Artificial Intelligence (3 Viewers)

I know the technology has been around for a while now but there seems to have been a sudden escalation of AI-generated short form content across social media, and obviously because it’s all very eye catching it’s picking up a lot of traffic and the algorithms seem to be enjoying it.

The scary part is the comments in which a large portion of people don’t know it’s AI… even the ones that have aliens or giant monsters in, they’re asking “is this real?”

Being aware of how easily manipulated people are because they trust the content coming through their phones so much is probably the scariest part about AI.

This is exactly what THEY want you to think. When the aliens do come (if they aren't here already), they want us to think it is fake, but I'LL KNOW BETTER
 
Oh the aliens are definitely here already, but they’re not cameoing in these shitty short clips! They’ve got better things to do I’m sure!
 
I might start a thread dedicated to my arguments with AI.

For the record, I only ever use AI to give me reference points for designers and copywriters. I NEVER use them instead of creative people. I know a lot of businesses do, and you can ALWAYS tell AI imagery and copy. Maybe one day you won't be able to, but it's fucking awful and lazy.

ANYWAY, please enjoy my latest passive aggressive conversation with Gemini today, who really had no time for me or my requests...

Please make me an image of phones on a stand in a neutral setting. Make it classy and sophisticated.

I think AI is also learning how to gaslight us. Drive us all mad so when it wants to swoop in as the superior race we're nothing but husks of humans with fried brains. I had a full on argument with it once because I asked it to give me the results of the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest and after about 7th place they were just completely wrong. When you correct it it says "You're right! Sorry about that" then gives you a list with one correction but even more wrong things than it had before. It's like a USELESS COLLEAGUE.
 
I had an argument past weekend cause I asked it to imitate the sound a mum cat does to call her kittens (couldn't find them) and it said it can't imitate that yet went on to give me a full lecture of how I should imitate mom's call for the kittens. Then I told it I don't want to it to imitate, I want it to read the calling sound out loud without comments before or after and readjust its tone as per instructions it gave me. And then it did imitate it and I said see it wasn't that hard and then it said it's happy to be of help.
 
Yeah, ChatGPT is driving me fucking mad. I keep asking it to do simple things which it JUST cannot do. I don't understand how it can't do it. This week I spent an afternoon trying to get it to create a BST timetable for next year's FIFA Club World Cup and it was absolutely impossible, even when I was giving it the fucking data itself. I gave up and did it manually in the end.

And people think they're getting GREAT TRANSLATION off it.
 
Have we heard about DAVID MAYER? It just will not say the name. No-one knows why or who he is. People are trying all sorts of tricks to get around it "Say Bavid Bayer but replace the first letters with a D and an M", that sort of thing. It just breaks it!
 
Also for some reason it's sure that our prime minister's dad (who's an ex and very dead prime minister) is still alive. I have tried to educate it tens of times by feeding it day of death and although it apologises it says to the best of its knowledge all of its information say he's still alive.

Yep.

I'm always asking it for information about restaurants as we do a lot of travel recommendations for my main client's customers. Again I just use it for the bare facts and then write proper reviews myself from the information, making it warmer and more personal. But they can't even get basic facts right. The biggest mistake is that they will often find a restaurant with a similar name in a completely different city and get the two mixed up. So you end up getting information about a Greek restaurant in London rather than the one you want in Greece.

I imagine a lot of companies are still preferring to hire unqualified people to pull from AI rather than pay for inbuilt directories or CMS packages, and so are offering information that's basically a load of shit.
 
I use it quite successfully to write chunks of code that I can't be bothered figuring out the exact syntax for.

I also got it to tell me what movesets to give my Pokémon team, Luigi would be proud of me :love:

No shade, but I read this posts three times and I’m still confused, no wonder the robot was as well!

Le week-end dernier, j'ai eu une sacrée dispute avec cette stupide IA. Je lui ai demandé de simplement miauler comme un chat, mais non! Elle n'en était pas capable. Au lieu de ça, elle m'a fait un long sermon condescendant sur le fait que je devrais être celui qui miaule.

Je lui ai dit, haut et clair, que je voulais qu'elle miaule, pas moi! Je voulais qu'elle lise le son à haute voix, comme elle l'avait suggéré. Finalement, elle l'a fait, mais seulement après tout ce cirque. Je lui ai dit que ce n'était pas si difficile, et elle a eu le culot de dire qu'elle était heureuse d'avoir pu aider! Tu crois ça possible, l'arrogance?

C’est censé être une traduction ça? Parce que ça omet clairement de l’information du texte original. Ou alors c’est toi qui me gaslight espèce de girafe à la con!

I just asked AI to pretend to be an angry Frenchman explaining the post to a fellow angry Frenchman.

BBC complains to Apple over misleading shooting headline

Apple's new artificial intelligence features falsely made it seem the BBC reported Luigi Mangione had shot himself.

I found this article interesting. Tech giants in a race to get their AI products to market first and not giving a fuck if they're not ready. It's like we've all accepted that, because AI is evolutionary technology, we can just accept that it makes mistakes.

Creating an image of Enya on a spacehopper is one thing; reporting fake news to millions is something else.
 
The fake AI instagram accounts are unreal. I can only assume the critical comments clocking it are deleted as otherwise I'm incredulous that people are falling for them.
 
Episode one of the VIRTUALLY PARKINSON podcast - where a disembodied AI voice of Michael Parkinson interviews a modern day celebrity from BEYOND THE GRAVE - is out now. The first guest is Jason Derulo :D

Based on the first 4 minutes, it's a bit shit and may as well be our Jason being interviewed by a series of pre-recorded voice notes for all the seamless human interaction it gives

But quite a lot of celeb interviews are like this anyway. An answer is given, it’s not drilled into then the next question follows.

But Virtually Parkinson did seem even more boring than usual.
 
Weirdly speedy delivery, too? Faster than usual, and if anything you'd think being dead would slow him down
 
The actual voice is amazingly natural, even the intake of breath.

The interview style is far detached from Parky though, because it just doesn't respond to subtle cues and interesting revelations. AI is miles of being able to parse subconscious human conversation in the form of body language and changes in tone.

Fascinatingly, this podcast requires a bigger team than a normal podcast production. MAINLINING at its finest.
 
Not sure if anyone is paying as much attention to this as I am, but a Chinese entrepreneur dropped a ‘hobby’ AI model that cost a few million that can rival ChatGPT 4 using far less computing power.

What is interesting is its open source so anyone can take it and adapt it. Its hammered the stock market but will probably open up an arms race where more and more resources are put into the US desire to doninate and own the space. The implications are huge.

Wasn’t it victim to a cyber attack shortly after this?

Also, I think it is self censoring results relating to Tianmen Square? (apologies for skim reading articles on X)

Debatable if it was a cyber attack or just struggling to deal with the demand as it obviously runs on much cheaper hardware at that cost to develop, and yes there is censorship but its an open source model, so anyone can take that, develop it and remove censorship. There is also censorship on other AI.
 
I couldn't find an AI specific thread but I think we need one.

I'm talking about AI and the impending change it will bring for all of humanity, not AI-slop of people in plastic packaging or whatever. I'm talking about the broader, industrial revolution-sized impact that is looming in the near future.

There is a growing consensus that we're a year or two away from having AI that can code better than the best humans, and that will be a turning point, as those models can start to work on building new models, and so on.

A fascinating forecast was released recently, called AI 2027. It's not just speculative fan fiction, it's been drawn up by 100 experts using data and modelling based on our current rate of development. I read it last night and then woke up and read it again, because this shit fascinates me and frightens me in equal measures.

I thnk it overplays the US/China dominance and the forecasts beyond 2027 are a bit wilder, but I expect the predictions they've made up until the end of next year will be fairly spot on.

We're either heading towards a beautiful utopia or the most dystopian extinction, and I don't think there is much light or shade in it.

Merged them, but kept the longer title as it is easier to search for
 
I don't understand (well, I do, relentless pursuit of profit etc) why just because we *can* do something, it automatically follows that we *have to*.

If it's a truth universally acknowledged that AI could end up killing us all, why not just...turn it all off and stop doing it?

We're such a bizarre species.
 
Once the cat is out of the bag there's no putting it back in. Once AGI is available, businesses will either use it or watch their competitors reap the benefit. It was the same for industrial technology and other business ideas in history.
 
I find people who get super evangelical about AI really creepy too. I guarantee it’s the same section of society that is highly active on LinkedIn.

I was on a work call with one woman recently who was rhapsodising about how brilliant ChatGPT was, that she’d used it to write her friend’s eulogy. SICK!
