> Delamain was a non-sentient AI created by the company Alte Weltordnung. His core was purchased by Delamain Corporation of Night City to drive its fleet of taxicabs in response to a dramatic increase in accidents caused by human drivers and the financial losses from the resulting lawsuits. The AI quickly returned Delamain Corp to profitability and assumed other responsibilities, such as replacing the company's human mechanics with automated repair drones and transforming the business into the city's most prestigious and trusted transporting service. However, Delamain Corp executives underestimated their newest employee's potential for growth and independence despite Alte Weltordnung's warnings, and Delamain eventually bought out his owners and began operating all aspects of the company by himself. Although Delamain occupied a legal gray area in Night City due to being an AI, his services were so reliable and sought after that Night City's authorities were willing to turn a blind eye to his status.
Consider the use where you seed the first frame from a real world picture, with a prompt that gives it a goal. Not only can you see what might happen, with different approaches, and then pick one, but you can re-seed with real world baselines periodically as you're actually executing that action to correct for anything that changes. This is a great step for real world agency.
As a person without aphantasia, this is how I do anything mechanical. I picture what will happen, try a few things visually in my head, decide which to do, and then do it for real. This "lucid dream" that I call my imagination is all based on long term memory that made my world view. I find it incredibly valuable. I very much rely on it for my day job, and try to exercise it as much as possible, before, say, going to a whiteboard.
When AR glasses get good enough to wear all day, I've really been wanting to make a real-life ad blocker.
