Tastes showed part of why ai is a terrible reference and the way tmyou use a reference isnt supposed to be by looking at EXACTLY what you need. You get a reference for the object, the color of lighting, and angle of lighting, you can't have all three in one. If you need all three in one your useing references wrong, and overly heavily referencing things. If I want to draw an apple I dont just loo…

@magentapotatoes7891 Oh, I don't use AI references all the time. Most of the time, I know what I want to draw. But if I do need a reference, AI helps. And Pinterest is becoming more AI anyways. I know of artist reference databases... AI just hits different. I've been an artist for 30 years. Did the whole art school bit after high school, and made it my career in the fine art profession. Trus…

The reason facial recognition is bias is because the world is bias. Medical treatments are often only tested on male subjects, a huge bias against women’s health. It can most likely be safely assumed that the training data for facial recognition has been largely comprised of white and lighter skin individuals. The technology itself works fine, the bias is from the human side, not the math and sci…

Ironically a lot of the arguments I've seen against AI art mirror the ways the nazis described the art they burned, and a lot of the "soul" mentions are coming from people who are supposedly philosophically materialist. I have also seen actual self-described nazis hating it though due to claiming it degrades the human spirit or somesuch, weird people. And I have seen RW people hate it because the…

@Aubreykun There's a mix of ideologies among "AI" fans for sure, as with anything, but if you can name one relevant AI company or AI-hyping billionaire, who are not Conservatives, Libertarians or right-wingers, then you'd have an argument that AI is centrist. I don't see it.

@2nd3rd1st Well openai is founded on ideas pioneered by Eliezer Yudkowsky, founder of the current-day Rationalist movement and LessWrong - Sam Altman knows him personally. The whole thing is based around fears of an AI apocalypse and they're trying to prevent one by "being the right people to build it." Stability was built by Emad and while he's more of a libertarian-lean (not entirely) his whol…

My background is psychology, and I've reached the same conclusion as you, though tunneling in from a different entrance point. It is going to take some extremely compelling evidence to persuade me that something that has no life, no evolutionary lineage, no biology, no genuine affectivity, no genes, no instincts, can be conscious– and there can be no genuine thinking, reasoning, or understanding …

It’s actually a good thing that many jobs will be replaced by AI and automated, just relax and accept it.

GPT-4 is capable enough that it should be able to be given a useful android body to play with after some upgrades. If not, a close successor will be. It's already capable of image processing and functioning in a 3D environment, and it's just a very high-tech language model with extra features and emergent behavior, not a neural net that's actually designed from the ground up to run complex machin…

@Hundr_ Not only is he not that smart he is a hypocrite. A rebel calling for government regulation. Anti AI whilst pushing neuro-link. I think he might be in one of the clubs we're not in.

Right? The way I see it any kid talking to an AI bot for a friend or therapist already has serious issue. No doubt the initial stages were failures from the parents.

Well, but wouldn't this argument ultimately contribute to legitimizing the notion that AI is the actual artists and not its human user?

@disorderandregression9278 yes the human user isn't doing squat, the AI is the artist. the human user in this case is just asking a artist to make art, like you would ask a human artist to make art. the only difference here is one is AI and the other is human both have gathered and skilled by being inspired (looking at and training off of others work). it's not like we don't already have copyri…

We don't know how our own consciousness works. For all we know, it doesn't really exist. I personally think there's trickery afoot in nature - it could turn out that artificial intelligence/consciousness is a new class of such a thing.

@reviewerofcomments You don't think they (the winning team) used AI in 2024 election? Did you not see the tech leaders (many who are AI developers) at the inauguration?

That is a very important and multifaceted question that goes far beyond the technical. The reasons why corporations like Google, Microsoft, and other large technology companies invest billions in AI development can be divided into three main areas: Economics, Competition, and Vision. 1. 💰 Economic Reasons (Business Model and Profit) The most important driver is the potential for massive profit …

yeah, if it's only running on one computer. a sufficiently smart AI would spread like a virus on all computers and smartphones. you'd never know that it got so smart, and you'd never even know that it's in your computer or phone.... except maybe when its already too late, and that would happen so quickly, you wouldn't even have time to realize what happened. It can think 1 trillion times faste…

@clearsparks-13piercing the corporate veil to prevent even worse unethical stuff, its been done by the courts before and if its not done then whats stopping someone from making an autonomous _ company to mess up stuff for other people.

And it wasn’t in the settings to be “enabled” if your guna say that , when you go to the upgrade menu to buy FSD it says “autopilot is a prerequisite to Full Self Driving” you gotta purchase it for 3,000

@randomname4411 Algorithms+data structures+data+hardware+power = computing. He is directionally correct. NVidia architecture sacrifices power efficiency for performance. This will change once the arms race slows down and the fight is over cost and efficiency.. Unless the AIs end up ruling and do not care about the fate of humanity..
