of 7.8% during 2020–2030. Additionally, the declining cost of personal robots will also aid the market revenue to surge from $21.5 billion in 2019 to $51.5 billion by 2030. The plunging price of such robotic systems can be attributed to the increasing shift of manufacturing units of robotic companies from developed countries to developing countries. For instance, in November 2019, iRobot Corporation commenced robot manufacturing at its Malaysian factory.

Cleaning robots, educational robots, security robots, companion robots, handicap assistance robots, personal transportation robots, and entertainment and toy robots are the common types of personal robots available across the world. In the coming years, companion robots will be adopted at the highest rate due to the surging emptiness in lives of people, owing to the absence of a companion, especially in developed countries. Moreover, declining fertility in countries such as Japan will also propel the adoption of the companion robots.

Currently, personal robot manufacturers are engaging in developing more advanced robots to cater to evolving customer needs. For instance, customers these days are demanding Wi-Fi-enabled robots to establish a communication channel between all the robots around them. Some of the key manufacturers working toward the provision of advanced robots are Segway Inc., GeckoSystems International Corporation, Neato Robotics Inc., Honda Motor Co. Ltd., F&P Robotics AG, ZMP Inc., Ecovacs Robotics Inc., Sony Corporation, iRobot Corporation, and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.

Geographically, Europe dominated the personal robots market in the preceding years, due to the strong presence of robot manufacturers in the region. Moreover, the mounting investments being made in robotics companies and the rising number of partnerships among such firms will also encourage the usage of personal robots in Europe. For example, in February 2019, Zorabot collaborated with temi USA Inc. to sell "temi - The Personal Robot" in France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy, the U.K., and the Netherlands.

Whereas, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is expected to adopt personal robots at the highest rate in the forthcoming years, due to the increasing purchasing power of people. The surging affluence of people is encouraging them to deploy personal robots that take up numerous daily tasks. Among APAC nations, China, India, South Korea, and Japan are projected to use a considerable number of personal robots, owing to the plunging costs of robotic vacuum cleaners and the increasing developments of advanced technologies in these countries.  

Therefore, the escalating demand for mobile robots and the plunging cost of robotic systems will propel the adoption of personal robots, worldwide.

There's a nuance to the Amazon AI checkout story that gets missed.

Because AI-assisted checkouts on its own isn't a bad thing:

This was a big story in 2022, about a bread-checkout system in Japan that turned out to be applicable in checking for cancer cells in sample slides.

But that bonus anti-cancer discovery isn't the subject here, the actual bread-checkout system is. That checkout system worked, because it wasn't designed with the intent of making the checkout cashier obsolete, rather, it was there to solve a real problem: it's hard to tell pastry apart at a glance, and the customers didn't like their bread with a plastic-wrapping and they didn't like the cashiers handling the bread to count loaves.

So they trained the system intentionally, under controlled circumstances, before testing and launching the tech. The robot does what it's good at, and it doesn't need to be omniscient because it's a tool, not a replacement worker.

Amazon, however, wanted to offload its training not just on an underpaid overseas staff, but on the customers themselves. And they wanted it out NOW so they could brag to shareholders about this new tech before the tech even worked. And they wanted it to replace a person, but not just the cashier. There were dreams of a world where you can't shoplift because you'd get billed anyway dancing in the investor's heads.

Only, it's one thing to make a robot that helps cooperative humans count bread, and it's another to try and make one that can thwart the ingenuity of hungry people.

The foreign workers performing the checkouts are actually supposed to be training the models. A lot of reports gloss over this in an effort to present the efforts as an outsourcing Mechanical Turk but that's really a side-effect. These models all work on datasets, and the only place you get a dataset of "this visual/sensor input=this purchase" is if someone is cataloging a dataset correlating the two...

Which Amazon could have done by simply putting the sensor system in place and correlating the purchase data from the cashiers with the sensor tracking of the customer. Just do that for as long as you need to build the dataset and test it by having it predict and compare in the background until you reach your preferred ratio. If it fails, you have a ton of market research data as a consolation prize.

But that could take months or years and you don't get to pump your stock until it works, and you don't get to outsource your cashiers while pretending you've made Westworld work.

This way, even though Amazon takes a little bit of a PR bloody nose, they still have the benefit of any stock increase this already produced, the shareholders got their dividends.

Which I suppose is a lot of words to say:

You pass through the entryway of your shared penthouse apartment, the doors slamming shut behind you. With a groan, you kick off your shoes and trudge over to the pink, plush couch. You bellyflop onto it, and your mind, which has had your stress amped up to eleven for the past month due to needing to finish your thesis, finally breaks away and puts you in a more vulnerable state.

As you hug one of the many plushies of Mettaton’s box form that lies around the house, the aforementioned robot enters the room. “Well, hello, beau-” Mettaton stops short as he sees you curled up like a cat on the couch, hands clenched around the marketable plush. He slowly walks over to the sofa, gently sitting on it and placing a hand on your back. “Is it one of those small times again, darling?” You nod, your head peeking out for a moment. “I understand. You’ve been so stressed lately and barely had a break.”

“Been hard,” you mumble. “Don’t have much time for care.” The anxiety had taken an effect on your skin and body, with pimples from stress sprouting on your face and your back aching from hours spent bent over your laptop.

“I can tell, lovie. Would you like me to help you feel pretty again?” You nod in response, and Mettaton takes a pillow from the couch and places it on his lap. “Come here, let me braid your hair.” You ease into his touch, allowing his gloved fingers to ease the tension in your scalp and partition your hair. The motions are repetitive and controlled, allowing you to relax more and reduce the worries inside your head. “I understand if you don’t want to talk, darling. Would you like me to share some good news instead?” You reply with a happy hum. “Good!”

Sony Aibo on Science et Vie Micro Issue 179 (02-2000)

Translation in English:

Japanese convergence

Twice this year, Sony has marketed its robotic Aibo, a luxurious toy for spoiled children. But the beast could soon change its vocation.

In two, even three years, Aibo, man's best cybernetic friend, could make friends with the Playstation 2! If, currently, the Aibo mainly resembles a gadget for privileged wealthy people, and which we tire of relatively quickly, Sony has other ambitions for future models. His project, in addition to a more affordable price, aims to develop an interface that would allow you to connect your Aibo to another of its great successes: its Playstation game console. Rather clever: with nearly 40% of Sony's profits in 1998 coming from the division which takes care of the video games activity (SCE), the Playstation has become a major business for the Japanese electronics giant.

Aibo on Playstation The Playstation 2 is announced commercially in Japan from March. This new version of the first game console is already making many people dream: not only does it have exceptional computing power, but it is also equipped with sophisticated connectivity. The public's reception promises to be enthusiastic, so this should make it the ideal platform for the Aibo! The latter currently uses an 8 or 32 MB Memory Stick to store its programmed behaviors. Thanks to a remote control which emits sound signals, it is possible to transmit a few simple orders. The next generations should of course go further. Among other things, it would be possible to download a program or a series of instructions created on Playstation 2 directly into the beast.

A multitude of possible applications can be envisaged. For example, an introduction to programming, inspired by the Logo language for children: but instead of moving a "turtle" in the two-dimensional space of a computer screen, it would be the robot that would follow the programmed path.

Another possible application: a "player" could program a route or a mission (forbidding "intruders" from his room, checking the presence in a given place of a person whose "visual signature" or "voice print" the Aibo knows), or even a joust with a friend's Aibo (race, jumping competition or other free figures…). All this could even be accomplished via a virtual Aibo that you move around with the joystick like in some kind of video game, rather than entering lines of code or macros. Once the room had been simply modeled in 3D using primitives (cubes, cylinders, etc.), the virtual robot would then have to be moved around this 3D world, an exact copy of the house, before the Aibo could actually perform the maneuver.

Video Agent: The Future of AI-Powered Content Creation

The rise of AI-generated content has transformed how businesses and creators produce videos. Among the most innovative tools is the video agent, an AI-driven solution that automates video creation, editing, and optimization. Whether for marketing, education, or entertainment, video agents are redefining efficiency and creativity in digital media.

In this article, we explore how AI-powered video agents work, their benefits, and their impact on content creation.

What Is a Video Agent?

A video agent is an AI-based system designed to assist in video production. Unlike traditional editing software, it leverages machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to automate tasks such as:

Scriptwriting – Generates engaging scripts based on keywords.

Voiceovers – Converts text to lifelike speech in multiple languages.

Editing – Automatically cuts, transitions, and enhances footage.

Personalization – Tailors videos for different audiences.

These capabilities make video agents indispensable for creators who need high-quality content at scale.

How AI Video Generators Work

The core of a video agent lies in its AI algorithms. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

1. Input & Analysis

Users provide a prompt (e.g., "Create a 1-minute explainer video about AI trends"). The AI video generator analyzes the request and gathers relevant data.

2. Content Generation

Using GPT-based models, the system drafts a script, selects stock footage (or generates synthetic visuals), and adds background music.

3. Editing & Enhancement

The video agent refines the video by:

Adjusting pacing and transitions.

Applying color correction.

Syncing voiceovers with visuals.

4. Output & Optimization

The final video is rendered in various formats, optimized for platforms like YouTube, TikTok, or LinkedIn.

Benefits of Using a Video Agent

Adopting an AI-powered video generator offers several advantages:

1. Time Efficiency

Traditional video production takes hours or days. A video agent reduces this to minutes, allowing rapid content deployment.

2. Cost Savings

Hiring editors, voice actors, and scriptwriters is expensive. AI eliminates these costs while maintaining quality.

3. Scalability

Businesses can generate hundreds of personalized videos for marketing campaigns without extra effort.

4. Consistency

AI ensures brand voice and style remain uniform across all videos.

5. Accessibility

Even non-experts can create professional videos without technical skills.

Top Use Cases for Video Agents

From marketing to education, AI video generators are versatile tools. Key applications include:

1. Marketing & Advertising

Personalized ads – AI tailors videos to user preferences.

Social media content – Quickly generates clips for Instagram, Facebook, etc.

2. E-Learning & Training

Automated tutorials – Simplifies complex topics with visuals.

Corporate training – Creates onboarding videos for employees.

3. News & Journalism

AI-generated news clips – Converts articles into video summaries.

4. Entertainment & Influencers

YouTube automation – Helps creators maintain consistent uploads.

Challenges & Limitations

Despite their advantages, video agents face some hurdles:

1. Lack of Human Touch

AI may struggle with emotional nuance, making some videos feel robotic.

2. Copyright Issues

Using stock footage or AI-generated voices may raise legal concerns.

3. Over-Reliance on Automation

Excessive AI use could reduce creativity in content creation.

The Future of Video Agents

As AI video generation improves, we can expect:

Hyper-realistic avatars – AI-generated presenters indistinguishable from humans.

Real-time video editing – Instant adjustments during live streams.

Advanced personalization – AI predicting viewer preferences before creation.

There are different definitions of "AGI" (Artificial General Intelligence). Some people focus on AI's understanding and possibly even sentience, while many focus on what it can do. Some people define it as equivalent to the abilities of the average person; others, as equivalent to the abilities of experts.

Part of the challenge is that intelligence comes in many forms. For instance, the ability to grasp objects is a form of intelligence though it's not something people generally think of as a business-related skill. And at the same time, the moravec paradox observes that computers are great at things humans are not and vice versa (e.g. computers have a hard time grasping objects but can do advanced maths in milliseconds.) So, comparing human and machine intelligence is challenging.

That said, I favor the "what it can do" approach because that has the most immediate impact in people's lives. That is, if we have AI systems that can do economically useful work just as good as the average person (or even better, the average expert), that means a few things:

People won't be needed to work. (Jobs? Economy?)

All economic output could increase several times over. For instance, AI may advance our tech. At a minimum, robots can work 24/7/365 whereas humans work a fraction of that. Imagine our ability to fabricate advanced computing chips doubling, which can then be used to make more chips, etc.

We may have begun the "singularity", where digital based knowledge and skills skyrockets. This is because we will have reached a point where the AI can improve itself. This means expanding the types of jobs it can perform, improving its performance, and likely innovating new techniques or technologies to assist with its goals.

(Of course, that could have tremendously good or tremendously bad outcomes - e.g. global retirement and healthy ecosystem vs literal doom - but that's another discussion.)

This vid argues that we've hit AGI by this definition. And I think that by some narrow definitions, this may be the case. (I still think we need more accuracy, a better "ecosystem" for it to function, more real-world modeling, etc. OTOH, this isn't preventing it from being massively useful right now.) So, this doesn't mean that the things I just listed will happen tomorrow - but it does mean that we should be expecting more enormous advances in the lab, and start to see real world applications slowly beginning. The line between AI and AGI is quickly blurring. Buckle up.

p.s. I know casual readers probably hear about AI here and there but may still have a picture in their head of AI as basically just a tool for making crappy pictures. I'm begging y'all to see that AI is both way beyond that (e.g. it's now making literal movies, and rapidly approaching market-ready results) and more importantly, that it's much more than that. AI is advancing every field of science, from fusion energy to quantum computing to curing diseases and so much more. This is no longer a curiosity. This is real and it's here.

The Impact of AI Software on Business: Enhancing Efficiency with AI Business Tools

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, businesses are continuously seeking innovative solutions to enhance productivity and streamline operations. AI software for business and AI business tools have emerged as transformative technologies, enabling organizations to harness the power of artificial intelligence to improve efficiency, decision-making, and customer satisfaction. This article explores the benefits, applications, and best practices of integrating AI software into your business strategy.

Understanding AI Software for Business

AI software for business encompasses a wide range of applications and tools designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These can include natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), computer vision, and robotic process automation (RPA). By leveraging these technologies, businesses can automate routine tasks, analyze large datasets, and gain insights that drive strategic decision-making.

Benefits of AI Software

Increased Efficiency: One of the primary advantages of AI software is its ability to automate repetitive tasks. For example, businesses can use AI-powered chatbots to handle customer inquiries, allowing human agents to focus on more complex issues.

Data Analysis and Insights: AI tools can analyze vast amounts of data quickly, providing valuable insights that help businesses make informed decisions. This capability is particularly beneficial in areas such as market research, customer behavior analysis, and financial forecasting.

Enhanced Customer Experience: AI software can personalize customer interactions by analyzing user behavior and preferences. For instance, AI can recommend products based on past purchases, improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Cost Savings: By automating tasks and improving operational efficiency, businesses can significantly reduce labor costs. AI tools can help identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement, leading to further cost reductions.

Scalability: AI business tools can easily scale with a company’s growth. As a business expands, AI solutions can adapt to increasing data volumes and more complex operational needs without requiring a complete overhaul.

Key Applications of AI Business Tools

AI business tools can be integrated into various business functions, enhancing productivity and effectiveness. Here are some key applications:

1. Marketing Automation

AI software can analyze customer data to optimize marketing campaigns. Tools like predictive analytics can forecast customer behavior, allowing businesses to tailor their marketing strategies for better engagement. Moreover, AI can automate social media posting and email marketing, ensuring timely communication with minimal effort.

2. Customer Service

AI-powered chatbots are revolutionizing customer service by providing instant responses to customer inquiries. These bots can handle multiple requests simultaneously, improving response times and reducing wait times for customers. Additionally, AI can analyze customer interactions to identify common issues and suggest improvements to service processes.

3. Sales Optimization

AI business tools can streamline the sales process by providing insights into customer behavior and preferences. Sales teams can utilize AI for lead scoring, identifying high-potential leads based on historical data. This targeted approach helps sales representatives prioritize their efforts, increasing conversion rates.

4. Human Resources Management

AI software can transform human resources processes by automating tasks such as resume screening and employee onboarding. AI tools can analyze candidate profiles, helping HR professionals identify the best-fit candidates quickly. Furthermore, AI can monitor employee performance and engagement, enabling proactive measures to enhance workplace satisfaction.

5. Supply Chain Management

In supply chain management, AI can optimize inventory management, demand forecasting, and logistics. AI algorithms analyze historical data and market trends to predict demand, helping businesses maintain optimal inventory levels. This reduces carrying costs and minimizes the risk of stockouts or overstocking.

Best Practices for Implementing AI Software

While integrating AI software into your business can yield significant benefits, it’s essential to approach implementation strategically. Here are some best practices:

1. Define Clear Objectives

Before adopting AI software, clearly define your business objectives. Identify the specific problems you aim to solve or the processes you wish to improve. This clarity will guide your selection of AI tools and help measure their impact.

2. Start Small

Begin with small-scale AI projects to test their effectiveness before rolling them out on a larger scale. This approach allows you to evaluate the software’s performance, identify potential challenges, and make necessary adjustments.

4. Monitor Performance

Continuously monitor the performance of AI software to assess its impact on your business. Collect data on key performance indicators (KPIs) related to the areas you aim to improve. Regular evaluations will help you refine your AI strategy and make informed decisions about future investments.

5. Prioritize Data Security

As AI software relies on data to function effectively, it’s essential to prioritize data security and privacy. Implement robust security measures to protect sensitive information and comply with relevant regulations. Ensure that your AI solutions follow best practices for data handling and storage.

Conclusion

Incorporating AI software for business and AI business tools can significantly enhance operational efficiency and drive growth. By automating tasks, providing valuable insights, and improving customer interactions, businesses can stay competitive in an ever-evolving market. As you explore the potential of AI, remember to approach implementation thoughtfully, keeping in mind the specific needs and objectives of your organization. With the right strategy, AI can be a game-changer for your business, paving the way for increased productivity and success.

Are There Chances of Chatgpt Replacing Programmers?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is creating waves across various industries including the tech industry. The emergence of the various language models that include Chatgpt has left may wondering whether AI will be replacing the programmers. Chatgpt is a natural language chatbot that helps people write emails, college essays, song lyrics etc. Some of the earliest users of chatgpt have even used it to write the python code. The popularity of chatgpt has grown because of its practical applications. The question that however arises here is whether it will be able to replace the developers and the writers just as computers and robots have replaced cashiers and assembly line workers or perhaps the taxi drivers in the future. If you are interested in understanding how you can improve your work with chatgpt, you can pursue a good Search Engine Marketing Course In Gurugram.

Reasons for The Growing Popularity of Chatgpt

Chatgpt has been able to impress several people as it is able to simulate human conversations and also sounds quite knowledgeable. Chatgpt has been developed by OpenAI which is the creator of the most popular text to image AI engine called Dall- E. Chatgpt uses algorithms that helps in analysing and humans fine tune the system’s training to respond to the questions of the user with full sentences that sound similar to that of human beings.

Statistics Related to Chatgpt

A recent paper that was published by OpenAI revealed that as many as 80% of the US workforce have a minimum of 10% of their tasks affected by Chatgpt and other language models. Another research revealed that as many as 20% of the workers will find that 50% of their tasks will get affected by AI. If you want to become a web designer, you can get in touch with the best Search engine marketing institute in Gurgaon. Here you will get to learn about the use of chatgpt in the best way so that you are able to stay ahead in the competition.

The programmers can be relieved for now as it is not among the hundred professions that are going to be impacted by Chatgpt. Some of the professions that will be impacted include:

Why Will It Not Affect The Programmers?

Though Chatgpt is able to generate code and is also able to write programs, however, the process lacks proper understanding, problem solving ability and creativity that human beings have. It operates based on the patterns of the data that he was trained on. Like human programmers, it is not able to understand the code that it writes. It is also not able to understand the requirements of the projects and is not able to make It can’t understand project requirements, make architectural decisions to solve the human problems in a creative manner.

It is true that AI is able to automate repetitive tasks but programming is not just about writing codes. It is much more than that. Programming requires high level decision, personal interaction and strategic planning that AI is not able to do as these are elements that cannot be automated.

Software development is a creative field that requires users' understanding, based on feedback and sometimes abandoning the initial plans and starting all over again. All of these fall outside the realm of the AI capabilities. Pursuing a good online SEM course in Gurgaon will certainly benefit you.

Flaws of Chatgpt

1.   Chatgpt has some flaws and limitations and that is why it cannot be a perfect content writing tool. It is also not a very reliable tool for creating codes as it is based on data and not on human intelligence. The sentences might sound coherent but they are not critically informed responses.

2.   It is true that in the website of Chatgpt, you will find out ways that will help you debug code using this tool. But the responses are generated from prior code and it is incapable of replicating human based QA. This means that the code that it will generate will have bugs and errors. OpenAI have themselves accepted the fact that the tool at times writes plausible sounding but nonsensical and incorrect answers. So it is important for you to not use it directly in the production of any program.

3.   The lack of reliability is creating a lot of problems for the developer community. In a question and answer website called Stack Overflow, where the coders used chatgpt to write and troubleshoot codes have banned its use. The reason for this is that there is such a huge volume of response generated by Chatgpt that it could not keep up with the quality which is done by humans. The average rate of getting correct answers in chatgpt is quite less. So, chatgpt is harmful for the site and for those people who are looking for correct answers from that site.

4.   It is important to understand here that Chatgpt, like the other machine learning tools, is trained on data that suits its outcome. It is therefore unable to understand the human context of computing to do the programming properly. It is essential for the software engineers to understand the purpose of the software that they are developing and also the purpose of the people using it. It is not possible to create good software just by cobbling programs together.

Conclusion

So the simple answer to the question as to whether chatgpt will be able to replace the programmers is “No”. Chatgpt and the other AI tools can certainly automate the tasks, however they cannot replace human creativity, understanding and the problem solving capabilities. As of now we should consider AI as an augmenting force. It is a tool that helps programmers and software developers to be much more effective in their respective roles. Though chatgpt does have some flaws, if you want to learn to use it in the most effective way, you can get in touch with the Best SEM Training Institute in Gurgaon.

[notthegrouch]

The reasoning of "just a tool" shows an incredible understatement of understanding of how much the generative AI is impacting the professional fields, and as a consequence of that, the aspirations of amateurs.

A famous saying in the artistic and literary world is "Ideas are cheap". it's the actual work that goes into the execution that makes art art, and that doesn't have to mean that it all needs to be photorealistic, but that does mean that the process of the art creation is often what is talked about when you see it in museums or at competitions.

Jackson Pollock splattered paint on a canvas, Marcel Duchamp declared a urinoir to be a fountain and it was art; the idea was cheap. The boldness of actually going all in on the simplicity of that process and taking it seriously, openly and honestly showing that their process WAS in fact just splattering paint or picking up ready made objects, that was all very new.

in the same way, you can't really pull that off nowadays anymore, because you'll just be someone who imitates Pollock or Duchamps.

Some artists, however use large machines and robotics. This looks very cool! The Robotic art piece Can't Help Myself has been seen on tumblr, the sad robotic arm that does a little dance as dark red liquid oozes out, until it seemingly panics and quickly starts wiping the liquid back into itself. The machinery is used here as "just a tool" too.

But the incredibly widespread application of AI art combines all the worst factors of all of this; AI makes it very easy to execute any cheap idea and get an artwork that looks decent at first glance, but there's nothing really bold or honest about pretending to have made an oil painting while you know nothing about oil, paint, or color theory. There is barely any process to speak of, other than the prompt/programming that was offered to the AI and the amount of iterations the computer went through until you reach the desired result. but since most of the process happens through machine learning, we can't really peer into that in the same way that we can peer into humans without humanizing the machine. At the same time, because a lot of AI function via the internet (though of course not all of them do), there's also a little bit of obscuring that goes on when it comes to the process. in art, when I think of "just a tool", I think of a brush, a pencil, a pen. in some cases a personal computer, or a drawing tablet. house hold items, that, although some can be expensive, or big, are ultimately clearly tools.

What I DON'T think of when someone mentions tools are factory machines that could replace 90% of a work force. When a car factory is managed by 100 mechanics, and 90 of them get replaced by robotic arms, it's not the correct terminology to say "don't worry, that arm is just a tool". And if hundreds or thousands of amateur crafters suddenly start building shoddy cars in their back yard because they could afford to have such a mechanical arm installed, would you still feel safe on the road? The amount of mechanical arms suddenly being on the market drives up the prices of computers. Generative AI is that mechanical arm. The internet is being overrun with quickly made, shoddy art, often presented as realistic depictions of either hand made art, or even real life photography. AI art that, within it's own picture, boldly shows to be AI art is very rare and unsurprisingly THAT is the AI art that can also be seen in museums sometimes. At the same time the popularity of the AI art causes a host of environmental concerns and unforeseen political problems. Art, messaging and propaganda is made at a scale never seen before, and it's doing damage.

So when people say AI is just a tool, no it's not. It's a factory machine capable of replacing an artistic team, being put into the hands of the common people, and treated as if it's merely a pencil. And it is spreading very very cheap ideas very very quickly.

i literally dont care what your excuse for using AI is. if you didnt put your own effort into making it im not putting my own effort into interacting with it.
