🤖 Tom Hanks Dislikes AI, Here's Why

What's up? You're reading Inclined AI. We’re 99% sure that ChatGPT came up with the idea for “The Golden Bachelor.”

Here's who’s getting the rose today:

• Tom Hanks objects to an AI scam

Artificial Intelligence is putting words in Tom Hanks' mouth.

Hollywood's golden boy recently waved a red flag on Instagram. 

Why? Some AI mischief-makers used his visage to endorse a dental plan. Classic Tom! Always with a toothy grin and a twinkle in his eye, but apparently not in love with this digital doppelgänger.

He wrote, “BEWARE!! There’s a video out there promoting some dental plan with an AI version of me. I have nothing to do with it.”

You'd think Hanks, who's no stranger to the charms of CGI (flashback to The Polar Express), would be game. 

He even did a digital Benjamin Button number in 'A Man Called Otto.' But no. This isn't just about an AI-fueled dental plan. It's bigger.

We're talking about Hollywood's tug-of-war with AI.

The writers saw it coming.

They inked a deal outlining AI's role in the industry. But actors? That’s a different reel.

They're still in a standoff. Imagine a future where Hanks, looking forever 32, delivers Oscar-worthy performances without ever stepping on set. 

Creepy? Innovative? Both? As Hanks said, it's not just an "artistic challenge, but it's also a legal one."

If the AI trend continues, young Hanks might be everywhere - fighting pirates, befriending volleyballs, and maybe even running dental ads.

Brace yourself, Hollywood; the AI battle has only just begun.

In the sprawling world of AI, where data reigns supreme, a quiet storm brews on China's shores.

Their big secret isn't a cutting-edge algorithm but rather an army of students turned data annotators. 

Instead of diving into lines of code, they're stuck playing an endless "I Spy" game with mundane images and audio files.

Meet Lucy.

Dreaming of coding magic, she signed up for an internship only to spend days differentiating between trees and pedestrians.

The kicker? She earns just about enough for her daily cappuccino. Many students, lured by the siren song of a booming AI industry, face a similar fate.

Instead of innovating, these students are stuck in tech’s backroom, tediously labeling data for a sub-minimum wage.

It’s like promising someone a role in the next Marvel blockbuster, then handing them a mop for the studio floors. As one grad aptly put it: “You learn more by fixing cars than by drawing boxes.”

As AI charges forward, we must ask: at what cost?

Because, in this sprint for innovation, the hopes and dreams of young tech enthusiasts shouldn’t be left in the dust.
