Honey, we can’t have another child. There’s no room!

It doesn’t have to be oil. A bit of water (it’s surprising how little will do) enables the starch to dissolve, which essentially glues the spaghetti together.
I find the phrase “Born with the intention” in itself worthy of head-scratching.
I hate these places. Is it so hard to configure the phone to block calls or make an announcement when the place isn’t open?
This also applies to government agencies. “We’ll shortly be taking your call [in 16 hours when we’re open again]. Please hold the line”
Don’t worry, I can hold my breath until I’m done.
Gee, what’s the point of re-telling a joke? I can’t possibly tell. 🤦
I don’t consider the cost of the instrument and my time when considering the money I save on the drink.
But you do consider the cost of training when we’re talking about the AI’s output. That’s the double standard.
Your entire argument stems from the idea that this comic is somehow adding value to the world. […] Nothing of value was created
The comic made me smile. It made my day better because I like the presentation and the style. The post currently has a vote ratio of 266:78. So I’m clearly not the only one enjoying it. I do believe that bringing joy to people adds value.
[T]he “artist” doesn’t even get to have any personal satisfaction because it’s just an algorithm. […] [T]he other “artist” didn’t actually put any effort into it when they just wrote “write a funny comic” into a text field.
I can’t understand why that is a problem. Why are you hurt because a machine cannot get personal satisfaction? Are you mad at an mp3 player because it doesn’t enjoy the music it plays? The point of this comic obviously isn’t to benefit the creator. It’s to enjoy the reader.
If you insist on drawing parallels to a human artist: Do you think everyone enjoys creating every single piece they create? That there are no commissioned words that an artist grudgingly accepts because they have to pay their bills? Sometimes the process of doing something isn’t the end goal, but the product.
If you want to create music for your own benefit, there’s no need to do it in public. You can do it in a garage. You’re going to a bar because pleasing the audience with a good product is at least part of your motivation. Do you think they care if you’ve enjoyed making the music? They only care if they enjoy consuming it.
It’s amazing how you manage to keep up such a double standard in the same comment. Have you been practicing doublethink for a while?
On the one hand you say a human can output this while consuming just a hamburger, on the other hand you say it takes practice (conveniently leaving out the ‘years of’ part).
On the one hand you say “the algorithm” consumes ludicrous amounts of energy, but on the other hand keeping a person alive seems to be free in your world-view. (And no, a homeless person getting just enough to survive does not count as an example of consuming few resources. That’s not a life, that’s misery.)
When AI outputs something for a small audience, that’s a huge waste, but if a human draws something for themselves, that’s somehow adorable?
Good job pointing out @[email protected]’s disingenuous argumentation!
