Machine learning for helping a radiologist analyze images is super helpful and a mature field.

Whatever "AI" LLM nonsense tech bros are trying to add in to everything in the last 2 years is probably not all that helpful, but i could be proven wrong

I have always used conversation view in my desktop email client. Not sure why you think this is revolutionary or exclusive to gmail.

Sorry, my comment wasnt really directed at you specifically.... Just the fediverse general hate for all things AI

yours was the first that mentioned "art" which triggered me, lol

I think we are actually both on the same page... You have a reasonable view of the whole AI thing. It's rare on lemmy/mastodon

LLMs and image generating models are completely different things. Outputting an image doesnt require or benefit from reason and logic (other than making the model "understand" the prompt). Drawing a three headed monkey isnt "logical" and doesnt follow "reason" but that's ok because art isnt about making photorealisitic images.

AI images could totally be useful as a tool in art. "But a computer made it! It's not art!" It's the same tired argument we heard about electronic music before.

But the fediverse seems to have such a hate boner for ANYTHING associated with AI (dont get me wrong, there is lots to hate. Mostly with tech-bro grifting...) that people are unable to see that these can be useful complements to human creativity.

Here's another example... People crying that when an image contains AI generated elements, or maybe a video game contains some AI assets. People fly into a rage and want to dismiss the ENTIRE work and throw it all out. Human art doesnt require 100% human hands to make. Go look at any famous painting by a renaissance master. Did you know a lot of these guys had whole workshops of lackeys filling in background details for them? Are we going to throw out all the raphael and rembrandt paintings because they had assistance from other uncredited people?

Same with AI. Why cant an artist spend MORE time on important details and let AI draw some happy little trees in the background?

Signal is fine for almost everyone unless you're truly doing dangerous work in a truly oppressive state.

I'm so tired of everyone telling others not to use signal because it uses phone numbers. Everyone in here acting like they're mr. Robot or something.

Anonymity is not the same as privacy. Privacy is good enough for me

New text to speech models are incredible these days...

Again, we shouldnt replace actual voice actors for main dialog. But for generating thousands of lines of background chatter (which nobody would have time or resources to make anyway) LLM writing paired with text to speech could really help flesh out a living game world

I dont think LLMs will or should replace properly written dialogue.

Where they would shine is just generating inane background chatter. So instead of hearing an NPC say "i took an arrow to the knee", or "jesus christ be praised! Henry's come to see us!" 300 times, an LLM could generate some short one liners that are a bit more dynamic. It would go a long way to making the world feel more alive.

AI is fine if you know what you're doing and can correct the mistakes it makes (i.e. use it as fancy code completion)

I'm not a developer and i havent touched code for over 10 yrs, but when i heard about my company pushing AI tools on the devs, i thought exactly what you said. It should be a tool for experienced devs who already know what they're doing....

Lo and behold they did the opposite... They fired all the senior people and pushed AI on the interns and new grads.... and then expected AI to suddenly make the jr devs work like the expensive Sr devs they just fired...

Wtf

Doesnt mean it's dead. Some projects are in maintenance mode

How many new features does a bible need???

AndBible updated 2 months ago for me on f-droid

The github doesnt look dead to me

These things are programmed by impatient, wreckless, human, drivers.....

I cant believe they allow these things on our roads as a public beta test.

Just dont connect it to the internet.

That's what i do with my OLED screen. It acts as a monitor for my HTPC. I dont use any of the apps on the TV

My niece has an old iphone with no SIM/phone number. Only wifi internet access.

Looking for an app for both of us to be able to chat

She cant chat with me over signal because no phonee number. She chats with the rest of the family over imessage, but i have an android phone

Is there an app available for both android and iphone to let me chat with her?

Thanks

Edit: willing to self-host for extra privacy. My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels
