using ai to write essays is bad for the obvious anti-gen ai reasons, but it's also awful because it diminishes your ability to write essays and other reports. not to sound boring or whatever, but being able to write reports/essays is such an important skill that you'll use throughout your life and careers. while i don't subscribe to the 'you'll use pythagoras all your life' mentality, some skills, especially essay and similar writing skills, are absolutely imperative irl.

they gave Mitch a cool shield in one scene in one episode and i decided to make an entire AU around Mitch becoming the tankiest tank to ever tank despite his shield not even working in that scene

Stop giving ChatGPT so much credit.

It's not amazing, it's not horrible, it's literally just a tool.

It has some uses where it's good, it has some uses where it's bad.

The whole thing about it hurting your ability to think depends on how you use it. Does TikTok not shorten your attention spam? Do computers not make you go out to the sun less? Did they not claim TV ruins your eyesight? Did they not claim using a calculator will make you dumb?

I had to write a ton of regex this week for a monitoring dashboard I was building and you can be sure as fuck I used ChatGPT for that, and I actually started understanding how regex works and started needing it less (even though regex is still evil). Because I also took the time to understand why it worked, and didn't just blindly copy-pasted. I did not use ChatGPT to write any other part of the project, because I didn't need a tool to generate the descriptions for the graphs, or the layout, or the metrics. But if I didn't use it for the regex I would have done maybe a third of the work I managed to do this week, and for what?

Should you use it to write whole stories, essays, etc? No, I don't think you should. That's not what the tool is for.

But if you're writing a fanfic and you want some cool CSS to make the text shake for some part of it? Yeah you could generate it using chatGPT.

And even if someone uses it to generate a story or an essay, they can do it in a way that still challenges their thinking. They can use it to generate points to work from as a base. They can use it for a first draft and then rewrite it. They can ask for a metaphor and work from there.

And if they don't? That's on them. A nurse is not going to pass medical school only using chatGPT, there are practical exams they'll need to pass. And how is that different from normal cheating? You think people didn't cheat before ChatGPT? You think there aren't tools that help you find WHO is cheating with ChatGPT? It's actually easier to spot than normal cheating.

Y'all are making such a fuss about it. Don't like? Don't use it. But don't shame people who do. If you don't want to see AI generated stories on AO3, stop shaming people who post them so they start tagging them properly so you could filter them out, or know not to click. Have an issue with people who cheat using chatGPT, because it doesn't engage the brain? Show them the correct ways to use the tool to actually engage their brain. Encourage them to try and understand the logic behind the results they get.

And maybe focus about targeting the companies behind the GenAI instead of the users, to make the tool less harmful for the environment and to stop using stolen data to train it? Or, you know, develop an alternative that only uses data that was given with informed consent and that the creators were compensated for?

realizing that my parents rely on chatgpt sm is killing me inside. I do not have the energy to talk about the ethics of using it every hour.

[w1lmutt]

Most haunting moment of a design conference I went to last week was when the ai enthusiast was talking about the future potential usages of ai. "In the future we might go to a restaurant with friends where we need to split the bill, and you can tell the ai to generate an app that does that for you" HELLO????????????? LEARN TO DIVIDE????????????????????

More video tinkering with Vidu 1.5

Vidu hit 1.5 this morning for testing, which I get access to as part of the artist's program. While making raw material for a "Big Professor" project-

(Shown here to establish a 1.0 baseline)

-I nuked most of my credits, I've still got enough to try out the new features and give you all a rundown of them.

First major change is resolution options. Fast, 720, or 1080. Shown here is my first attempt at a 1080 gen, using the same prompt as above. While most vids in this post will be gifs for ease of use, this one is an MP4 to provide full evaluation.

Ignore the odd playback speed, since that's something you'd fix in post. The gif at the start was one of my most stable renderings of Big Professor under v1. Got some minor wonk in the details, little distortion around the prof's claw and the kid in the first half second, but otherwise well above the average of the 1.0 versions I've been working with, especially the clarity on the button text.

The second one is a re-run of the same prompt, minus some detail issues with one shin, the level of consistency is promising.

720 can go up to 8 seconds, 1080 tops off at 4. At present, 1.5 does not have an upscale function. If you're not tinkering to test out prompts I'd generally recommend 1080, even for lower-res projects, for the purposes of being able to crop and/pan.

For most of these, assume I'm using either 720 or 1080 gens.

Multi-Subject Reference-to-Video

THIS is the big winner of the setup. Previously, ref-to-video only could handle a single referenced subject image. The current setup now allows you to reference up to three per generation.

Those can be characters, props, or settings, and it can be used for morphing effects. This is good, because first-frame-last-frame is more finnicky than reference-to-video. The obvious use is to create multi-character scenes, and it works well for that:

But it has other uses. For example, here I used:

And while this one was reversed and trimmed, it displays the potential for using the feature for transformation sequences. The backgrounds are especially helpful, since Vidu's internally-generated toon backgrounds are very modern and digital-painting-looking (the gif of Mrs. Nice turning back and forth into Mrs. Nautilus at the top of the section didn't use a background image reference) and as always, I like it retro.

To that point, using the more comic-booky Mrs. Nice control drawing didn't work near as well as the more period-accurate one:

And while I'll personally be cutting out frames to produce a more accurate 1980s TV animation look, the raw fluidity is bound to appeal to the majority of users, and minor issues like the color of Mrs. Nice's blouse changing mid-transformation are easy enough to fix manually (though if a flaw looks enough like a traditional animation screwup, I might just leave it in)

And another fun feature? Movement amplitude control.

In my last post about it, I said Vidu likes to move, and if you need a more subtle shot, like this one, setting the movement amplitude control to small is your move. (Funny how the robot interpreted the book binding as a mouth.) If something's too static you can up the movement as well, but I haven't had that problem much.

In terms of generation quality, 1.5 is a good but not huge leap up from 1.0. at least in terms of what I've made so far. Aesthetics are very similar, but issues of tearing, distortion, and wonky action are lessened.

And it's way better at understanding triceratops, so thumbs up there.

This is one of my wonk-tests, but man, check that walk cycle. This is why the movement controls are important, sometimes when set to auto a dialog scene becomes a weird chase.

Now, in terms of generation costs (and this can always change), 1.5 seems more expensive but in the end it works out more or less the same.

A 1.0 quality 8-second gen upscaled to max res would be 24 points (16 for the quality 8-seconds, 8 for the upscale), and an 8-second 720 render is also 24 points (as is a 4-second 1080).

Yeah, you don't want to use "Fast" in most cases. While both the 720 and fast versions here both have flaws (Bruce's disappearing popcorn bucket, etc), the 720 res version is substantially more on-model for both characters.

To close out, a bit of fun wonk. To try out the effect, I prompted using a "Specialist Matt Trakker" G.I.Joe/M.A.S.K. crossover figure as a character reference, to see if it could translate a character from toy to live action. And it can-

Though it is very, very literal.

The combination of live action-esq person and accurate G.I.Joe joints is harrowing, but there's potential there for some wild variants on the Toy Story/A Christmas Toy/'Wynona's Big Brown Beaver'-Music-Video-by-Primus concept.

And oh yeah AI could NEVER replicate the soul of a Maria text post

[uncontrol-freak]

art is getting scrapped for ai fic is getting scrapped for ai lmk if you want a physical anthology of my work delivered to you by ravens at the end of every year

[kaiasky]

is that actually poor reading comprehension? or is somebody just disagreeing and you've learned that if you respond with "lol my enemies can't even read" then ur ingroup likes you?

[anistarrose]

Trying to bully my brother out of using AI for math homework when there's at least, like, perfectly good online calculators that he could use instead if he wanted a cheap but reliable way out, but then I remembered he went to a career fair last year where he got told by A Person With A Job In The Industry that he should be using ChatGPT to write more code, so like. I think I might not be able to convince him on this one, and also might just stop trusting any technology designed since 2023 to do anything correctly or safely ever

An intern (MEDICAL intern) I worked with today uses ChatGPT instead of the freaking CALCULATOR . Because "I don't like the calculator app" BRO.

I had to scold and assert my dominance as a senior and explain how much water is used and environmental concerns to get him to stop

[rouge-fauna]

Am I the only one wondering why someone would use ChatGPT as a calculator instead of using an actual calculator for a simple math problem. Like do you need to borrow one of my 8 calculators? Or maybe just use the one on Google or on the phone in your pocket. Like are we really so far gone that not only can we not do simple math in our head, but we can’t even push some buttons and need to ask ai instead…

[epiaphany]

why did my teacher just tell us to use chat gpt to find out the percentages we needed of some body measurements that we just took. chat gpt. for percentages. what

Do your homework...

Or your number's up.
