REAL ESTATE NEWS (Los Angeles, CA) — Imagine a close relative calling you on the phone, in deep trouble. They need a substantial amount of money, and need it now. After you quickly, dutifully send the money, you call them to see how they are doing, if they received the money — but they don’t know what you are talking about. Pure confusion, followed by astonishment, hurt, anger and embarrassment set in as you come to realize that you’ve been duped by a fake call from a scammer who used artificial intelligence to mimic the voice of your loved one.

The same technology can now be used to impersonate a property owner, home buyer, seller, renter, landlord or investor. It can impersonate your escrow officer, tricking you into wiring $100,000 to an imposter. Similar a.i. scam tactics are sure to be used in myriad real estate frauds as soon as 2023. Artificial Intelligence is just as transformational, it not more so, than the internet has been. But AI is happening much, much faster. The possibilities for deception and danger are unlimited, even life-threatening. So far, the only people killed by AI have been negligent, careless users such Tesla Auto Pilot drivers who failed to pay attention. But the threat is skyrocketing. As AI is given more control of more things, bad guys are sure to weaponize these powerful tools in every way possible.

Trust no one!  Trust nothing!  Be ready for anything!

The Loft Blog has been leading the way in the effort to prevent real estate fraud in Los Angeles for more than 10 years. We’ve helped put several fraudsters behind bars, and we’ve hopefully prevented many more frauds from occurring. Today, we’re faced, not only with an explosion of fraud in general, but now an impending atom bomb of illegal deception and theft — an even more sinister kind of new fraud that uses unimaginably powerful technology of Artificial Intelligence in emails, text, messages, videos and phone calls.

It’s happening very, very fast! In just just the past few months, text and illustration AI services such as ChatGPT and MidJourney have transformed from impressive but janky illustrations to smooth, lifelike letters and convincing photographic quality to compete with master artists and authors. As artificial intelligence continues to advance exponentially, it’s becoming increasingly clear that we are entering a new era of technology that will have far-reaching implications for society. In this blog post, we’ll examine the power of AI and explore why it’s so important for us to collectively think about the future of this technology.

First, let’s consider the current state of AI. Artificial Intelligence is now capable of generating incredibly complex and sophisticated language, pictures, videos and sound, which has far-reaching implications for everything from online content to job automation. As AI continues to advance, we can expect to see even more dramatic changes to our economy, our social interactions, and the way we think about ourselves and the world around us.

In this Youtube video, a young lady shows how easily an AI video filter not only applies her flawless lifelike virtual make-up on the fly, but even adds lip filler and other improvements to create an instant stunning supermodel face that would have otherwise required numerous plastic surgeries. With Deep Fake and social media video chat filters, anyone can now easily pretend to be anyone else.

This rapid progress has also created a number of risks and uncertainties. AI is becoming more powerful and more autonomous, which means that it’s increasingly difficult for humans to control or predict how it will behave. There are also growing concerns about issues like bias, privacy, and security, which are becoming more pressing as AI becomes more pervasive.

Given these challenges, it’s not surprising that many experts are calling for a more concerted effort to address the risks of AI. This will require a multifaceted approach that involves everyone from policymakers and academics to tech companies and individual users. We need to work together to develop a shared understanding of the risks and opportunities of AI, and to develop effective strategies for managing these risks.

One of the key challenges in managing the risks of AI is the fact that this technology is rapidly advancing, making it difficult to keep up. We need to be aware of the likelihood of startling exponential growth in AI capabilities, which are creating unexpected risks and challenges. To address this, we need to develop new ways of thinking about the long-term implications of AI and to invest in research and development to help us stay ahead of the curve.

As warned by Elon Musk, the existential threat of this monstrous technology calls for greater public engagement with AI. We need to create more opportunities for democratic debate and dialogue about the future of AI, so that we can develop a shared vision for what we want this technology to look like. This will require a concerted effort to engage a wide range of stakeholders, from policymakers and academics to ordinary citizens who will be impacted by AI in various ways.

We must instantly learn to recognize that we are all responsible, not just for protecting ourselves and our loved ones, but we’re also responsible for the future of AI. If you’re involved in developing or using AI, you have a responsibility to help manage its risks and ensure that it is used in ways that benefit not only your own group, but society as a whole. This will require a collective effort that involves everyone from technologists and policymakers to individual users and consumers.

The rise of AI is one of the most important technological developments of our time, and it will have far-reaching implications for the future of our society. While there are many challenges associated with AI, from bias and security to privacy and control, there are also many opportunities, from medical breakthroughs to new ways of solving social problems. To navigate this complex landscape, we need to work together to develop a shared understanding of the risks and opportunities of AI, and to develop effective strategies for managing these risks. This will require a collective effort that involves everyone from policymakers and academics to tech companies and individual users, and it will require ongoing dialogue and engagement with the public to ensure that AI is used in ways that benefit us all.

ARTS DISTRICT

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we create, view, and interpret art. In the 21st century, AI is playing a significant role in the art world and is changing our understanding of creativity, aesthetics, and originality. This blog post was written and illustrated using A.I. tools ChatGPT and DALL-E 2. | ARTS DISTRICT LOFTS

Art has always been a reflection of the society and the technological advancements of its time. From the invention of the printing press to the digital age, art has been adapted and transformed by new technologies. The rise of AI in the 21st century is no exception. In recent years, artists, curators, and art lovers have been exploring the potential of AI in the creation, display, and analysis of art.

One of the key ways in which AI is influencing the art world is through the creation of new forms of art. AI algorithms can be used to generate entirely new works of art, including images, music, and even films. For example, AI-generated images have been used to create stunning digital paintings, and AI algorithms have been used to create musical compositions that can sound eerily human. This new form of art is often referred to as “AI art” or “algorithmic art.” | LOS ANGELES ART SHOW 2023

AI art is challenging traditional concepts of creativity, originality, and authorship. AI algorithms can generate thousands of different variations of the same image, making it difficult to determine which one is “original.” Furthermore, the question of who should be credited as the “author” of an AI-generated work of art remains unresolved. Some argue that the creator of the algorithm should be credited as the author, while others argue that the credit should go to the person who trained the algorithm or even to the algorithm itself.

Another way in which AI is changing the art world is through the use of computer vision algorithms in the analysis and interpretation of art. AI algorithms can be trained to identify patterns and styles in art, as well as to analyze and interpret the emotions and themes present in works of art. This allows for a new level of understanding and appreciation of art, and it can also help to shed light on the historical context in which the art was created.

For example, computer vision algorithms can be used to identify the styles of different artists, or to analyze the use of color in a particular painting. This can provide new insights into the art, such as the influence of other artists on a particular artist, or the way in which color was used to convey emotions or themes.

AI is also changing the way in which art is displayed and presented to the public. With the rise of virtual and augmented reality technologies, art can now be experienced in new and innovative ways. For example, virtual reality and augmented reality can be used to create immersive exhibitions, allowing visitors to explore and interact with works of art in a way that was previously not possible.

AI can be used to create interactive exhibitions, where visitors can use their smartphones or other devices to access additional information about the works of art on display. This can include information about the artists, the historical context in which the art was created, and even the inspiration behind the works.

AI is playing an increasingly important role in the art world in the 21st century. Whether it is through the creation of new forms of art, the analysis and interpretation of art, or the display and presentation of art to the public, AI is changing our understanding of creativity, aesthetics, and originality.

As AI continues to evolve and develop, it is likely that its influence on the art world will only grow. While some may view AI as a threat to the traditional concepts of art and creativity, others see it as a new and exciting opportunity to explore the boundaries of art and push the limits of what is possible. Regardless of one’s perspective, there is no denying that AI is bringing about a new era in the art world, one that is filled with exciting possibilities and challenges.

Down sides exist, of course. There are concerns about the impact of AI on the art world, particularly with regards to employment and the role of artists. As AI algorithms become more advanced and capable of generating high-quality art, there are concerns that they may eventually replace human artists and lead to job losses.

Additionally, the rise of AI in the art world raises important ethical and legal questions, such as issues related to intellectual property and copyright. As AI algorithms are capable of generating new works of art, it is unclear who holds the rights to these works, and whether they can be sold or licensed for commercial use.

Despite these challenges, the art world is embracing AI and using it to explore new frontiers in creativity and expression. As technology continues to evolve and become more sophisticated, the role of AI in the art world is only likely to grow. It will be interesting to see how the art world continues to adapt and respond to these new developments in the years to come.

AI is having a profound impact on the art world in the 21st century. Whether through the creation of new forms of art, the analysis and interpretation of existing works, or the display and presentation of art to the public, AI is changing the way we think about creativity and art. While there are challenges and concerns to be addressed, the art world is embracing AI and using it to explore new frontiers in artistic expression. As AI continues to evolve, it will be exciting to see how the art world continues to adapt and respond to these developments.
