Someone on linkedin shared this paper, when I said that the data was unethically sourced https://news.mit.edu/2022/synthetic-data-ai-improvements-1103 It doesn't seem that Open AI's source is synthetic, honestly the whole situation would have been less controversial if they had simply approached artists for training data…
@Tiles : I would say that you explaining your actual intent with your use of this tech is far more conductive to discussion than any earlier Photoshop analogy or attempts at anthropomorphizing (right word ?) the tech. So, this tech using/relying on millions of images without consent (regardless of this practice being…
What I think is, current business owners will simply use AI to make the decisions, however they'll still want their cut of millions of dollars. This will continue to drive poor decision making, and the basic pleb will see no benefit whatsoever. It's to be expected that new tech, regardless of positive potential, is…
I think the one thing that is missing from the people thinking only in "tech terms" is the fact that just because something is now possible to do, doesn't mean that it is "too late to stop it" and that it is the new normal. For instance in France there is a law from 2017 that stipulates that a photograph of a person used…
"People will not become dumber because the tool does more work that used to be human done" Well ... https://twitter.com/Rahll/status/1724532529875562684 If anything, the only new thing that is likely to happen ... is Art Directors flat out refusing to hire anyone using "generative AI" in their process - because they know…
Well Napster was out for quite a while before the lawsuits came rolling. And the world didn't need the DMCA either - until we did. It takes a while for laws to catch up to new tech. A single artist dedicating their life to imitate Van Gogh is flattering. But AI that can do this in a matter of seconds with every artist on…
You're mixing things up again. The AI-fying done on the drawing with the red background is of course a different thing altogether from the topic of data collection/scraping without consent for the fabrication of a latent diffusion model. Many would indeed agree that the "tool" is not responsible for what this AI-Jerk did…
There's nothing to really gain by embracing AI in the way the tech bros are marketing right now. Ultimately whatever you accomplish easily gets drowned out by the glut of prompt typers. And at every step along the way a well trained artist will still coax out better work from it and be able to process the output in a…
The thing I find fascinating about this collage presentation ... is just how boring and uninteresting it is. And by that I don't mean the images themselves, which are fine ; but the whole process involving AI and successive "revisions", which evokes no curiosity or wonder or sense of satisfying hard work whatsoever. Not to…
I Was just playing the recently released translation + voiceover patch, and the opening made me more hype for it than any recent CG "cinematic trailer" (AI or otherwise) could ever do :) I also think that this game in general is a perfect demonstration of how there is really never a need for more and more resources being…
