Is it a conspiracy? For months, YouTubers have been quietly griping that something looked off in their recent video uploads. Following a deeper analysis by a popular music channel, Google has now confirmed that it has been testing a feature that uses AI to artificially enhance videos. The company claims this is part of its effort to “provide the best video quality,” but it’s odd that it began doing so without notifying creators or offering any way to opt out of the experiment.

    Do words not matter anymore when it comes to ‘journalism?’

    I think the better question for you is if you think words don’t have real definitions, and do they? What do ‘secretly’ or ‘publicly’ really mean? Do they rely on explicit knowledge or just the ability to maybe figure it out on your own?

    They didn’t secretly do anything. This was publicly.

    So I can steal from you without telling you, then when you find out, I can claim it was public knowledge because you found out after the fact?

    If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t fucking know would we?

    Yeah, finding out about something that was done without your knowledge or consent beforehand isn’t doing it secretly if you find out about it later!

      It would be a lot like stealing from me while I’m looking directly at you and you don’t tell me we’re both on national television. That would be a way more accurate representation.
