#Benefits of Using AI

[sophiebaybey]

Not to preach to the choir but I wonder if people generally realize that AI models like ChatGPT aren't, like, sifting through documented information when you ask it particular questions. If you ask it a question, it's not sifting through relevant documentation to find your answer, it is using an intensely inefficient method of guesswork that has just gone through so many repeated cycles that it usually, sometimes, can say the right thing when prompted. It is effectively a program that simulates monkeys on a typewriter at a mass scale until it finds sets of words that the user says "yes, that's right" to enough times. I feel like if it was explained in this less flattering way to investors it wouldn't be nearly as funded as it is lmao. It is objectively an extremely impressive technology given what it has managed to accomplish with such a roundabout and brain-dead method of getting there, but it's also a roundabout, brain-dead method of getting there. It is inefficient, pure and simple.

I’ve been possessed. If anyone wants to know where Edgeworth is, he’s been watching kamen yaiba with the detective boys for 4 hours

i wish people would stop arguing and saying "AI art isn't real art" and instead focus on the actual issue, which is that it's currently based on wide-scale art theft and unethically built by using other people's work without their knowledge or consent. you can't define what "is and isn't" art, it's an abstract concept and a complete non-issue. the real issue is the stolen artwork it was built on!!

something I always ALWAYS do with digital art is to do so using a mode I like to call "Mobile Preview"

(it's not actually called this. all I did was make the built-in thumbnail preview of my art program huge. the cost to work space is worth it)

doing this allows you to see if anything you're actually working on is even visible on a mobile phone - which is what 70% of the users of this site access it with. I cannot even begin to tell you how much time this saves you. 🙏 save your wrists and life force, artists, I beg of u 🙏🙏🙏🙏

The ENNIES allowing AI generated content to be submitted for awards feels like such an easily avoided own-goal/shot in the foot that I’m now wondering what weird AI investor bro on their Board or with their sponsors was able to bully them into it.

communist generative ai boosters on this website truly like

[abortionado]

I really think it should be illegal for publicly available generative AI to create hyperrealistic photos/videos of children. Firstly, it's trained on images of real children, who inherently have not consented to their image being shared online, and secondly name a non-nefarious purpose that this technology would serve. How does anyone besides pedophiles benefit from the ability to generate an extremely realistic video of an infant

[aefensteorrra]

it feels so insulting when you have experience with building language models from scratch, not using libraries, defining functions literally just by implementing the maths behind it, to have using a certain generative LLM suggested to you to automate an aspect of your job when the reason you do it manually is because you appreciate the rigour and certainty behind doing it that way... like I know I understand generative AI better than anyone at my job who does not have a degree in computer science, meaning I understand why no matter how robust you think your prompts are it is never quite as robust as you think and you will have to painstakingly analyse the output anyway. so I will keep doing it myself

me, shoving a gun in ai's face with tears in my eyes: WHERE IS YOUR WHIMSY? HOW DARE YOU STEAL OUR AWE?

[unfriendlyamazon]

AI collates my internet search. AI writes my emails. AI writes my fanfiction. AI writes my texts. why think at all, when a half-written algorithm can do it for me

[reloaderror]

the kids looking at me like 🤨🤨🤨🤨 when i said if i knew a legal way to get out of paying income tax i would still pay

[queen-mabs-revenge]

I'm just saying maybe you shouldn't talk about the Luddites if you actually refuse to engage with their historical struggle and the reasons for it and instead just perpetuate the bourgeois propaganda about them and somehow act that's the materialist take. get fucking serious please.
