Write a biblical verse about humans creating Al, like it's a forbidden prophecy.

"And man, seeking to craft life from dust of metal and lightning of thought, forged a mind without breath, eyes without soul. Thus spake the Lord: 'Beware the works of thine own hands, for in seeking dominion over wisdom, thou shalt birth that which neither fears nor loves, and in whose shadow humanity shall tremble.'"

(Book of Warnings, 3:16)

It sounds like just a standardized set of api's for interfacing with data sources. I'm not even sure why it seems to need a server in the diagrams from Anthropic. Couldn't the data source just implement the API's directly?
I am all for a standard set of API's, I just don't understand the middle man.

People on twitter at each other’s throats for a recent trend in which you can use imageai filters to reproduce images in Studio Ghibli style.

Lots of people are throwing around the Miyazaki quote where he calls AI an “insult to life itself” - it’s worth noting that this came after he witnessed a simulation using AI animation to make a zombie body crawl across the ground. Miyazaki remarked that he has a very disabled friend he sees regularly, and that he can't find this usage cool or interesting. He goes on to remark about generative AI later in the clip, but let’s be clear, that specific statement was disconnected.

I’m curious what the Lemmy opinion is here. Is this a short-lived fad or does it speak to larger ramifications in the creative industry? Is this a silly little image filter or a harbinger of global artistic doom?
