"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Rules:

Relevant posts only.
No bigotry.
This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
Especially no AI advocacy.
Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Some people, some artists, describe his work as “techniquey.” You follow the various techniques he demonstrates, and your painting will look similar. Almost like paint by numbers (if anyone remembers those.) Of course it looks very nice, and takes some time and effort. But it’s pretty much something anyone could do, by following the steps, like a recipe. Some people can follow a recipe and cook a very nice dish, that doesn’t make them Gordon Ramsey.

I've always thought of the idea "When can you say you know how to play the piano"

If I know all the correct keys to hit for 1 song? 2,3,4 songs...

If I can read any sheet music and play

If I can come up with my own music

For example my brother can sit down at the piano and play the Fur Elise. He cannot read sheet music and I'm sure it's not done technically right all the way through. But can he play the piano? When does he get to say he can play the piano? 15 songs? Guitar players do not have to learn to read sheet music and if a person could play 15 songs on guitar you'd probably would say they could play the guitar fairly well.

I can bake cookies from my favorite recipe, I just don't understand the food science behind it. Just like not understanding all the music theory behind a piano piece

Kind of like if you gave a master piano player a piano with a single broken key and told them to play a song. (With my limited music understanding) they could play the song using a different "key" to avoid the broken key.

A master chef could do something similar where it's like "I only have this type of flour, I better adjust..."

Yo-yo Ma could only play while reading sheat music until he was forced to improvise by Bela Flek like maybe 20 years ago. Yo-yo Ma has been one of the premier cellists for like my whole life and I'm 50.

I can barely read music, but I can play about 20 different instruments well enough by ear and feel to jam with total strangers in lots of different styles and not feel awkward or fuck up the vibe. Does that put me anywhere near Ma's level of musicianship? Oh hell no. But I damn well claim I'm a musician.
