Ah, it's ambigaus again, is it?

Trying to overcome the bias in your dataset by introducing a bias of your own won't work. You're just setting yourself up to get a ridiculously (unintentionally) racist image of an "Ethinically Ambigaus" Homer Simpson.

Edit: fixed fucked sentence. Dunno what drugs I was on when I wrote that.

It's kind of touching LLM companies are unlikely to outstand human creativity at it's worst. They just bought reddit datasets, and on reddit we saw many generations and kinds of open nazi empathisers going as far as creating 'clown world' communities where they used baby speak, were frens and felt terminally angry at 'nosy people'. And now Google still needs a lot of people to either exclude an excessive ammounts of keywords\combinations or sterilize their datasets. Good thing they can't just push the no-responsibility card and there is an outrage about copyrights and this shit. No one asked them to join that race, they get what they deserve.

Frenworl and the whole “honk honk 🤡” rhetoric was so embarrassing. It really highlighted the kind of intellect these jokers have.

Yeah, right. I think it should be placed in some Internet Museum as one of the awkwardest points of it existence. They were ready to degrade themselves to that level just to keep being idiots. Landing there from links on other subs was a journey into some weird parallel reality.

They’re a complete parody. It’s so easy to blend in with them and get them to do stupid things.

“Honk honk fren this thread is glowing. Must be from that sub! The wall is gonna be 10 feet higher now, pede! This train has no brakes. USA! Molon lube or something.”

Damn right person with a clown pfp.

I need to conserve an ideological purity of my clown craft.

There already is a plot being dug in the Google graveyard.

So is there an "AI is going just great" website yet like there is for Web3?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

AI is going great though, unlike web3. ChatGPT has already achieved mainstream adoption at a large number of major companies. And there were ads using images generated with midjourney at the super bowl.

  1. You're literally commenting on an article about AI image generation having to be shut down because it's not going well
  2. Pets.com also advertised at the Super Bowl, it doesn't mean much other than spending a lot of money
[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago

I like how you didn't respond to the points I made about either ChatGPT or midjourney. ChatGPT has a number of large corporate customers now that use it as a tool in the creation of professional products. And midjourney is still going strong and is widely used, which is why I mentioned the Superbowl.

Yes, gemini images are on pause until they fix the vulnerabilities to abuse. But I use Gemini as the engine for Google assistant on my phone now, so the service is obviously still gaining traction.

Air Canada had to shut down their AI chatbot because it was making up refund policies and costing them money.

HA. I fucking love that.

Duolingo has dropped hugely in quality (for Korean anyway) just in the last couple months. The AI-generated voices mispronounce so much stuff. I spend more time reporting unclear audio or outright mispronunciations and grammar issues than I do learning. They seem to want their users to be their QA team, but then don't even fix the reported issues. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/duolingo-lays-off-workers-as-it-leans-on-ai-tools-to-carry-out-more-tasks/ar-AA1mKgja

Poor Duolingo. Once upon a time I used it to learn Japanese, but by the time I could start reading kanji and noticed that duolingo was still constructing sentences entirely out of hiragana, I knew I had outgrown it and moved on to Anki.

Using AI to learn a new language has to be incredibly frustrating - you can either tell where's messing up, or you can't tell at all and then you learn incorrect information..
