Burton said Wednesday that seeing a website that had used AI to blend his drawings with Disney characters “really disturbed me.”

“It wasn’t an intellectual thought — it was just an internal, visceral feeling,” Burton told reporters during a preview of “The World of Tim Burton” exhibition at London’s Design Museum. “I looked at those things and I thought, ‘Some of these are pretty good.’ … (But) it gave me a weird sort of scary feeling inside.”

Burton said he thinks AI is unstoppable, because “once you can do it, people will do it.” But he scoffed when asked if he’d use the technology in this work.

I'm so glad that generative AI is dying, but please please please understand that chatbot AIs and art generation AIs and voice replicating AIs are not the ones I'm scared of, they're just the most gimmicky, and the easiest to fight in a court of law.

You should be concerned with facial recognition software being used in policing. Many of these AIs are trained on datasets of majority white males, meaning they become less accurate and less effective when used on someone outside of those demographics, meaning more innocent people of marginalized communities being accused and harassed by police.

You should be concerned with resume-reading AI. Amazon created an AI model that was trained on previous hiring data and used to filter out applications. The software recognized a pattern of applicants with non-white names being rejected and thus filtered out every applicant with any non-white name. This software was deemed a failure by Amazon and was scrapped, but highlights a big issue with AI in general. If there's a shred of bias in a testing dataset, that bias will be amplified by the software.

You should be concerned with autonomous weaponry used in warfare. See, when I say "I want fewer people to die in war", it's because I want less war. What I don't want is for large wealthy imperialist countries to be putting lethal weapons with little to no human oversight into warzones where they can 'identify enemy combatants' and 'eliminate targets' at the discretion of a computer program. You know it's bad when even Elon Musk has publicly supported a ban on autonomous weaponry.

You should be concerned with AIs being trained to diagnose medical problems. These AIs are being trained on diagnosis data of previous medical cases. Meaning using patient data for a testing dataset (HIPAA/PIPEDA/GDPR etc. violations??). Anyone who's been tossed around the medical system could tell you that removing the humanity from healthcare will only lead to more suffering.

These are only a few examples I know off the top of my head as someone studying computer science in undergrad. This isn't to say that all AI is bad. AI is such a huge category of software that lumping it all together is irresponsible. AI is used in maps and navigation, spellcheck, translation software, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, online banking, malware detection, hate speech filtering, and so many assistive technologies for disabled people.

I'm glad that chatGPT and AI art generators are dying, but they're barely even on my list of concerns when it comes to AI technology.

There's a lot of dodgy shit going on with AI voice synthesis, but it's all case-by-case. For example, Sam Altman being obsessed with his AI having the voice of Scarlett Johansson without paying her. Like, dude, come on. You blew a shitton of money on that boondoggle, what's stopping you from getting that voice legitimately, with contract, the actress getting paid, etcetera?

Compare that with CD Projekt deciding to use AI for recording new lines for Viktor Vektor in Cyberpunk 2077 after his voice actor Miłogost Reczek died. They asked his family for permission, paid them royalties and everything, took care to do this legitimately. So it is possible if you care enough.

We need to separate the technical side from the legal and business side here, and pay more attention to the latter: voice actors are legitimately upset that this tech can be used to screw them out of well-earned money for major commercial projects, because it's very tempting for the unscrupulous corporate beancounters to do such things. But pretty much like Pedro Pascal just recording his lines for later seasons of The Mandalorian while being replaced by stand-ins on set and still getting paid, the voice actors should have provisions for situations when they're not available and new lines have to be recorded using AI.

A lot of people try to explain this without knowing anything about how voice synthesis works, so here's my breakdown on No, Hatsune Miku Is Not AI, And No, AI Voice Synthesis Is Not Bad.

We've got to get louder about AI not being intelligent because these tech bros want to let it have your credit card history and let it buy things with your money

Demystifying Machine Learning: What It Is and Why It Matters in 2025

Published on May 26, 2025

Machine learning (ML) is one of the hottest topics in technology, but it often sounds intimidating to newcomers. The truth? You interact with machine learning every day, and its impact is only growing. In this post, we’ll break down what machine learning is, how it works, and why it’s so important in 2025.

What is Machine Learning?

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables computers to learn from data and improve their performance over time—without being explicitly programmed. Instead of following strict rules, ML systems use algorithms to identify patterns, make predictions, and adapt to new information.

How Does Machine Learning Work?

At its core, machine learning involves three main steps:

Data Collection: Gathering large amounts of data (text, images, numbers, etc.).

Training: Feeding this data into algorithms that “learn” from it by finding patterns and relationships.

Prediction: Using the trained model to make predictions or decisions on new, unseen data.

For example, when Netflix recommends a new show, it’s using machine learning to analyze your viewing habits and predict what you’ll enjoy next.

Types of Machine Learning

Supervised Learning: The algorithm learns from labeled data (e.g., emails marked as spam or not spam).

Unsupervised Learning: The algorithm finds patterns in data without labels (e.g., grouping similar customers for marketing).

Reinforcement Learning: The algorithm learns by trial and error, receiving rewards or penalties (e.g., teaching a robot to walk).

Real-World Applications in 2025

Machine learning is everywhere! Here are some examples you might recognize:

Healthcare: Diagnosing diseases from medical images.

Finance: Detecting fraudulent transactions.

Retail: Personalizing shopping experiences.

Transportation: Powering self-driving cars.

Social Media: Filtering harmful content and curating your feed.

Why Does Machine Learning Matter?

Machine learning is revolutionizing industries, making technology smarter and more responsive. As data continues to grow, ML will drive innovation in everything from climate science to entertainment.

Getting Started with Machine Learning

You don’t need to be a programmer to explore machine learning! Many online platforms offer beginner-friendly courses and interactive demos. Stay tuned to AI Insights Hub for upcoming guides on how you can experiment with ML tools—no coding required.

Yes. It's a novelty trick but it quickly gets boring.

Okay, I still get a kick from listening to my lyrics wrapped in some ridiculously pop AI-generated music, and it still gets views, and there's ten bucks on the table that would get those tunes on Spotify because people actually want it, but it's a fad. Plus, the tech is rickety as fuck and I'm putting up with it only because I know how much of an expensive pain in the ass being in a band is, and I know my vocal capabilities (not great, absolutely terrible - and there's video evidence for it).

And for AI-generated images, the hype is dead or at least effectively dying. Just like I predicted half a year ago. Not because some miraculous program that stopped the evil corporations from stealing everyone's art (I would like to remind you again, that one doesn't work for shit), but because these days, only the boomers, the scammers and the pervs are using it. No matter how many images they run on, no matter how large the dictionaries, image generators are softly clonking against a glass ceiling, unable to consistently draw hands properly after three years, four major versions and countless finetuned custom models cooked by basement-dwelling nerds. AI-generated videos? Forget about it. The final nail to that coffin was a has-been rock band paying someone actual money for a laughably bad montage of jittery slow pans across StableDiffusion-generated shots that kept coming apart. If you want to see that train wreck, I'm talking about Saxon's video for their new song "Madame Guillotine".

But most importantly, the main function of LLMs isn't a "sometimes-wrong talking encyclopedia". It's composing grammatically correct sentences and that is it. Trying to make it act as an encyclopedia or any sort of factual reference is NOT what it was made for. Remember thatcan.be? Or WhatWouldISay? Those things were the first attempts at what we're seeing now in ChatGPT and other LLM-based chatbots. Hell, there's a whole-ass Tumblr blog dedicated to AI weirdness (unsurprisingly, it's called @aiweirdness), and there's a whole lot of shit there that is more likely to make you question your sanity than to encourage anyone to invest in AI.
