      The bullshit "image enhancement" button that they have in shows like CSI is finally leaving the realm of science fiction and entering reality, where it can be revealed that "enhancing" an image from data you don't have is just a word for "making shit up"https://twitter.com/nickstenning/status/1274374729101651968?s=20 …

      I can't get over how perfect this is. If you set out to design an easy-to-understand example of how machine learning models encode racial bias, I don't think you could do better. https://twitter.com/Chicken3gg/status/1274314622447820801 …

      Taking an extremely low-res image and "sharpening the details" is writing fiction It's just as fake as if you have a human artist draw the picture or you have a computer do it They're going to present the computer doing it to juries as though it's objective info and it's not

      When the human does it, it's because an artist has a lot of experience with faces and knows what they look like, and can figure out what face they can make based on the pixels that looks convincing to them A computer is doing the same thing

          You can say the computer's "experience" based on "training data" is more objective and unbiased than the artist's, but it isn't The computer is just another tool used by a human or group of humans with as much bias as any of the rest of us

          This is the worst thing about how computers and the concept of "Big Data" can be used for "opinion laundering" Like instead of just telling you "This is my opinion based on what I think" I use an expensive machine to dress up my opinion and turn it into a fact

          Jury trials have actually been strongly affected by an expert witness showing a "computer simulation" of what they think happened rather than just giving a verbal description Even though the "simulation" is just paying someone to animate the verbal description

          How does the "simulation" actually add information? The computer wasn't there, the computer didn't magically scan the crime scene and build a 3D model of it All the data that went into the model just came from shit people said in the report in the first place

          And we've turned the computer into this Oracle at Delphi where we act like it's so smart it can create a realistic physics model based on shit from a police report we put into it to *prove* that a murder did or did not happen a certain way It's really disturbing

          Like the vast majority of this Big Data stuff people try to sell you is a human analyst who already has their own opinion about a social phenomenon or whatever and then carefully looks for datasets and algorithms for interpreting them that sound like they match what they think

          The idea that a computer is at all capable of answering a question like "How do Generation Z youths feel about Obama's legacy" is obscene, it's ridiculous But people act like doing a term search on Instagram comments or something can "approximate" this somehow
