Remember that viral BuzzFeed post about a dress from back in the 2010s‚ the one that asked people to simply vote on what color they thought the dress was‚ and it ended up breaking the internet? Get ready for a lot more of that‚ thanks to the era of generative AI -- specifically‚ because of the rapidly advancing ability for computers to generate hyper-realistic photos (and videos‚ for that matter) from simple text prompts. One of those dress-style debates is actually unfolding right now on Reddit‚ where a user a few days ago uploaded two images -- both of them depicting a young woman laying outside in a field on a sunny day. You can probably guess the parameters of this debate: One image is real‚ and one is AI-generated. Which is which? For reference‚ here are both of them side-by-side: The images have sparked a raucous debate on Reddit‚ with commenters getting way down into the weeds -- arguing‚ for example‚ about everything from the notion that the flowers supposedly look more real in the first image (as if AI isn't powerful enough to create a realistic-looking flower) to the shadows not necessarily matching up correctly in the second image‚ along with some flowers and other detail that kind of looks like it's just haphazardly floating about the second girl. Writes one Redditor about the second image: "I think the flowers are too symmetrical there's be more broken and weird shaped and pointed away from the camera. Especially close to where she laid down‚ they would bend away more. There's some weird green blurry stuff in the foreground‚ it doesn't really convince me." I assume the OP just wanted to watch the world burn‚ because he's thus far decided to leave everyone hanging and remain silent as the fight unfolds over which one is an AI-created image (or whether‚ as some people are starting to suspect‚ both of them are). The only comment he's made since his original post‚ though‚ leads me to strongly suspect that he's messing with us and that both‚ in fact‚ are AI-generated images. Whatever the answer is‚ though‚ I'd go so far as to argue that it kind of matters less than what all this says about the increasing prevalence of AI. You can't know; that's what's so simultaneously breathtaking and ominous about generative AI. Seeing is no longer believing. And what's even more ominous is that we don't yet know the full implications of these advancements and how it all will shake out. Generative AI has dramatically lowered the bar to content creation‚ meaning that not only can someone create realistic-looking photos of a young woman that spark a fun debate on Reddit -- but hackers can also create realistic content of their own‚ as can people spreading misinformation during an election. We also haven't yet seen the full extent of what this technology will do to jobs‚ in terms of replacing human creators. And maybe we get to a point where AI is advanced enough that it creates its own AI system that surpasses our ability to control it. Long story short‚ the future is here. And about the only thing we can be sure of‚ for the moment‚ is that the generative AI genie is out of the bottle‚ and there's no putting it back in.

Today a cultural touchstone of the ‘70s‚ The Brady Bunch sailed into uncharted waters when it introduced America to two fully realized blended families unified as they were. Its future was uncertain and among the many doubters‚ Robert Reed fully believed The Brady Bunch would be canceled before four months were up. The Brady Bunch saw Reed as the patriarch of the family‚ Mike Brady‚ opposite the maternal Carol Brady‚ played by Florence Henderson. His TV son‚ Barry Williams‚ who played Greg Brady‚ chronicled Reed’s open skepticism towards ABC’s surprise cultural phenomenon in his memoir‚ Growing Up Brady‚ I Was a Teenage Greg. Here’s what Reed really thought. Robert Reed was sure ‘The Brady Bunch’ would be canceled quickly Growing Up Brady‚ I Was a Teenage Greg by Barry Williams / Amazon In his book‚ Williams directly cites Reed and his surety that The Brady Bunch would soon be canceled not long after it began. “Sherwood and I met over dinner in his office‚ and basically‚ he fooled me‚” claimed Reed. RELATED: Whatever Happened To Robert Reed‚ Mike Brady On ‘The Brady Bunch?’ “When he discussed The Brady Bunch with me‚ it was all in sociological terms‚” he went on. “You know‚ there was ‘a need to discover these figures in American life‚’ and all about ‘families put asunder‚’ and blah blah blah‚ and how he’d gotten the idea for doing a show about putting two of these families together‚ and that it would be in a general comic context‚ but that it would also ‘represent American life to American people.’ So I thought‚ ‘Well‚ gee‚ that sounds pretty good to me.’” Jump ahead to Reed reading the script for episode one‚ and‚ “I couldn’t believe what I was reading! I mean‚ it’s Gilligan all over again‚ with just as much insanity‚ and I quickly said‚ ‘NO!’” There was some precedent for doubting ‘The Brady Bunch’ would stick the landing Robert Reed was sure The Brady Bunch would get canceled after 13 weeks / Everett Collection Reed was convinced to stick around long enough to ease fully into the role of Mike Brady‚ but the uncertainty lingered. “My private feeling was that it’ll never get off the ground — take the money and go‚” he admitted. “So we did the pilot‚ and of course it was terrible‚ so I was absolutely stunned when it got picked up‚” he added‚ according to Williams. “And even then‚ I thought‚ ‘It can’t last more than thirteen weeks.’ And it went on forever‚ which shows you what I know.” The Brady Bunch sailed into uncharted territory / Everett Collection Besides his disdain for some of the episodic plot points‚ there was also the issue of The Brady Bunch being practically unprecedented. This was still a time of major firsts happening on TV‚ from Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz presenting America to the first mixed-race couple – with caveats – on TV‚ to‚ then‚ The Brady Bunch starring a blended family. As television producer Sherwood Schwartz noted‚ “Television was loaded with happily married couples‚ and single widows and widowers‚ but there wasn’t any show that revolved around the marital amalgamation of two families.” Today‚ it feels like a totally safe setup. But that’s exactly because of the new ground The Brady Bunch dared to tread on.
