Yes, but the the same could be said about the post you're replying to. The clarification is useful and more people need to be aware that LLMs are just next word guessing machines and the only AI in them is the guessing including a system prompt that tilts the guessing towards what it thinks an AI output would be. The "you"s in the post don't need to be taken personally.

    I guess the odd thing is, if the orange portal can be moved, the pressure from the brick wall would be directed at the attachment point of the orange portal, otherwise why wouldn't the orange portal keep moving, since it is not "touching" anything?

    If the blue portal was deep under water, the pressure would force the water out the orange portal.

    The problem with this analogy is that both sides of the window are at the same point in space so there is no pressure differential. What if the blue portal was at the bottom of the Mariana's Trench? What force displaces the water to place the cube on the other side?

    DRM has this same problem that I was referring to. Because Blu-ray players need to have a secret key to decode movies, attackers have been able to extract the keys. Same with DRM streaming 4K from video streaming sites like Netflix to phones. Attackers have rooted phones and extracted keys so that there is now software to download from Netflix in full 4K. I don't know of a DRM that hasn't been cracked.

    What I meant with my second paragraph is that a government could secretly compel a respected camera company to hand over the keys. Then that government could deep fake photos to provide justification for actions and the photos would appear genuine due to the keys signing them.

    How can a camera have access to the signing key and prevent an attacker gaining access to that key?

    Also, this would give camera companies (and any entity with leverage over the camera company, including their government) the power to decide what images are 'true' in the public's eye. Companies that control the keys would need to be good at securing the keys.

    Even as a tool it lacks predictability / reproducability. If I give instructions to download a paint program, start a new canvas of 1920x1080 and use the gradient tool to go from red to green, you're going to get the same result every time. If I instead told a class of students to ask an AI to generate a red to green gradient on a 1920x1080 canvas, the results would not be consistent.

    I use AI, but it is a tool with flaws.
