Halosheep,

Man, anti-“ai” folks are so uppity. Get over yourself, internet poster.

Halosheep,

Sorry man, my job is not under threat by ai. The human element to what I do currently can’t be replaced. I certainly use it to help me get my job done faster though.

The threat to “the arts” is not real. Corporate, soulless art might be a less lucrative field for an artist in the future due to image generation capabilities, which is definitely an unfortunate consequence of its development, but real art still has a human value that can’t be replaced by ai. That said, I’d consider image generation to be just another tool of creative expression. Ask 10 people in a room to come up with an image with any of the image generators and you’ll see vastly different levels of creativity in their prompts. The average internet hate train is just targeting this change this time around. It’s exhausting seeing internet posters see something changing and decide to target that one thing until they get bored because their manufactured rage doesn’t actually produce anything.

Halosheep,

Ai generated journalism just made shitty journalism easier. The same shitty “top 10 whatever” sites were posting a similar level of pointless drivel 10 years ago but now they can produce more of them, I guess?

As someone with very limited artistic skill, I think your opinion of AI art is gatekeeping. Sorry not everyone can pick up a pencil and put down the exact image they want to see. For me, it’s just another tool of creativity that also happens to lowers the barrier to entry. You’ll find very different ability in producing specific results among users, too. I’ve gotten a bunch of people at work to join me in coming up with prompts and it’s fascinating to see how different people come up with different ideas, and how some definitely understand how to work with image generators better than others.

Not sure what you mean by shitty answers. Ever asked a human the answer to something? They often get things wrong too. I’ve definitely googled something many times only to find misinformation and bad results. This isn’t exclusive to LLMs.

I agree with your last statement though. It’s a great tool that has only been broadly publically available in its current form for less than a few years now. Certainly there’s a long way to go. I just think all the doomers in these comment chains are simultaneously not giving its current capabilities enough credit, but also vastly overestimating the impacts AI generation will have societally.

Halosheep,

With the rise of ebay thrift resalers, I feel like all the charity/thrift stores around me price rather aggressively.

Halosheep,

Damn is blahaj also just another ml and lemmygrad?

Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn (techcrunch.com)

A feature Google demoed at its I/O confab yesterday, using its generative AI technology to scan voice calls in real time for conversational patterns associated with financial scams, has sent a collective shiver down the spines of privacy and security experts who are warning the feature represents the thin end of the wedge. They...

Halosheep,

Yes, the phrase comes from turning a dial to a higher value. Think, for example, of a guitar amplifier. You could “dial up” the volume, meaning you are increasing the volume.

Dial up internet refers to a different kind of dialing.

Halosheep,

Is this digital vs physical as in video games vs tabletop? Or is it “digital copy” vs “physical installation media”?

Halosheep,

Good ol lemmy ai discussions, featuring:

  • that one guy that takes the confirmation bias too far!
  • might say things like "wow and this is going to take our jobs?"
  • Asking an llm to do things it’s particularly bad at and being surprised that it isn’t good at it
  • cherry picked results
  • a bunch of angry nerds

I swear lemmy is somehow simultaneously a bunch of very smart, tech inclined people but also a bunch of nerds who close their eyes and cover their ears while screeching nonsense the moment something they don’t like comes about.

Are you all just like, 15-18? Am I just too old?

Halosheep,

Well, I was referring generically to the few hundred other similar posts I’ve seen on lemmy. Did OpenAI say that chatGPT is particularly good at identifying when the user is trying to trick it? “solve this puzzle” would imply there is a puzzle to be solved, but there clearly isn’t.

But you’re right, I don’t even care if people make fun gpt, it’s funny when it gets things wrong. I just think that lemmy users will be like “see this thing is stupid, it can’t answer this simple question!”, when you can ask it, in plain human language, to do some things that an average user would find really difficult.

Halosheep,

My guy this lady was driving in a bus lane at a school, not armed robbery. What the fuck.

Halosheep,

GIMP sucks ass though

Halosheep,

Since when? Everything it does is unintuitive and clunky, not to mention slow.

Halosheep,

The legislation will also be overturned right?

… Right?

Halosheep, (edited )

Hey man, mailing it to the corporate HQ just means that some hourly mailman and an hourly employee at the HQ now have to deal with it.

It’s not like some exec will ever even know about that happening.

Halosheep,

Kind of ironic that you’re complaining about the evolution of language on a post about the evolution of language.

Halosheep,

Capital interests might have something to say about it in the US. No way they’re letting the government allow those in.

Halosheep,

When did lemmy redefine conservatism as liberalism? Am I in some reverse world?

Halosheep,

Pretty sure Amazon is contracting outside delivery drivers and that would be the profile for the driver with that service. You sometimes see people in plain clothes and a regular car delivering packages here.

Halosheep,

I’ve had some really cool image ideas I would have never been able to create myself, so take your artist elitism and shove it.

Halosheep,

If I know anything about lemmy users, it’s that they’re goddamn idiots and can never tell if something is a joke.

Halosheep,

It’s a meme, like 99% of memes are low effort, stolen content. I would argue that someone taking the time to make an image that relates to the joke, even if it’s ai generated, is pretty high effort comparatively.

Also I think your opinion is pretty lame.

Halosheep,

I work for a nonprofit Healthcare system, unfortunately the companies we buy our materials from are definitely for profit, as are the insurance companies that do their damnest to not spend their money.

It’s a rotton system.

Halosheep,

Ooh wow you got me sheesh goddamn I’m hurtin
