I’ve seen some horrendous systems where you can tell a bunch of totally separate visions were frankenstein’d together

My experience has been that using AI only accelerates this process, because the AI has no concept of what good architecture is or how to reduce entropy. Unless you can one-shot the entire architecture, it’s going to immediately go off the rails. And if the architecture was that simple to begin with, there really wasn’t much value in the AI in the first place.

More Larian Aura farming. Please take a break you’re already full maxed out for community respect its actually getting unfair for other game developers.

Behind the Bastards had a different take. A lot of fascist movements get wierdly focussed on futurism and try to portray their movements as belonging in said future. Unfortunately I can’t remember the exact episodes this was mentioned

Anyway, how is your sex life?

Wow, look, a professional right here! Must have a high job insecurity to care about “machines took our jooobs”. Grow up and realise a POC solution is better than no solution, like products don’t ever get rewritten, lol.

It isn’t though. It’s a thing that makes shit. And it makes shit well enough that execs seriously consider it. Even though it can only make a commercial 60% as good as humans can, that’s good enough. Because AI can make 10 commercials in the same time traditional creators can make 1. It doesn’t matter how bad the ai commercials are because they can overwhelm any competition in sheer abundance. AI ads will drown out traditional ads. They are easier to make and are infinitely customisable. I can make 10 new ads a day for less than it would cost to make a single traditional ad. There really is no comparison

What the heck is a ta-da-m? It sounds like some kind of exotic medication 🤭

Hell yeah, otherkin inclusive language

Because AI can make 10 commercials in the same time traditional creators can make 1

Famously Cola Christmas commercial took more time and money to create than a traditional ad would?

Not to mention inertia from studio rep. I’d buy Bethesda hotdog water at some points for those studio. Now they could promise me head from a talented hooker with a clean record and I’d still probally pass cause Id probally just end 39 hours sore, blueballed, and being asked for the next payment.

Boring part: an exclamation meaning “there it is”

/boring mode off

hell, I want a medication with such a name now

I’ve literally never heard it with a -m before. Usually it’s just “tada”.

Eh not always, hell I wouldn’t even say it is most of the time.

Art for OTHERS is for communicating.

Art for yourself is everything from glorified shit to slop to trash to works of art, and soul searching .

Art for marketing is better low effort and shot gunned more often then not and that has actual science to back it up.

Art in the grand scheme of things is God damn fucking anything. Meaning or no meaning. Soul or no soul.

Heaven knows iv spent days on clay works that I just toss cause they existed for nothing more then something to do. Iv made paintings that iv proudly hung in my wall. While others I could barely give to shits about and frankly a random ai genned img would have more artistic merit in its prompt then the slop I shat onto the canvas.

Trying to dictate what is and isn’t art always makes you wrong with out expectation. Everything is art no matter what. The only value in art is what each person says it has to them and nothing more or less.

That’s the neat part AI art has value if nothing more then purely utilitarian value. But only if you give it value.

Just as most people don’t value modern art or a fucking banana nailed to a wall. Most won’t give AI art value. And that’s fine.

The problem is everyone fucking trying to say it has value, just as much as everyone saying it doesn’t.

You CANT dictate what art has value to others. Period.

I personally don’t see value in AI art. It’s just a thing that exist. Fuck copyright and really the problem argument anyone ever fucking has over AI art is copy right related. So who the fuck cares, copyright should be abolished anyways it’s God damn fucking stupid.

I mean look at a hobby project like neuro sama vs chat gpt.

It’s rather night and day difference in terms of responses and humanity.

While neuro and her sister both come across as autistic 7 year olds. They still come across as mostly human autistic 7 year olds. They have their moments they just lose it, which every LLM has.

But comparing them it’s really really obvious how many of the problems with the inhumanity and blandness is a choice of large companies to have the LLMs be marketable and corpo friendly.

In a world where these models could be trained and allowed to actually have human ish responses and focus on being “normal” instead of sterile robots. They would at least be way more fun.

Not much more reliable mind you. But at least they would be fun.

While I fully agree with you regarding my reasons to consume media, I’m not so sure if that’s actually a majority opinion. I get the impression that for a lot of people, the point of consuming media is actually just entertainment, something to take your mind off other things, and they don’t care about the communication and connection aspect.

Ooh yes I think this was mentioned in one of the nazi germany episodes, where they really had a thing for electricity. Maybe the next person can narrow it down further.

AI: The New Aesthetics of Fascism

We are talking about quality of writing fiction. There’s nothing wrong with being an amateur, but being rude when a professional has a higher skill cap than you is just kind of sad. This man has likely honed his craft over 10s of thousands of hours, respect that. You’ve basically told me that when you see someone just beginning to practice a skill you have honed you can’t tell a difference, or you lack the ability to transfer that concept to a skill you are unpracticed in. If you feel that this is still hard to understand, try reading the Eragon series then LotR. Both fun reads, but you can tell that one was written by someone early in their writing carrier vs later.

Makes sense when you think about it

You’re running an oppressive dictatorship. You still need enough people to support you to keep the thing going. What do you do? Make a bunch of people believe you’re going to improve their lives. How do you do that? First, you find an enemy to blame for everything. For Nazi Germany it was Jews, for the US now it’s mostly Latinos, but really all foreigners. But that alone might not be enough. So what else do you do? Pretend you’re doing everything economically and technologically to make things better for “the right people”.

It’s very funny to me when people say that using AI takes less time. They clearly haven’t prompted 10 times for a basic request only for the AI to fail every time.

I have. I use AI. I have been for a while. It’s good for very, very basic requests that people have asked for countless times over. It’s actually very good at that. For anything else, it’s useless.

And what I said above is the exact opposite of literally any creative workflow ever.
