The jobs we hate are generally low paid. Humans are cheaper.do you know what bugs me why is it ai invading all the jobs we honestly like doing and not the jobs we hate?

but then all we will have is those and a middle class of near-mindless software with less conciseness than my big toe.The jobs we hate are generally low paid. Humans are cheaper.

no one complains about those jobs because most were back-breaking and that new jobs opened up the latter is not happening.At some point, there will be no job left at all. Whether we'll live in 3% (excellent Brazilian series) or The Culture depends on societal, not technological choices. I won't say more since this line of discussion would break the "no politics" ban on this forum.
There are fewer agricultural jobs now than in 1780 despite the increase in population, yet we don't see anyone lamenting this loss.
You can run stable diffusion locally, provided your PC is not a toaster. I've been wanting to give it a try, teach it to draw in my style, then use it to produce art in a faster fashion, so that, let's say I can actually produce a comic at a good pace. I'd be providing both the original art and do all of the corrections for the final art, this would free time to work on more elaborate sequences.no one complains about those jobs because most were back-breaking and that new jobs opened up the latter is not happening.
a social choice to make a nice world is less likely than me rolling nothing but twenties in stats generation.
but you're right we are running out of ways to keep this not being political.
anyone at least found a good ai art app as I am trying to hammer out what something would look like but I have the art ability of a apple.

Google search just identified the song was listening to on the radio. I imagine this application must have been trained on a vast set of music, or maybe it keeps a vast database of music and compares what it heard.
Is it problematic if, hypothetically, Google didn't get permission from the artists? Is it not problematic because the application is not producing anything other than an identification of the artist?

Someone laughed at this so it came up in my alerts and I made the mistake of looking at this picture again. I didn't realize when I first posted this that the abomination in the background has TEETH for the left portion of its left eye! Gah! I need to unfollow this thread for my sanity's sake.Argh! You're correct. Just tested with thisisnotaperson....

...well at least ONE of them is not a person.
There's a fine line between "artificial intelligence" and "freakish, unnatural intelligence."Someone laughed at this so it came up in my alerts and I made the mistake of looking at this picture again.

I am much more worried about AI working perfectly as intended under the control of its creators.I really don't pay enough attention to the art to manage to care, but then, I imprinted on RPGs in the 1980s.
As far as the social and economic effects of AI, I'm mostly expecting some idiot AI researchers to manage to get us all turned into paperclips, given the blatant differential in the rates of AI progress and AI alignment progress over the last ten years, and particularly given how the advancement in AI progress has come from adopting training methods that leave humans less able to understand what the AI is actually doing to produce its results.

Yep, right now most AI art (particularly fantasy art) seems off to me. Technically it looks nice, but the design is off. Now that will probably change in the future.Even if I put the important socioeconomic issues aside, though, I just don't think AI-created artwork looks all that great. Even the stuff on display in this thread, presented as examples of "the good stuff," is...only passable. At best. It doesn't do it for me.
My son is going into CS and specializing in machine learning. I feel he just might be able to monkey around with the ghost in the machine if he needs too. That, and the fact he will make a lot more money than me, make me think he will do OK. Honestly, I am more concerned about other things we (humanity) have screwed up than AI. One can live without out AI, on the other hand we are actively trying to make our planet unbearable for humanity. That has me more concerned.Everything about what they are doing with AI, everything, is problematic. I only regret that my son will have to raise children in this world, as its sure as hell not going to improve.
I mean honestly folks we are going to be just handing the keys over to tech, and we should all be aware (even if we wont admit it openly) just how risky that is at this point.
