A.I. tools unlocked “the sort of creative life I only dreamed of when I was younger,” one of the creators of an A.I. sketch-comedy show said. The technology put him in mind of “the auteur culture of the 60s and 70s.”

You enter the prompt: “red balloon against a blue sky” but the generator returns an image of an egg instead. You try again but this time, the generator shows an image of a watermelon. What’s going on? The generator you’re using may have been “poisoned”. theconversation.com/data-poisoni...

Brilliant. Is there a version for proprietary/copyrighted text?

No. Ai and culture have nothing in common. AI can do certain tasks very fast. And the owners of AI are looking for unregulated power. That‘s it.

Classic Boomers want all the results without any of the hard work. Jokes on them, the hard work is literally the point. I remember I use to play World of Warcraft as a kid. Frustrated with my lack of progress - I went to a private server with god like powers It made Azeroth meaningless and shit

Sure. I could use AI to write my reports at work. But AI hallucinates. It cites incorrect “facts”. So then I spend even more time proofreading the report than it would have taken if I had just written it myself in the first place.

Five bucks says the bougie puff piece on this AI show is funnier than the show its self. The paragraph above is hilarious.

So, is DT the authoritarian we need to curb or is AI going to take him down too?

Fuck these robots. I’ll make films with graphics so bad they’re good. Special effects are nothing without a good script; good actors; good director.

So our cultural landscape will consist of plagiarized pastiche cobbled together by creatively bankrupt fools who always envied those with real talent and now fancy themselves "auteurs." Bonus: we'll get to pay for their artistic cosplay with higher utility bills as they gobble water and electricity.
