I'll say something more about the Princess Kate video. It's clear to me that it is AI. One of the many "tells" is that the way she pauses and looks down is so stiff, sort of robotic. Also, the lighting is very weird. The shadow her back casts on the bench actually shows the stripes on her shirt. But I imagine that sort of thing will improve in time-- or perhaps very quickly. Mostly, however, the "tell" for me was that, to me, it felt soulless.
In recent days it has often come into my mind how eerie, how very disturbing it is that a such a person, so important for so many people in Great Britain, would be presented to them under false pretenses.
I had an interesting conversation with a publisher recently; he was telling me that now the AI audbook readers are now so good that, in a formal test, people could not tell the difference between a human and AI. I have not listened to an AI reading a book myself, however, so I could not say if that difference would be apparent to me or not. But for now, with video, it seems I can tell.
I can sometimes also sense the AI energies behind a comment-- I haven't had feedback to confirm this, however. To me some simply feels just alien, cold, metallic.
To the topic of this forum: I'm seeing scatterings of such comments that I suspect are AI on blogs and substacks. But not so many as I had expected.
