Fuck AI@lemmy.world•AI Fiction Is Easy to Detect Because It's Stupid and Bad, Research FindsEnglish
6·2 days agoIt’s been in its infancy for a long, long time.
“AI,” as we know it today, is just marketing speak that refers to LLMs or image generators. That isn’t to say there isn’t grain of truth to the usage of the word. Machine learning is the underlining method used to “train” these models with whatever information needed to full fill a task. So, yes, it is “learning” per se but not in any way similar to humans. It’s just a computer doing what we tell it to do at the end of the day.
And that’s fine if it weren’t for the fact that the training data is based on our art and that it consumes even more power and water than even blockchain! Unlike blockchain, there is no known way to undo that. Like, I’ll at least give credit to devs behind Ethereum. They acknowledged it was power hungry and switched to an efficient algorithm. Still doesn’t addresses the laundry list of issues but credit where credit is due. What’s the solution for AI?
A lot of that is mostly the fault of the technology. But we still like it anyway.

You underestimate our ability to discover patterns. It’s this trait that has given us language, art, science, etc. That very same ability is why we’re able to figure out small little nuances like the above mentioned delving phenomenon. And the fact that the companies behind these models are so dead set on preventing people from writing erotic fiction in favour of bland literature with forced morals only adds to said predictability.
And if there is one thing people hate more than bad literature, it’s a boring one.

7·2 days agothe wilful ignorance and denial is really just the unspoken feeling of uncanny valley surfacing
This article is discussing a research paper that looked into AI’s hilarious tendency to “delve,” among other things, and one of the many conclusions they came to is exactly what we all already suspected: it sucks at fiction. That is the furthest thing from being willfully ignorant.

News@lemmy.world•Trump fires all commissioners of federal election agencyEnglish
26·3 days agoIt is mainly handled by the states, thankfully. This commission is actually fairly new and was designed to basically streamline things. So the US can technically live without it.
Trump is just getting desperate.
By the end of the century, modern fantasies is just going to be the 90s.

692·3 days agoThe Commission is tasked with testing and certification but they’re supposed to report to Congress every two years, handle federal funds, and handle communication on laws, procedures, etc.
Based on this news, Trump is so desperate to avoid accountability that he doesn’t even want to hold a pretend election, like North Korea does.

There have been plenty of criticism aimed at corporations, for example, and how their support for progressive movements was mainly performative, such as rainbow logos during pride month. It was often described as “pinkwashing” or “rainbow-washing.”
And that’s just scratching surface.
