Can AI Preserve Your Most Precious Memories? | Pau Aleikum Garcia | TED
“Memories are the architects of our identity,” says technologist Pau Aleikum Garcia, but they’re not permanent. Photos can be lost amid political unrest or natural disaster, while illnesses like Alzhemier’s can rob people of their past. He puts forward a novel solution — “synthetic memories,” or dreamlike visualizations of long-gone moments created through generative AI…

The answer is yes. Anything a mind can do, AI will be able to replicate with enough time

Memories that can effectively be turned into words or pictures, yes, but what about memories of smell and feel. Wouldn’t the AI need to have some way of sensing these things like we do, and storing and accessing them with the same qualities as perceived or experienced by a person?

We have photos and books and already existing storage mediums. LLMs are not helpful for this and cause massive environmental damage. Pass.

The intersection of AI and memory preservation opens up so many possibilities. It’s amazing to see how technology can help individuals reconnect with lost moments, especially for those affected by cognitive decline.

Esto solo funciona si tienes imagenes previas de alguien, menos no podria ya que su memoria al no conocerlos inconscientemente no despertara ningun recuerdo.

If AI can’t preserve your precious memories, a diary and photo album certainly can. Is this really a problem for AI to solve? And we live in a culture where people take pictures of every damn meal they eat, and are unlikely to ever look back at those pics ever again. Showing them to friends is worse than the 70’s when people showed off their wallet pics of the wife and children. The idea that AI would be good at this will be so much worse than that dreadful wallet draw.

No, no it can’t. The problem is that the more you allow AI to tamper with photos the more it can be used for ill – for example to plant potentially dangerous memories that did not happen. The human memory is already known to be fallible even before you take into account things like Alzhemier’s. Also the therapy they are talking about, which they’re wanting to inject AI into – it already exists without AI. They were ALREADY doing it. They’re trying to inject a novelty into it to prove it’s ‘better’ than the current solution, but the problem is novelty only provides limited benefit, like a short term energy boost. The existing therapy already does this too.
“We have no tools that can help us understand a time that was not ours.” Yes we do, it’s called ART. The reason why you’re dismissing art is because art takes time to make. You want a convenient instant cure that does away with the need for true human imagination.
These people are digging around to try to find some magic thing that Generative AI can do really well that proves it has value. And I wish they’d stop, because not only is the energy it consumes by and large way over anything else, it’s also just proof that these developers are either extremely ignorant of its misuse, OR that the misuse they refuse to address is the actual purpose of what they’re developing. Tech developers should get back to developing technology to help us with menial tasks instead of doing screwed up things like trying to replace our brains and trying to put creative people out of jobs.
