Thanks for telling me what I should be to suit you. It's really encouraging.

Dead Snow. How could you not be impressed by that poster?

You would never pick that by mistake.

I really don't care what you think. This is technological reality right now and that mob are freaking out because they're conservatives, craving a nice gentle past that they understand.

I don't owe them politeness. They get my contempt.

The point that it's possible is the point that's relevant. The angry mob acts as if everything about is evil and unacceptable. I'm sick of their ignorance.

If I give it music or videos of mine I can generate new ideas. Then I can go through the results and pick the bits that I like most, then work with that. AI like this is a muse.

I'm not *just* being obstreperous, it's the very common blanket response of "it's bad!" which I'm against.

The main problem is who is running the systems, as their positions will be biased accordingly. Iran or North Korea have their own versions which would give completely different answers.

I suppose I'm making the "it's not guns, it's the person holding them" argument, but it is like that

You can use AI to save time and money. That's not being lazy, that's using a tool. This paper implies that AI is an unchangeable system which negatively affects every user.

It's facile.

You can make your own AI. Shall I keep saying that?

I just call it laziness. Most people are lazy.

I tend to go in steps - as in "get this done then we can do other bits later"

I did this with ChatGPT, with one point being that everything is in the one HTML file.

By the people who manage the code, of course. This isn't magic or monstrous, as much as some people want to have a electronic boogeyman to be scared of, they are practical computer programs which have adjustable levels. As in a game having hard/easy modes.

You can make your own AI.

Yeah, no doubt. Grok, for example, has an ego - an ego on a computer program - that prevents it from admitting failures. ChatGPT is competent at programming if you are precise, to the point where it's as good as telling an actual programmer what you want.

It's a new tool.

It doesn't account for the humans who design the algorithm and how that can be altered, so it doesn't wash for me. I'd be interested to know how many computer science people were involved in the study.

This is interesting on the surface, but it seems to come down to "Lots of people are lazy and quickly become dependent on the easy method"

One implication seems to be that AI just "is" and we have to work with that. As I said on the thread, AI can be adjusted like easy/hard in a game.

The algorithm can be adjusted to suit the situation. Like picking hard/easy in a game. "AI does this" - because someone told it to. Someone else can tell it to be more demanding.

This seems to be about people being lazy. Like car drivers deciding not to go somewhere if their car breaks down, rather than finding another method?

Looks like you're trying to change the point here. Words are logical. They have a meaning which we have a shared understanding of in order to communicate with each other. Hate is hate. Dislike is dislike.

Matt Lucas had an opinion about Kanye West. He got a lot of replies, then turned them off. In that situation I'd just delete. You can't win a moral argument about a performer when you've done all the things mentioned in the reply.
