unogueen Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Thanks to AI, it’s probably time to take your photos off the Internet ARSTECHNICA.COM AI tech makes it trivial to generate harmful fake photos from a few social media pictures. Deepfakes aren't new, but neither is AI. All of us on the net have at points been prompted to train these dumb machines as busywork. There's been a period where automation was a topic where every burger flipper was going to do the dodo. Bet you didn't figure this. The advent of easy access for prompt AI is already a heady shitfest, when this gets the opportunity that something like google.com or amazon.com did it's really going to 'hit it's stride'. Nevermind the jobs, there's an assured death to craft and all of it's belongings at hand. Including the people. Your neighbour jimbob may fare well, but there's a whole ass fucking planet of people to contend with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going to be the utopia they think it is. Just see ALL HUMAN HISTORY to see what shits we are especially when we hold power over others. Yes the systems now reinforce the elite few and automation will only strengthen that grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very nature of these losers and lack of self awareness or understanding of creatives has a massive inherit bias.

SuperSpreader Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Also I do think it's unstoppable and we're in for 30 years of even more creative blandness until people drop it like Facebook after it consumes every creative process because producers don't understand how to see the world and are soulless ai themselves. Pretty soon a bunch of brazil305s are gonna be calling every creative shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Depends on the AI dudes. The central question is: how many GPUs do your AI overlords have on hand? Long Short Term Memory Nets&Convolutional Neural Nets>Deep Belief Network>Multilayer Perceptron>single perceptron. Just be sure to remember that artificial intelligence doesn’t really exist, if by ‘intelligence ‘ we mean human intelligence. AI is just data being fed through an algorithm—human intelligence is special, and cannot be replicated by a digital machine. At the very least because the digital machine is just a meaningless bundle of funky-looking objects without it. But that doesn’t mean it won’t enslave us anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been automizing parts of labor that were once purely manual for as long as we domesticated various livestock to assist in agricultural production. All sorts of automation and computerization has cut human labor down, and yet people continue to get jobs and work because there is always something new to create that needs the labor of humans to do.

Never enough. 1 hour ago, Signifyin(g)Monkey said: Long Short Term Memory Nets&Convolutional Neural Nets>Deep Belief Network>Multilayer Perceptron>single perceptron. Despite Schmidhuber's protests, LSTMs are old news. The current layer responsible for these LLMs and many other things is the transformer. MLPs are shockingly still alive and well. Virtually every architecture includes an MLP as part of it's design. 1 hour ago, Signifyin(g)Monkey said: Just be sure to remember that artificial intelligence doesn’t really exist, if by ‘intelligence ‘ we mean human intelligence. That's right, human-like intelligence is still the gold standard by a large margin, despite the GOPs best efforts to reverse that. 1 hour ago, Signifyin(g)Monkey said: AI is just data being fed through an algorithm Not exactly.

At the very least because the digital machine is just a meaningless bundle of funky-looking objects without it. Almost surely not true. Modern digital computers probably don't have close to the effective compute of a the human brain, and especially not on a per watt basis. So for practical reasons, it might not end up being the computational substrate of the future for AI. We might have to invent new computer architectures. However, for digital computers to be insufficient in principle, the Church-Turing thesis would have to wrong. That is a FAR more fantastical claim than saying digital computers can replicate human-like intelligence and it has really weird implications about reality. 1 hour ago, Signifyin(g)Monkey said: But that doesn’t mean it won’t enslave us anyway.

My man, I’ve seen your work. Do you believe it is any less derivative of other artists before you (whose work was all derivative or maybe iterative of other before them) and their work than what Lensa is doing by training a computer artist on styles and techniques to render new pieces? Very few pieces of art these days are truly original. Generative AI is just speeding up the process that humans do on the daily by learning from the efforts of other creative people who came before.

So to be clear, you believe: 1. that when you use your creative juices to take tools and make art in a style that somebody else created (like your very cool pixel art projects), that is an example of talent and practice but 2. that when the app developers use their creative juices to create tools that make art in a style that somebody else created, that is not an example of talent and practice I supposed we simply disagree. And your all caps line is not true, you won't find a single example of a signature being in the image. What you will find is that the app creates things that are unintelligible but look similar to signatures because the datasets they are using to the train the model include signatures often and so the app ends up producing images that have scribbles in the areas you would often see signatures.
