So, my feed has filled up with these little shorts where porch pirates are getting their comeuppance. with dye packs. The algorithms, they are algorithm-ing.
My question, Is this a real thing or are they AI generated? They are amusing for sure, but how many porch pirates are out there?
Pawpaw,
ReplyDeleteI see a bunch of these on Youtube also. My first thought when I saw these was not AI, but that they were someone faking them to get views.
I do have to say that AI has gotten to the point where I don't trust anything that I see unless I see it with my own eyes, and now that I am 65, I often feel like I need to double check then, to make sure that I am not seeing things or that my aging eyes are working right.
Have a good one.
Dunno, I've only seen 2 messages in my area about porch pirates.
ReplyDeleteThose have been going on long enough that I don't think of AI. However, the thought that at least some of them are staged/faked has occurred to me several times. Heck of it is, some of them make me wish my parcels were more vulnerable so I might download plans and participate. :-)
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, there was a guy who was rigging glitter bombs, but the glitter was disbursed by a spinning disk off an electric motor (interesting YouTube videos showing how he did it).
ReplyDeleteIf these were real, I could see the homeowner arrested for setting an illegal bomb trap, like other cases I've read over the years.
I would not be surprised if these things are illegal. It’s a bomb of some kind if you’re the DA.
ReplyDeleteMark Robar's videos were quite real.
ReplyDeleteIn my area there a lots of porch pirates and car door checkers.
