Artificial intelligence still has some way to go

its interesting how averaging out all available writing produces the classic bullshitters tone, and the program is also by nature actually bullshitting

mb most writing is bullshitting, i guess a lot of websites are just marketing which is obvs bullshit, but theres a ton of other stuff out there too, im assuming they used books idk, huge sites like reddit or twitter are pretty low quality on average but theyre not majority in the bullshit style

Artificial intelligence has conquered comedy

Watched Rear Window, The Thing, Alien, The Third Man and the The Taking of Pelham One Two Three over five nights a few weeks ago and got in a funk that movies are just never going to look cool again.

I didn't mind Dune 1 to my surprise but just knowing how much CGI there is in almost any movie or TV series now, I wind up unconsciously watching for it and then being annoyed when I see something bad.

Watching Columbo in earnest for the first time and it's kind of amazing how many times I'm really struck by the shots/framing/cinematography, a network procedural from back then is better shot than a lot of oscar shit now

Every episode a new beautiful foyer built on a soundstage

Ex-athletic director arrested for framing principal with AI-generated voice

https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/k-12-schools/eric-eiswert-ai-audio-baltimore-county-YBJNJAS6OZEE5OQVF5LFOFYN6M/

so fucked up and actually if the perp had just taken a little more care it would have been harder to confirm as a deepfake. in a few months, if not now, it is very possible to do this stuff to a degree that will fool a lot of the detection programs. the voices are VERY good

It's really wild. There is basically zero legitimate use case for this, like selling an AI safecracking tool

its sad how often peoples search history shows up in indictments

what we need -- for better movies and for arresting the deepfakers -- is AI Columbo

That's right

uhh, you get control of ai deepfake to crush the boss, and that's how offensive you make it? it's def unacceptable for a school official (or anyone), but gop congressmen are more offensive on the record.

and then you get busted with a gun at a airport?

ai columbo would know darien was SET UP and find the real criminal.

I’d go to an all-breadstick restaurant tho

A trip down memory lane to being a picky eater who didn’t like ‘red sauce.’ Every Italian restaurant was a breadstick restaurant.

― mark s

there was that person a couple years ago who did a dead-on columbo impersonation. was a big fan of that.

The 42-second voice recording, purportedly of a Maryland high school principal in the midst of a racist rant, derided Black students as “ungrateful” and unable to “test their way out of a paper bag.”

“I’m just so sick of the inadequacies of these people,” sneered the voice on the recording, which was posted on social media in January, igniting outrage and prompting the school district to place the principal on leave.

But the recording was not what it seemed, according to Baltimore County police. A school employee, investigators charged Thursday, had used artificial-intelligence tools to fabricate the audio with the intention of falsely depicting the principal, Eric Eiswert, as bigoted and antisemitic.

The employee, Dazhon Darien, 31, the former athletic director at Pikesville High School, was taken into custody at Baltimore-Washington International Marshall Airport on Thursday as he was about to fly to Houston. Airport security personnel, after detaining Darien because he was carrying a firearm, discovered that a judge had just issued a warrant for his arrest in the AI case.

Darien, in a text message, declined to comment Friday and referred questions to an attorney who was not immediately available. He was released on a $5,000 bond at a hearing Thursday where he was charged with disrupting school activities, retaliating against a witness, stalking and theft, according to court records.

that was fun

yeah, that's a jam

If only there was a way to confine AI to shitposting.

omg. we will never, ever be free until skynet and all networks are destroyed forever, will we?

oh god what have you done

An underrated feature of AI generated art and music is the ability to get close to finally *showing* others what the inside of your mind often looks like. For better or worse.

This was this morning's mood. Not perfect, but not that far off either.

Eric needs to get out more

I kind of agree with him, but also think we may not need to see the insides of many people's minds

wouldn't the textual prompt he used to generate this image also explain how he felt?

(with apologies to all the aphantasic people out there)

lol this guy didn't realize that everyone's mind looks like that

xpost yeah it's kinda like when people go "omg look at the hilariously outlandish thing AI wrote for me", and then you see the prompt which is so weirdly specific and detailed the author probably could have written it themselves

i know these are ten a penny but this one particularly amused me

AI stuck in its thumb and pulled out a bananum.

i tried it but unthinkingly put "that" in the prompt and got this

take that out and get the same as the original
