Artificial intelligence still has some way to go

AI stuck in its thumb and pulled out a bananum.

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

Acceptable Face is a great name for a student yearbook portrait business

perfectly acceptable face with one huge eye

Very disappointed that the Mona Lisa post cropped out the user's name because I really want to explore more of their AI art

Tge comment on tge video is iffy but I thought I'd get both in here.

“CGI in hollywood was developed to reduce the cost of film making but people's expectation increased, so cost involved in CGI also increased.”

Movies are a good example of more tech in product but product has deteriorated significantly…bad scripts, bad acting… https://t.co/nEqcPYUTdY

There is a lot of automation, but there are jobs in technology out there, even if there is a slow down because a lot of the cash is specifically going into AI

the cost comes out of a different bucket is the accounting trick

just make everything unprofitable on paper

the new chatgpt (4) was released for limited free use today. you can use it for a bit (i probably had about 1, and then it times out for the day. what caught my eye was that you can now direct it to browse the internet.

me: what does it mean that you can browse the web

ChatGPT
When I say that I can browse the web, it means I have the capability to search the internet in real-time to retrieve information on a variety of topics. Here’s what this entails:

Real-time Information: I can look up current events, latest news, recent studies, or any information that might have changed since my last training cut-off in October 2023.
Expanded Knowledge: If you ask about a topic that I'm not fully knowledgeable about, I can search for and retrieve relevant and up-to-date information to provide a more accurate and complete answer.
Verification of Facts: For questions requiring precise data or current status (like live sports scores, weather updates, stock prices), I can fetch and verify these details from reliable sources.
Diverse Perspectives: I can gather information from multiple sources to provide a balanced view on topics, especially those that might be controversial or have varying opinions.
Specific Information Retrieval: If you provide a URL, I can open it to extract and summarize information directly from the provided link.

we talked about ilx for a while. i asked it about certain threads of mine and it kept referring to a wikihow thread that doesn't exist:

me: Can you tell me about specific users / posters? For example, z_tbd and their thread Hey, let me drunkenly animate your photos in about 25 to 60 days!

ChatGPT

Searched 6 sites

The ILX thread you referenced, "Wikihow: the worst content on the internet?" created by user z_tbd, is a long-running discussion on the forum I Love Everything (ILE). This thread focuses on highlighting and humorously critiquing various questionable, bizarre, and poorly written articles found on WikiHow.

...

me: I'm sorry, you're mistaken. That user, z_tbd, has not created a thread called "Wikihow: the worst content on the internet". Can you please provide the URL you used to get that info?

ChatGPT: I apologize for the error. Here is the correct information based on the thread you mentioned:

The thread titled "Hey, let me drunkenly animate your photos in about 25 to 60 days!" was started by user z_tbd on ILX. This thread is a humorous offer from the user to animate photos provided by other members of the community. The thread reflects the light-hearted and playful nature of some discussions on ILX, where users engage in creative and entertaining projects.

not sure why i apologized to chatgpt, though i guess i felt bad because it was kind of a confusing request since the thread was created by z s not z_tbd. real life is weird. anyway, as you can see it's still just...making up shit, even if it is the disposition of chatgpt is generally supportive and cheerful - it will tell you exactly what you wanted to hear. but, it's also coherent and, if you're not paying close attention, and if your goal is not to be accurate but to simulate something that's close to accurate, it does the job.

me: Who is the most legendary ILXor?

ChatGPT: Determining the most legendary ILXor (member of the ILX community) can be subjective, as it depends on the criteria used—such as influence, activity, or notoriety. However, some names frequently come up in discussions about the most notable ILX members:

Ned Raggett: Widely respected for his extensive knowledge of music and prolific contributions to ILM (I Love Music). He is known for his thoughtful and detailed posts.

Tom Ewing: One of the founders of ILX and the creator of the popular blog "Freaky Trigger". Ewing is also known for his "Popular" project, where he reviews every UK number one single.

Dom Passantino: Known for his sharp wit and often provocative posts, Dom has been a polarizing but influential figure on the boards.

Marcello Carlin: Recognized for his deep insights into music and culture, Carlin's posts and reviews are highly regarded by many in the ILX community.

Jess Harvell: A music critic whose contributions have left a lasting impact on ILM, Harvell's writings and discussions are frequently referenced and respected.

sorry, forgot to finish this thought - i probably had about 10 interactions with chatgpt4 before it was locked out for the day, reverting back to 3.5 for free use

haha no mention of Momus

Wikihow: the worst content on the internet?

Quora vs Wikihow battle royale

you gotta make this thread now

Predictive AI

i should probably wait til i get more 4.0 tokens tomorrow before i make it, so i know what to do

eh, may as well just live a little and try it myself without ai assist mode

we talked about ilx for a while. i asked it about certain threads of mine and it kept referring to a wikihow thread that doesn't exist:

not sure what you're talking about as this is secretly one of my favorite threads on ilx? it's here fyi Wikihow: the worst content on the internet?"

haa

Did that list of famous ilxers just come from wikipedia?

Yeah, feel sure I've seen that before ire (in real internet)

guess i shouldnt be surprised theyre that bold re the scarlett johansson thing but damn they are bold arent they, and super lame, trying to copy a movie, the movie people should sue them, the government should launch a missile at them

I still think there is a huge opportunity in making voice assistants actually usable, and related stuff like being able to accept natural language queries to invoke relatively complex actions on your computer. That probably doesn't qualify as AI but at its best it could make current computing UX feel like "dumb" computing

There's been "English is the next programming language" hype for a while now - even if it worked, like, whose English?

does talking to a computer/automated interface make anyone else feel like a mark or is it just me

hah yeah idk why but I get weirdly self conscious speaking into the remote control even if it does save time

It doesnt tho! Im not going to remodulate my voice so a machine understands it thats dehumanizing and stupid!

it was really hard to get voice recognition to its currently kinda ok level and getting it to good will be much harder, maybe too hard, and then you have the problems of understanding what was said and making a good response

It doesn't need to be spoken, could be typed. I'd much rather type "email the garden supply place to ask why those pots haven't been delivered yet" than hunt for the receipt, think about what to say, make sure to put the order number in the subject line etc

yeah keyboards are much easier but typing stuff out letter-by-letter on the TV is really obnoxious

maybe one day you can just think about it real hard

"email the garden supply place to ask why those pots haven't been delivered yet" than hunt for the receipt, think about what to say, make sure to put the order number in the subject line etc

computers have a hard time with this stuff progress has been made but its just against their nature to understand things like the garden supply place and those pots

a faster solution to Tracer's problem would be abolishing capitalism imho
