Boutique advantage
At the moment, text-generating AI does a nearly perfect job of expressing views that can be found via Google and Wikipedia. I’ve seen some attempts to generate “opposition” views, and they always miss the mark in the same way that Youtube’s Suggested misses the mark. Suggested has picked up the fact that I like old…

You can do better
UncommonDescent’s take on the Lawrence Livermore fusion advance: Could fusion energy be God’s design for supplying humanity’s energy needs in a future era? Come on, you can do better than that. The fusion-powered SUN is God’s design for supplying energy to life. We still haven’t turned fusion into a practical and controllable energy source, and…

Deepfake worries again
MindMatters is worrying about deepfakes again. While AI deepfakes have political ramifications (digitally cloning world leaders, creating false news, etc), the actual human qualities of our lived experience may grow ever dimmer in lieu of the metaverse and its deepfake minions. If I can choose my own virtual world, the actual created order loses its…

Getting closer
Kirn has expanded his peculiar argument against AI “art”. He’s on the angelic side of the fight, but his approach is destructive. He focuses on risk and vulnerability as the important factors that make human products human. THE PRODUCT IS NOT THE POINT. Peter Biles gets a lot closer: For me, knowing that a specific…

Waaaaay beyond quibble
Latest from Kirn: AI doesn’t suffer from impostor syndrome, nor does it ever feel suicidal, which is how one knows it isn’t sentient in any meaningful sense. It can never be human-like until it possesses the capacity to review its deeds, judge them, despair, and permanently turn itself off. This is so fucking dumb it’s…

Cheaters
Just for fun and weirdness, a couple of items about computers and cheating. = = = = = Via MindMatters, AI is not very good at catching cheaters, but it’s also not very good at cheating. Detecting cheating, at any level of education, is a bit of a cat-and-mouse game. AI, far from being a…

Age reversal
This morning I took a peek at Renderosity, my old graphics stomping grounds. Is there a new version of Poser that I can continue to reject? Apparently not. The first discussion I saw was this discovery of AI. Almost everyone seemed to be completely gobsmacked by text-to-art AI websites. One of the older guys was…

Some fishy rambling on AI
Creativity can be measured commercially. A new product gains profit when it serves some people better than an existing product. Duane Jones emphasized the need to find your niche and defend it. An older product generally broadens and simplifies to be halfway pleasing to a broad range of cultures and places and personalities, which leaves…

As usual 2
Immediately following on previous item about innocent AI. As usual, CookingFlavr.com comes through with the perfect example. How To Stop Being The Back Burner Girl? August 2, 2022 Being the “back burner” girl is one of the most common things that girls do. They put all their focus on the present and don’t think about…

As usual
As usual, Denyse at MindMatters has a funny take on AI attempting to write ad copy. AI can provide cues and alternate phrasings, but humans have to generate the ideas and select the phrases that work. As usual, Duane Jones handled this question in 1955, though not with computers in mind. (Computers were already trying…

AI comprehends comprehension
I hadn’t looked at good old CookingFlavr.com in a while. Today it’s treading into my area of partial expertise, language and speech. Quoting the definitive and authoritative definition: = = = = = There is Plenty of Evidence to Support the Claim That Solely responsible for language comprehension is a False Claim. First and foremost,…

Carrying AI in wheelbarrows
What’s going on here? This Thaler dude claims to have an AI system that creates inventions. Since 2019 he’s been filing lawsuits EVERYWHERE, from Germany to England to EU to South Africa to Australia to US. Thaler wants to be the owner of the patent himself, but wants the AI to be listed as the…

It’s not that complicated
Marks at MindMatters discusses the AI religion and overthinks the theology. Silicon Valley’s religion isn’t really AI-based, it’s just a personality cult. The company founder is God. Some founders (eg Holmes) say the words explicitly, but the form is there whether explicit or not. Older companies separated church and state. The boss was the emperor…

Two missed AI points
Not hugely important, but I’ve started this tradition and might as well maintain it. = = = = = Marks at MindMatters has a long podcast on the latest proposals and projects using AI. There are two notable missed points: = = = = = National Football League is holding a competition to develop AI…

AI does microbes
The latest Authoritative Information from CookingFlavr.com. The computer said it, I believe it, that settles it. Math is God. Can We Say That Protozoa Is Classified As Animals? There is no one answer to this question as Protozoa are classified as animals by many different sources. Some classify Protozoa as animals because they have a…
