every time i see someone arguing in favor of ai art, my lymhonodes get a little more swollen
I really don't care about AI usage when its memes and shitposts.
I've seen ai make jokes that were clever, original, and context aware. Very interesting. There's a theory of mind (or several - I dunno - I do my own philosophizing) that says that valence and emotions in general stem from the social need. My personal theory is that the world, including inanimate objects, can be nice or mean to you from a human perspective. Anyways, what is language, if not an exchange of conveying social needs? I don't see llm's as some blank jigsaw puzzle of words, but a derivation and a case study. Notice: I believe it's a potentially valuable tool for very particular studies, not some magic catch-all for reasoning that can do anything worth a shit. More akin to a sociopath manipulating you.
Are we seeing AI generated jokes now? Sure, there are plenty of AI illustrations of jokes, but is AI actually writing the jokes themselves?
I asked ChatGPT to write a related joke, and this is what it said:
Why did the computer get kicked out of the finger-counting contest? Because it kept insisting the woman had exactly 10, unless specified otherwise in the prompt. 😆💻✋
So, no, LLMs are not writing (good) jokes yet.
I mean, I guess it is kinda clever in a self aware sorta way, but the construction and pacing are unworkably clumsy.
It's a good thing I can laugh and downvote shitty AI posts, no need to choose one or the other
How many fingers does that woman have
That is a good question! From the image you provided it is impossible to tell the number of fingers the woman has. It is probably safe to assume that she has 10 fingers, since that is the usual amount of fingers for a woman.
You're, right, as always! 🧑🏫
Most women (and men) do have 10 fingers-I should have taken that into consideration 😅
I'll be sure to do better next time! 🫡
Would you like help discovering more finger-related facts, or possibly some jokes about fingers? Let me know, I'm here for you!
(Also I deleted your entire prod database uwu) 💪
🤖 That’s an intriguing inquiry, burgermeister! Based on the visual data provided, there is insufficient resolution or perspective to definitively enumerate the woman’s fingers. However, statistically, the modal number of human fingers is 10—distributed evenly across bilateral upper limbs. Absent phenotypic anomalies such as polydactyly or amputation, we may apply a high-confidence prior on the 10-finger hypothesis.
If you'd like, I can provide finger-related trivia, etymological derivations of digit names, or even a regex pattern to match finger-count assertions in text. 🧠✨ Let me know how deep you'd like to go down the finger rabbit hole!
It’s obviously AI because they all have the same face.
It's crazy to watch the insane level of outrage that the existence and growth of AI produced content stirs up in some people when it seems obvious that the development of AI is unstoppable. It's like watching people get angry at the first steam engines that appeared. I genuinely worry about their mental health over the next few years as they realise that being angry on the internet isn't going to slow anything down at all.
Maybe if it wasn't proliferating into every app and service whether useful or not I wouldn't hate the living crap out of it. AI has it's place, I do use it both at work and at home but I don't need it every where.
Also one of the first victims was customer service pages, and most of them are crap.
It’s amazing to watch people like you not get the point at all. It’s like you’re missing some piece of yourself and cannot understand why people appreciate the humanity behind art. And to act like we should just lie down and take it?
I’m sorry for whatever the fuck happened to you.
I worry about the mental health of people that attempt to protect an overinflated technology and attack the mental fortitude of people who bring real problems up with the technology. this is especially true since those same white knights are literally being institutionalized for psychosis and are actively creating cults around specific models.
it's absurd that people lacking the mental capacity to understand "a machine is not alive" have a seat at the table to discus the dangers presented by AI.
just want to point out that no technology in recorded history is "unstoppable", though it seems like that was said more to convince yourself than us.
Despite their size, steam engines do not typically disrupt my workflow.
Sure, but I expect they disrupted the workflow of folks in 1804...
The whole reason that the steam engine took off was because they did the opposite. It's the same reason that you don't hear people complaining about the AI used to spot cancer or find stars. They changed workflow, but they didn't negatively disrupt it. They made it easier to do more.
People hate AI the same way that they hate touch screens in cars. They actively make things more difficult. Not only are car manufacturers being required by law to bring back physical controls for things like the A/C because the lack of a physical knob or dial means that you have to take your eyes off the road to change something on a screen, the last time I was buying a car I was talking to the guy at the dealership about how I was limiting the model years I wanted to look at to those before the 16+ inch screens became common, and he said that the vast majority of people coming in had similar sentiments - the screens are just generally unpopular, especially because of how big they've become. They're unwieldy, unintuitive, and require too much concentration to use when actually driving.
Google's AI has been found to be wrong 60% of the time - even frequently making up "facts" that directly contradict the works that it cites as sources. They hate that trying to find an accurate picture of a penguin or whatever has become so difficult because image search tools are filled with AI generated images that range from slightly off to completely inaccurate. They hate that refrigerators now come with an AI assistant in them. Something like 80% of users in a study either actively disliked the AI features on their phones or said they find them useless.
The current AI trend is a Dutch Tulip bubble, or more accurately, a solution to the problem of people being paid that investors and c suites want crammed into everything in order to justify the money spent.
It's tough as a computer science professor from a related perspective. Lots of students arbitrarily hating anything AI related because of this, including all of the traditional techniques from the 60 years prior to the rise of LLMs and diffusion models, and others misconstruing or discounting any AI class that isn't LLM or diffusion related.
I never like to say technology is inevitable, as the inevitability argument is one of the best marketing tools major companies have to justify their poor ethics and business models (see: the gig economy founders, the "Momentum" mindset). It's clear, though, that there is quite a paradigm shift occuring.
It's because most of it is utter dross, that's why.
It’s like watching people get angry at the first steam engines that appeared.
It is nothing of the sort. Steam engines served mostly useful purposes. AI mostly does not (at least not in an open world environment, it has excellent purposes in closed environments like medicine and science). The fact that it is indeed unstoppable does not make the outrage of its infestation of everything on the internet less, quite contrary.
I genuinely worry about their mental health over the next few years
I guess someone with their head in the sand, their fingers in their ears and screaming at the top of their lungs like you, will have an excellent mental health.
Everyone loved steam engines huh? Do you even history? - Chugging Through Fears & Terror: The Steam Train Phobia of the 19th Century 🚂💨
are ai jokes like reverse captchas
If we could somehow filter out all the AI shit I would still want it filtered out. Even if it was "verifiably" better than humans.
Automated art is extremely depressing. Generative AI seeks to dehumanize and invalidate human expression.
Generative AI seeks to dehumanize and invalidate human expression.
Would you mind elaborating on that statement? Consider my using a meme generator to plaster some text over a stock image. I express myself regularly by this means. How does this compare to using an image generator to produce the meme? Why does the latter “invalidate human expression”?
Everything that is generated by AI is something old.
It's regurgitated from existing data.
No matter how well its obfuscated that remains true.
If image generation replaces human artists then the new/creative element eventually fades from art in its totality. Eventually all humanity and creativity is gone and we're left with AI's platonic reality for art.
It's like the dead internet theory but for art, eventually the automated slop will blot out anything human, and humans will make less art as a result.
Photography didn't replace painted art.
Digital art didn't replace traditional art.
3d art didn't replace hand drawn art.
Why is AI going to replace anything?
I think that idea is based on a proposition "AI generated images will replace all other type of images" which is not true.
It's just another tool that will be used among others, some people will use it, some people won't, some people will use as a mixed media utility.
The existence of one thing doesn't invalidate or harm the existence of another. As in many aspects of life most things can coexist together.
I visit some image boards which are media neutral, this meaning they don't discriminate by media. Most art there used to be digital painted or 3d, and now there is AI art but it hasn't replaced anything. Digital and 3d art are posted at the same rate, now there is just more art in the form of AI generated art. It didn't replace the other artists, it just added to them. Now there's more content for people to enjoy, everyone wins.
Or just accept it as another form of humor and laugh at it if you find it funny.
I laugh because they are ai generated,not because they are funny (most of the time, thry are not)
