I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords

Halls of higher lerning.

Stanford Residential & Dining Enterprises recently used AI to change the races of the students it included in its advertisements. AI was also used to noticeably slim down and alter students’ faces.

On his journey to campus, Stanford student Billy Ramirez ’27 was sent an image he recalled a Stanford photographer taking. Upon closer examination, he noticed that he had been removed from the photo and replaced by a AI-generated black woman.

    1. no no no ‘leared’ well. get it right ppl.
      oh ya, given in stalin’s days nothing was digital, it was all film and chemical emulsions. now? 99.0+% DIGITAL

  1. The primary school down the road from me had a ‘distressing’ number of new Canadians in attendance. Why should I have to pay for them learing English and not having basic hygiene? Boot them all out of the country tout de suite!

  2. Ramirez…yes, real Gringo name that.

    And Stanford is apparently discouraging weight-challenged people from attending.

  3. Speaking of racist!? They had to alter the Chinese girl’s moon face? ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Moonmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  4. I’d bet a human directed the change.
    And not a very good human and certainly not one who could be changed for the better.
