I tried to get my AI to do the same thing, but instead of autoencoding Blade Runner it just got the whole movie off a torrent while it played Dark Souls III. I have to say, the reproduction of Blade Runner was pretty fantastic, though.

the neural net, working naively to identify the significant elements of each frame, without human supervision, was able to capture the most important data
Itās version of āmost importantā doesnāt really match humanities version, does it? A person would key on movement or on human faces, but this does a particularly bad job of both.
So let me get this straight, his AI created a replicant of a movie about replicants ?

Arenāt there already disputes over artificially āreadingā e-books, in cases where an audiobook isnāt available for people with visual impairment?
No, of kittens. Donāt be silly.

That was my sort of thought also. I wasnāt aware that Youtubes system was a āneural netā, but I believe that a system like that does probably generate some minimal hash/fingerprint of the content for indexing. As at least one of the indicators.
Simply recording the predominant colours in the frames, sampled over time, and allowing for a margin of error, would probably eliminate almost every other video ever uploaded, and strike a positive here.
There is surely a lot more to it than that, and itās much deep maths, but at its core, i can imagine the indexing system is comparing some vastly rounded-down metricsā¦ and in this case the reductive metric was a match.
I wonder if some of those scenes with the blurred people is how those who cannot see faces, see the world.

Which version is it?

Exactly. This boils down to computers being programmed to compress data (in this case a video), which is nothing new. Cloaking it in breathless hyperbole (āthe neural net, working naively to identify the significant elements of each frame, without human supervisionā¦ā) is manipulative a best, and misleading at worst.

Thank you . I thought I didnāt understand until your comment.LOL
Iāll give you not letting them see Terminator. However Blade-Runner I would view as required viewing as it explores the nature of emotion and mortality.that just because youāre āsupposedā to go through murdering and or executing commands does not mean it is the correct thing to do from a moral standpoint.
My argument in favor of Short Circuit is even simpler:
āI know killing is wrong, but who taught you?ā
āI taught me.ā
I prefer the electric unicorn fan edit personally.

Jonny is effectivly a child forced to defend his right to exist and managed to do so without killing or even permnently injuring anyone. It does a bit wrong (indian guy justā¦ Dude no. Plz stop) but itās one of the most hopeful āwe made a killer robotā¦ oopsā movies ever.

He should have tried for the opposite effect: Recreate the video in such a way that the YouTube content id did not see the same thing.
āIs this a copy of Blade runner?
No my content id system clearing identifies it as two Russians bass fishing with dry ice.ā

Sounds like a self-taught compression algorithm.
I wonder how the reencoded movie is for human viewingā¦
I think your AI got it from another AI named āXVIDā
