Pretty amazing results. It would be fun to work as a traveling 3D capture artist, going to novel locations and scanning assets to use in fantasy worlds.

When I read this, I immediately thought of Nikon’s Natural Intelligence campaign[1]. This comment was on point with their thinking. Akin to how being an “influencer” is now a legitimate profession. I can’t wait to see how people get incredibly creative to make a living using new AI tech. 1.

Or rather - scanning assets in phantasy worlds and using the results for bot development. A bot, looking at the screen and using a Bluetooth keyboard for commands would be much less detectable.

The bar for bot development will surely drop further and further, but until efforts towards keeping The Data away from Mean Person are strengthened then the easiest way forward is through data mining.
