“My dead father is “writing” me notes again A recent AI discovery resurrected my late father's handwriting—and I want anyone to use it.” - by Benj Edwards - Sep 12, 2024 5:00am CST

I find this use of AI, like with 99% of the “uses” for AI to be not only disturbing as all hell, but shows that we are creeping closer and closer to bizarro world.

Does that mean that AI can successfully read handwriting? I have some very old family letters, but I think I'm the last generation that'll be able to read them.

I'm not too worried yet. Took like 8 tries to generate an image and it kept coming out wrong. The AI acknowledged that it was wrong, correctly identified what was wrong and promised to rectify it. 8 tries later and I gave up and it actually thanked me for letting it off without further tries.

Damn, you actually tortured an AI?

I think that while current LLMs don't have the greatest context memories, they will remember certain things long from now.

Generate a picture of a house absolutely without any giraffes whatsoever. There should be no giraffes.

Huh...I kinda figured they'd be past that by now but I used your exact text for this:

What's even funnier is telling it it's wrong and to generate it again.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Depends on what you're using.
With local models you use something called a "negative prompt" to exclude anything that you don't want in the image.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

If you really want this to work, you would have to train/fine tune a model by feeding it a bunch of images that show that person's handwriting.

if you're just asking ChatGPT to do this for you then you're doing it wrong.

My scribblings will still be illegible after I'm dead. HA!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

They can also, with varying success rates, use a sample of a person's speech to resurrect a dead person's voice to say things. Which can be used for good or bad purposes, like any tool. I do think recreating someone's handwriting a lot more balanced on the bad uses than on the good..
