Not really it's supposed to understand what a tail is, what a cat is, and which part of the cat is the tail. That's how the "brain" behind AI works

    It searches the internet for cats without tails and then generates an image from a summary of what it finds, which contains more cats with tails than without.

    That's how this Machine Learning progam works

    That isn't at all how something like a diffusion based model works actually.

    So what training data does it use?

    They found data to train it that isn't just the open internet?

    Regardless of training data, it isn't matching to anything it's found and squigglying shit up or whatever was implied. Diffusion models are trained to iteratively convert noise into an image based on text and the current iteration's features. This is why they take multiple runs and also they do that thing where the image generation sort of transforms over multiple steps from a decreasingly undifferentiated soup of shape and color. My point was that they aren't doing some search across the web, either externally or via internal storage of scraped training data, to "match" your prompt to something. They are iterating from a start of static noise through multiple passes to a "finished" image, where each pass's transformation of the image components is a complex and dynamic probabilistic function built from, but not directly mapping to in any way we'd consider it, the training data.

    Oh ok so training data doesn't matter?

    It can generate any requested image without ever being trained?

    Or does data not matter when it makes your agument invalid?

    Tell me how you moving the bar proves that AI is more intelligent than the sum of its parts?

    Ah, you seem to be engaging in bad faith. Oh, well, hopefully those reading at least now between understanding what these models are doing and can engage in more informed and coherent discussion on the subject. Good luck or whatever to you!

    It doesn't search the internet for cats, it is pre-trained on a large set of labelled images and learns how to predict images from labels. The fact that there are lots of cats (most of which have tails) and not many examples of things "with no tail" is pretty much why it doesn't work, though.

    And where did it happen to find all those pictures of cats?

    It's not the "where" specifically I'm correcting, it's the "when." The model is trained, then the query is run against the trained model. The query doesn't involve any kind of internet search.

    And I care about "how" it works and "what" data it uses because I don't have to walk on eggshells to preserve the sanctity of an autocomplete software

    You need to curb your pathetic ego and really think hard about how feeding the open internet to an ML program with a LLM slapped onto it is actually any more useful than the sum of its parts.
