All this AI (Artificial Intelligence) stuff scares the Heeby-Jeebies out of me!
It's got to the stage now, where I don't trust anything that I see/hear on the News or the Internet!
Almost everything can now be faked to appear real, to fool the gullible public!
It all started a few years ago with a special computer program (I forget its name) generating monsters and morphing them endlessly into mythical creatures.
It has now evolved into an array of "AI" programs, mimicking everything, where nothing can be trusted or believed anymore!
It has gone far beyond a comical joke.
It can be very dangerous!
It's not a world that I feel happy with anymore!
Don't believe everything that you see or hear!

Oh my that Jasper tale is a dark and scary one...
Halfway through now, one can only bite so much at one sitting B-)

Then there is Steampunk.
For those fascinated by fantasmagorical machines and well, decolletage, in the later series
But look at the machines, gents.

Watch on youtube.com

I eschew the stuff that purports to be real, and so far I can easily tell the difference.

Pure magic is my preference: I changed the link above, so sorry I posted the wrong thing entirely!
Now THAT has Machines.

Notice that it took human intelligence to recognise that the posted link was wrong :D

It would be interesting to follow the list of commands necessary in the program to produce these fascinating animated videos!.... :D ... :D ...!

The highly realistic "wind effects" are amazing.... :o ... :o ....!

Paul.... :uk: ..... :cheers: ....!

P.S...by the way...what "program" is it??.... :rules: .... :thumbup: ...!
