Yes, but how many Ads for (Car Brand) do I need to see before I'll buy a vehicle from (Car Brand)?

It's not AI, it's an LLM. It doesn't know what misinformation is because it doesn't Know anything

I'm absolutely looking for a real answer, not here to downvote or troll.

When you say "the tech is useful" I don't see it that way from my perspective because I can't think of any specific scenarios for this tech to prove valuable to me, in terms of the way that I interface with an OS.

What I'm hoping for from you is a Use Case; what specific application of this tech would you, the End User, find to be a vast improvement in the way that you interface with Windows?

I'm not going to downvote you, because I'm genuinely curious: Why would this be a "very important can't-live-without feature", what's the argument?

Because from where I'm sitting as a user of various Windows & Linux products for several decades, this has never been anything I've asked for or needed, let alone wanted to take up >20Gb of my hard drive space. What is the Use Case sales pitch that convinced you?

You need to rethink your social media strategy, and please leave Lemmy alone.

You need to go back to the drawing board and rethink your marketing strategy, and please leave Lemmy alone.

You need to rethink your marketing strategy, and then having thought about it, stop posting on Lemmy.

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

That was exactly my first thought too

Depends on complexity and the number of elements to keep track of, and varies between models and people. Try it out for yourself to see! :)

It lacks cohesion the longer it goes on, not so much "hallucinating" as it is losing the thread, losing the plot. Internal consistency goes out the window, previously-made declarations are ignored, and established canon gets trounced upon.

But that's cuz it's not AI, it's just LLM all the way down.

While your points about the patronage system and its weaknesses are valid, you're writing off several centuries worth of legitimate human endeavor because the systems that enabled it were dodgy. Guess what though? That's literally all of history, dodgy AF, featuring an intrepid cast of characters more awful the deeper you look. That doesn't make the art or music worth writing off though.

But honestly:

What is interesting though is the fact that AI art, and the LAION-5B dataset used to train the models is a true and earnest reflection of sorts of what images today really are

"Earnest" is definitely not the word you're looking for. Derivative, maybe, because you said it yourself, they're reflections; and as such, they're going to reflect what images of today are; like you said. That makes them derivative, and I feel a vast artificiality that makes my heart sink when I look at the vast majority of them.

Choosing machine-created art over historical art is choosing a passing fad over centuries of culture. It's your right; but to write off history with a wave of the hand means you're missing out on truly expanding your horizons.
