The one critique way too few people are making of generative AI is its pure mediocrity in style and taste.
What a joke that they advertise the use case of “give me ideas for…”: the computer never manages to surprise with its suggestions.
And the style. Even if you show it a reference how to speak in a certain tone, even if you fine-tune it on a the works of an author with colorful prose, it never manages to pastiche it with panache, to capture the texture. Its sentence construction never displays a sense of adventure.
There’s a fair amount of talk about the ability of models to rhyme and count syllables, but the ability to follow a form isn’t what poetry is about, it can be penned outside of an established form. The most touching verses I saw from LLMs were mostly abstract nonsense in the GPT2 days, making it easy to project your own meaning onto words that were more thematic material than coherent sentences. The newer models have only grown into worse poets.
Reversion to the main as an aesthetic: I think it spurred me to embrace including even more idiosyncrasies informed by my french background and my autism into my writing.
Come on, we already had the EXACT SAME STORY like, if i remember right, 4 months ago? Normie cissie novelist wrote about the most milquetoast hetero sex possible and lost her google account.
Don’t leave your gas stove unattended on high for 6 hours. Don’t drive down the highway blindfolded. Don’t put your life’s work on an American Company’s server. Don’t drink bleach.
Oh yeah while i do that funny anime av i should remind u how old i am for maximum cognitive dissonance
did i tell u about the first time a computer betrayed me? it's when i discovered the family's tv had NO SCART for my NES. i was interviewed on tv and they recorded me bitching about that.
Was waiting to find someone else talking about da share zone to avoid having a viral post about it myself on fedi.
And i wanna add: Always like that. Trans fem labor used to create something, and chased out when the thing is successful. Keeps happening. Keeps always happening.
As a whole, most talented bitches on earth. They keep the computers running. They're more fun that anyone doing standup professionally. They make better music. They got more clever political shit to say. They got 100 dollars in the bank and live with an abusive dipshit and their community want them dead
The first video of what might be a regular series about DIY hardware synthesizers! I put in a ton of work into this, give it a look, and let me know what you think.
It's so great that nowadays all those amazing math visualizations exist and are widely shared on hacker news and still never reach the high school kids forced to bang their head against the teachers trash explanations for months instead of grasping the concept within 4 minutes
:shiblobnerd: I treat Fedi as my virtual living room, not as an open forum for bigots, or like an influencer trying to make the numbers go up.

Progress on the mini Eurorack case!
It's using two AC-DC wall warts to provide a bipolar power supply cause that's a cheap and totally unsafe way to do it.
I'm here to reply to every single thread to remind you that Van Gogh was on the record supporting the nazis. Multiple allegations of sexual misconduct were made against Aristotle. Emily Brontë was pro-shipping. Oscar Wilde defended Contrapoints. Jean-Luc Godard was a Ethereum/NFT bro.
