idk if it does. well maybe most of it does, but there are some examples of some very good stuff, stuff that at least looks like something a human could/would have made

stable diffusion and whatever else that came out in 2012 really opened some floodgates and all of a sudden the enthusiasts really ran with it and they’ve been the ones who have managed to drive it harder and faster and the output can be pretty convincing

i mean honestly, how often are things completely invented from the ground up? mashing together existing things in new combinations is probably most of originality anyway

I often agree, but I think this is a case of seeing enough of it to get a human intuition for how it's off

I suspect if someone went back in time 10 years it would be nearly indistinguishable from contemporary digital art, I doubt people would question the integrity of the person producing it, but if we're talking about AI stuff from even 2 years ago? yeah that definitely looked wrong in a fundamental way


thing is, AI approaches human skill in a way that our intuitions don't serve us very well as far as judging it goes, I don't think it's reasonable to make assumptions about it's lack of ability because we really haven't seen what it's gonna be able to do, it's such an unknown.



even if AI can't do anything better than a human, it can certainly learn from the best human in every domain to become quite superhuman in it's totality of capabilities

**The debate continues for several more minutes, with each person becoming increasingly hostile towards the other two. Eventually, the Linux user says, "You're just a sheep! You're too afraid to break free from the corporate overlords!"

**The Mac user responds, "You're just a pretentious nerd! You think you're better than everyone else because you use Linux!"

**The Windows user chimes in, "You're both wrong! The best operating system is the one that works best for you! There's no need to be so hostile!"

**The Linux user rolls their eyes and says, "Whatever. You're both just fanboys."

**The Mac user scoffs and says, "At least we're not using that piece of garbage Windows."

**The Windows user smirks and says, "At least we're not stuck with that overpriced Mac."

The three people continue to bicker back and forth, each one more convinced than ever that they are right.

**As they walk away, the Linux user turns to the Mac user and says, "I bet you wish you had a real computer."

**The Mac user scoffs and says, "I bet you wish you could afford a real computer."

**The Windows user laughs and says, "You two are both losers."

The three people continue to walk away, each one more convinced than ever that they are right.

YOSPOS is an acronym for "Your Opinion Sucks, Please Overshare." It is a term used on the website Something Awful to express disapproval of a user's opinion. The term was coined by Jeffrey of YOSPOS, a former moderator of the site who purchased it from its founder in 2020.

YOSPOS is typically used in a humorous or ironic way, but it can also be used to express genuine frustration or anger. The term has become a popular way to dismiss or belittle someone's opinion, and it is often used in online discussions.

Here are some examples of how YOSPOS can be used:

"Your opinion on this topic is YOSPOS."
"I'm not interested in hearing your YOSPOS opinion."
"Please stop with the YOSPOS."
If you are ever unsure whether or not to use the term YOSPOS, it is best to err on the side of caution and avoid using it. The term can be offensive to some people, and it is not always appropriate to use in all situations.

YOSPOS: Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Windows is a piece of software that is so bad, it's good. It's like a train wreck that you can't look away from. Every time you use it, you're guaranteed to have a new and exciting experience.

Here are just a few of the things that make Microsoft Windows so great:

• It's constantly crashing.
  
• It's full of viruses and malware.
  
• It's slow and unresponsive.
  
• It's ugly and outdated.
  
• It's expensive.

But despite all of its flaws, people still love Microsoft Windows. Why? Because it's just so much fun to use. It's like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.

So if you're looking for a computer operating system that is guaranteed to provide you with hours of entertainment, then Microsoft Windows is the perfect choice for you. Just don't say we didn't warn you.

ask it how much a half figgie is

quote:

According to some sources, “half a figgie” is a term used by some YOSPOS users to refer to a seven-day probation from posting on the Something Awful forums. It is derived from the card game Figgie, where players buy and sell suits of cards. A “figgie” is a term for a full suit of cards, and “half a figgie” is half of that, or five cards. The term is used sarcastically to mock users who get probated for breaking the rules or arguing with moderators.

i haven't looked at bing, but surely there's a way to side step the safety model. a lot of these will run your prompt through a safety model in parallel with the generative model via separate http request. might be able to construct a request to query only the generative model.

nudgenudgetilt posted:

eh, it's hard to run these models without doing safety checks. even when they're working great they'll sometimes churn out some wild poo poo. we have one model at work recently that broke down in a pretty spectacular manner. it would have a few turns of conversation with you... then just start saying "cumcumcumcumcumcumcumcumcumcumcumcumcumcumcum"
