Love how the dude is picking food off of the kid's plate.

They really don't give a flying fuck anymore, do they.

[-] Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club 36 points 3 months ago

They? You mean the A.I. that made this? You think they ever gave shits?

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Presumably at some point a human being was involved in the decision making process to try and use this image to convey... some kind of message to other human beings, and at least one human being in that process couldn't be bothered to give the AI slop more than the most cursory glance.

Unless of course one could design a fully-automated system of generating pseudo-scientific clickbait factoid garbage accompanied by AI-generated illustrations, entirely dedicated to producing as much vaguely plausible-seeming garbage as possible, 24 hours a day, just spewing out the opposite of useful knowledge at an unfathomable rate.

But what kind of monster would deploy that weapon on humanity?

AI won't make anything without being prompted.

[-] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 months ago

LLMs, MLs and similar don't make anything, they regurgitate all the stolen work somebody else made.

No, that's not how they work. They're not spitting out the exact image they ingested.

[-] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

They can. However, what we mean by regurgitate is that they are mixing all those images into a colourful vomit, and vomit-inducing mess that is obvious. Nothing original, nothing 'made', just pure regurgitated slop.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 3 months ago

Regardless of the ethical implications, you can't honestly say that what they do isn't a technological marvel.

You can ask for a picture of just about anything, and if you're specific enough you can get it to generate exactly what's in your head.

[-] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yes, we can and we will. It doesn't do what you're saying it does. We have seen some of the images it generates and a prompt for it, they were off a lot.

Also, even if it did, that's not the point of art. Good art is a process, failing is as much a part of that process, as is compromising, working around things etc. What such a thing would do is remove all that and create something lacking beauty, a 'soul' to be poetic about it.

All such things would do if they could do it 'perfectly' is teach people to never learn how to do things themselves which is a shame, because it would be wonderful to see what they could create if they had learned to actually make art instead of relying on something 'perfect' though as we've established, it isn't.

Go ask a commission artist if the client is always happy with the very first piece they produce.

Yes, that's what the person prompting the AI is doing

AI is a tool. There are people who still don't think digital artists are actually artists because they use more advanced tools than physical ones.

But the fact is that with trial and error, AI can let a person get something inspired from their head into the real world.

I was about to comment the same. Maybe the reason the kid grows up with issues is that their food kept getting stolen

The guy is literally trying to pick up the food with a knife, so...

Fuck you! My weird, ethereal mesh parents let me link to their copper all the time, and I turned out just fine. The problem is all these underparented kids nowadays with their undeveloped third eyes, unprepared for the wondrous horrors of existence.

Sell copper, buy drugs -- be happy. A happy childhood is a path to a healthy adulthood.

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago

Am i reading this correctly, this is making fun of someone who used this ai image in their post or sonething right?

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's making fun of the long-standing trend of using abstract generated imagery that fetishizes a technological view of the world while trying to talk about human issues, as well as tacky, over-the-top AI art broadly.

There is also an "anti-meme" trend online that uses literal translations of imagery to make absurdist jokes.
