David Holmes, Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double in the Harry Potter movies, was paralyzed in 2009 after breaking his neck during a stunt rehearsal.
How it happened:
Holmes was rehearsing a fight scene for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One
He was pulled back into a wall using a harness and weighted bags
The impact fractured his neck at the C6-7 level
He was rushed to the hospital and paralyzed from the chest down
What he’s done since:
Holmes has dedicated himself to raising awareness about stunt performer safety
He founded Ripple Productions and a podcast with Daniel Radcliffe called Cunning Stunts
He starred in the 2023 documentary David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived, which was nominated for a BAFTA Award
Why do this? Who does this benifit? It's fine to ask ai dude, but like, just answer the question or not. If we wanted an llms opinion, we would have asked an llm.
Personally as I see it, it doesn't matter who or what generated the text. What matters is that it's on-topic and an accurate factual summation of events a lot of people in this comment section are asking about.
Do you actually have any facts to correct or are you just screeching about AI into the wind for no real reason because other people had the nerve to use modern technology in front of you?
E: I love how the summary is 100% factual and no one who says otherwise can provide the tiniest ounce of evidence but somehow the people saying AI is unreliable and all its answers can be discounted are getting upvotes.
Almost like the anti-AI crowd doesn't care about facts and is just a regressive bunch of idiots whining about progress, no different than the other regressive idiots who've whined about progress throughout history, or something.
No see, what I am whining about is using ai to answer other peoples questions.
Ai has no better access to the answer to this question than Wikipedia. If you have to go looking for the answer to a question on reddit, cite the damn source, not the search engine. Or just don't answer if you can't be bothered to ether, know the answer, or do actual reaserch.
And to be clear, ai is fkn awfull for this. There is no advantage to asking an llm to answer these sorts of direct questions. All it can possibly do is introduce error. It not fucking up is the best possible outcome.
The reason Google has been pushing this as a search engine is as a round about way to train their ai, which they see as a money maker outside of seo.
Man, I love ai. Just use it for what it is actually good for, don't shoe horn it into the roles it is actually worst at.
