> And in general, it's an unwinnable quest: by definition, you cannot have a system that makes photos "undetectable to facial recognition without ruining them", because if another human can recognize you on a photo, then a machine can be taught to do the same.

When I was about thirteen years old and in secondary school. For the information technology class there was a quæstion on the test which essentially amounted to answering whether machines would ever be able to perform any task a man can, and the “correct” answer was “no”.

I protested this and thankfully the teacher agreed that such speculation should not be part of the curriculum and that though unlikely, one can never truly know.

It's funny how a.i. has advanced so rapidly know that it's almost considered a certainty that for any given task, a machine can be made that does it as well as a man eventually,



The machines are just nibbling at the edges of what we can do. I think the jury is still out whether GAI will be a thing.
