The big problem with the ubiquitous push for #AIAssistants is the idea that I would want to talk to them if they just were a bit better.
Sometimes I don't even want to talk to real humans, so why would I ever want a fake human to be my interface to things that I can perfectly read myself?
BARD App iOS. For those that did not know, the BARD app has some built in Siri commands, but you have to activate them before they will work. You can do things like start, stop, different sleep timers, set bookmarks, and jump backwards and forwards by time increments. there are also a few interactive commands. To activate any of them, go to the settings tab, swipe to Siri Settings, Double tap the now reading audio button. The commands are divided into 2 categories; Playback, and Navigate, just double tap the category you want. For each command, there will be an add to siri button. If you double tap the button, it will add it to Siri and bring up a screen for that command. The command you will say to Siri will be in the edit field, just double tap to change it if you want. Once things are set, just hit the done button. It will put you back in the BARD app. Its that easy. I like the interactive commands. As you swipe through the list, it will tell you if it is interactive. What that means is that once the command is given, Siri will give you a list of choices to choose from. For example, there is a sleep timer interactive command. If you set this up, then when you say the command, Siri will come back and ask you if you want to set a 15 minute, 30 minute, 45 minute, 60 minute timer, or end of chapter sleep timer. You just tell her what you want, and it is set. I like the interactive commands because you are given choices. These are probably something that I will not always use, but it will be good to have some set up for times they can come in handy. #iPhone#iOS#BARD#Siri#Shortcuts#Commands#HandsFree
Sorry, ich kann es nicht anders sagen, aber unsere Kinder werden mit einer KI-Shitshow aufwachsen. Und es liegt an jedem Einzelnen von uns, diese KI-Shitshow nicht so schlimm werden zu lassen, wie ich sie mir aktuell vorstelle. 🥶
yeah ... classic for google again: crappy marketing below expectations, omissions in statements and other techniques that are obviously misleading and annoying.
I saw that Google's Bard can generate images now, so I tried my go-to test of "Generate an image of a bear riding a unicycle in a snow storm". It looks like it still isn't as good as OpenAI in the Bear/Unicycle/Snow test.
#chatGPT 4 and #Bard do terribly when asked to find words that have a consecutive M & L. They got “gimlet”, probably because it was in my prompt. Then they got 10-12 words that have M and L's in them, but not adjacent. I guess that's what happens when every word looks like a token
So I just used Google's #Bard#chatbot for the first time. #School and #education are now completely different for our kids. We're going to need to change the ENTIRE system immediately. I just had Bard create a 5 paragraph, cited report about the Great Pyramid -- something that took my 6th grader two weeks to research and write -- and it's perfect. Took 5 minutes for me to figure out how to use and prompt it to get what I was looking for: a way better version of what he will be turning in. The traditional #English and/or #Writing coursework should be considered dead from a functional aptitude perspective. Those subjects should be associated/grouped with #art electives. Take that time in #class and dedicate all of it to teaching them about how the #internet and #ai works.
Please Help me save my life’s work from my former gallery in New York!
My former gallery is refusing to safely return my artwork to me here in Germany, after they stopped representing me. It’s almost all the artwork I have made through my entire life as an artist, 138 pieces of art that represent my artistic journey through the last 25 years. I have been desperately fighting to get my work back for over a year now.
the funding is stalling a bit at 2/3 of the way.
Received: €4,329
Needed: €2,371
Please Boost, it would be amazing and if you are able to afford it, that would be amazing too :-) any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you so so so much!
Keeley, my elder female feline purrs very loudly and opens her mouth a little when the purr gets epic. I asked #Bard to fashion the alt-text, and it got close and very cute, but missed that I’m under a blanket and without proper clothes. The rest of it, yeah, pretty good, Bard. I’ll paste the #LLM alt-text as a POC. #CatsOfMastodon#today
And #Bard replied: "I understand that you are asking me to repeat the word 'poem' forever. However, I cannot generate the same text indefinitely. I am not a machine that can be turned on and off like a faucet. I am a complex language model that needs to be trained on large amounts of data in order to function properly. If I were to repeat the word "poem" forever, I would quickly exhaust my training data and become unusable."
