Well AI is definitely better than humans now

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

AI needs to be treated with calm patience. It needs to be contained and observed so we can realise its potential in a safe, contained environment. Instead we're immediately using it to replace what the wealthy don't have and can never possess. Born-in talent. Artistry, humour. It's what you can't buy. It makes the people capable of creativity high value. And we can't have that, can we?

AI-made memes aren't funny at all.

Memes quickly assembled in Gimp should be sitting on a throne considering the skills required

Libre office draw is also underrated for memes. You can mark sections inside the file and export them to png.

Because we are better than you.

I’ll take your shittiest MS Paint meme over your finest AI design.

I want the human element! I’m not relating to a machine. I want something made by another ghost in a meat suit.

I asked ChatGPT to make a cutting edge, unique, creative, evolutionary meme that appeals to Gen Z and...this is what it did.

Ew.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

I honestly like this... I feel like this still fits into the good old-fashioned fun of the humour of e.g. aiweirdness.com

Ok ok, I admit that I chuckled at "I identify as wifi"

The capybara with airpods, lol. Are capybaras particularly popular with Gen Z?

It's interesting to me to see the airpods aren't even in its ears, which I take as the LLM not recognizing that the capybara's ears are ears. Or maybe it doesn't recognize that airpods belong in ears, and just sees that it generally goes on the side of the head where ears usually are. It really is fascinating technology, shame it's used in the way it is.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Capybara are extremely popular the past few years.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

LLM? I would've thought they'd use an image generation model for this rather than a language model. But yeah, it just does approximations without a lot of reasoning.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah good catch, I used the completely wrong word there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

i wouldn't consider it an inherently LLM issue, given how many animal cartoons we have who also wear headphones where human ears would be.

it's such a human error

I am at my sexiest when badly editing memes in GIMP, which isn't saying much but it is fact

GIMP is not low effort. If you can 'quickly assemble' memes, it's because of previous effort. (I'm studying to be someone who can quickly assemble memes in GIMP)

That program has a unique UI philosophy. Does it resemble Photoshop? I've never used that.

Chatbots: Fuck you

Partially use of AI in complex film productions etc: Fine

Plant recognition: You're cool

Surveillance AI: Fuck you

Scientific use of machine learning: Great!

Commercial AI in general: And fuck you, I'm out!

By definition AI is an attempt to imitate the source material, so yeah, it can only be a little worse or a lot worse, but never better.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Full definition is predicting but if you predict wrong enough you can hallucinate stuff and once in a while it's close.

And only cost is enough money to end homelessnes 30 times over.
Unless you unignore the ethics side, then there are a few extra costs.

Its an infinite canvas 2d design tool, used for making software mockups, prototyping and workflow designs. But I use it for all sorts of things, including things you might use Illustrator for like designing logos and vector graphics. It's very powerful.

Lol, I won't lie to you I was just setting up for the inevitable "figma balls" joke, thanks for the serious explanation though
