Old man doesn't understand how technology progresses. Tonight at 10pm.
It's hilarious to me that young people think "AI" is intelligent or good at what it does. It's a fucking toy. I've made my own little GANs and Markov chains and the are thousands of empty little parlor tricks we've invented to separate the young from their money.
I saw a thread where a few zoomers were going wild over an AI loli generated porn image that looked like an animal balloon, all oiled and shiny, vagina sideways, face of an eight year old smiling for a school photo, huge veiny cocks blasting gallons of cum onto a tiny kawaii face:
"Omg so fucking hot 🥵 I'm fucking diamonds!"
Your dumb ass will be listening to a "song" simulacrum constructed out of 100,000 product jingles and Max Martin B-sides, jacking off to deranging porn, having full blown emotional conversations with bots and crying when that bot's creator gets busted for CP.
Anyone listening to false music that's overly Fourier transformed, with impossible instrument voices and chords that make it unlistenable to actual musicians and then trying to make people feel ashamed for having a soul is just waving a massive red flag for everyone to see that says "I have no idea what it means to be a human with skin in the game".
That movie Demolition Man totally called it in the 90s btw that not only would you all be listening to commercial jingles all the time but defending them and singing their "lyrics" loudly.
Thank you for loudly identifying yourself as yet another Elon-like who thinks they know so much more than Barack fucking Obama. You and yourself should get a room and listen to that shit all day and see who you become. If you can't create your own, you kids will get the "art" you deserve and it will cost A LOT 😂
Following for the laughs!
This post is disturbing and weird, you have a very odd and creepy view of the world.
Obama is just a random person voicing a safe and middle of the road politically neutral option in response to a boring question, I wouldn't put too much stock in his kneejerk responce to a new technology.
Anyway all I wanted to ask is what do you mean by it costing A LOT? The price of creating media has fallen insanely in the last five decades and is only continuing to plumet - processor power likewise, it's very likely we'll be able to not just run the models on consumer graphic cards as we can now but run them as background processes on our phones without noticing slowdown. Just like all other modern content we're going to see the free stuff that people make and share displace the hacky old corporate stuff - people that like history documentaries don't watch history channel they which YouTube and a couple of ken Burns level creations, same with science and tech and so many other types of content.
When a kid in their bedroom can make a movie that looks as good as marvel and has a powerful soundtrack that carries the action and moves the heart no one is going to care if they created the music in a weekend talking to AI or hired a generic studio musician to string together some standard progressions and pachelbell melodies - likely they'll prefer the ai output anyway because it'll fit the artist vision more than a hired chord ever could.
There are going to be creative geniuses that use AI to make amazing things and at some point you're just going to have to accept that.
