I was asked to explain "what the AI thing is all about" at a family get together this week. Everyone seemed to have a different, but very specific angle for what it is. I tried to briefly explain DALL-E and ChatGPT, distinguish them from other types of AI, talk about where it's been used in good, bad, and ugly ways, and the downsides (information quality, environment impact, lack of source attribution), etc. No idea how much will stick from it, but hopefully something.

Someone said, "I will be crazy when these things can also make realistic looking human faces."

So I shared https://this-person-does-not-exist.com and told them that they'd probably seen faces generated like this on fake social media accounts at some point before without realizing it.

I also shared that there are legitimate use cases for machine learning, such as modeling climate change or environment impacts based on actual research data, etc.
