"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Slop machines have more in common with tracing than with learning.

You can hate the output, you can hate copying the IP, you can hate the people involved, but the process is nothing like tracing. It's closer to black fucking magic :)
It's not magic.
You're in a cult.
It's closer to black magic than tracing. It's really closer to sculpting. You take a machine, show it a few million pictures of dogs to teach it what dogs look like, then hand it a big block of white noise and ask it to show you a dog. It then carves away all the parts it doesn't think look like dog, repeats until the result doesn't change much and shows you the dog it essentially hallucinated out of the noise.
funny, I didn't feel like a kettle this morning.
anyway have a good one
