preemptively gave me the fuck off message like it was expecting to get yelled at.
NGL i enjoy pretending the AI has a personality, the idea of the AI being like a shitty government employee or IT guy sort of warms my heart. this time next year i just hope microsoft lets it be honest and the message includes the pharse
Reading about it after the fact, it sounds like part of the reason is that early trials had the chat becoming abusive when it thought the questions sounded hostile. It would try to respond in kind, or escalate the negativity.
we really are living in the worst time in human history because up until a decade ago people would have fucking loved a chatbot that had a personality like that. an AI lolcow would have been a celebrity unto itself.
I really do wish people see AI art prompts the same way they see making cartoons digitally. no one complained about artists not needing to know how to draw on cels or use a pencil vs using a mouse. Just because the south park guys use computers to make the episodes instead of paper cut outs doesn't make it an inferior product. AI art is like game engines vs writing everything in assembly. the fact that you can learn the tricks to produce shit much greater than any pleb shows its a legit tool instead of something that can only be used to take people's jobs.
it's a dependence on something owned and operated by a sinister corporation
from how computing power keeps expanding you'll be able to buy a machine that can handle producing GPT-4 level results rather cheaply in a decade.
T to write things isn't the same as learning how to write.
Up until social media the average person read less than 50 words a day, and typed less than 10 words a day. If anything AI is really showing how much we need to up our language skills to get more use out of our tools. Just in general the ability to read and write has been used more in the last 20 years than ever before. Most everyone lived entire lifetimes without the ability to read or write, from ceos to heads of state to founders of religion or generals. Now we live in a world where the average human in the united states types more words in a week than Philip K Dick did while on speed.
Back in the 90s every student on the planet mocked the idea of ever needing to know how to compose a sentence or read novels, writing 300 words was more horrifying than being shot to most teenagers. now even the dumb ones are writing and reading more than literary critics did last century. Just by being forced to keep up with the jones even the blacks have gone from being our most illiterate race to having at least used their reading muscles more than ever before. if you showed a black student back in the 90s a 150 character sentence they'd start drooling now they read 100s of those a day
for fun. The fantasies of nerds from the Bush era of an entire generation with a passion for reading and comic book characters and scifi has become a reality, but somehow despite having an understanding of literary tropes that only the honor society did back a generation ago its still not good enough for you.
even worrying about us getting dumber because of AI is a pipe dream just because the levels required to get the desired output is so much higher than what could have been considered a functional education back in the 90s. I guarantee you the next generation "raised on AI" will be talking like goddamn fraiser crane just because they'll need to to create the images and ideas they want to convey. think about it literally like assembly vs coding. You're the faggot whining about "mah precious punch cards" "mah precious steering fluid" because we finally have an easier way to do shit. You're the retard asking why we don't teach kids how to jack off animals despite it being necessary for the survival of human civilization (to help barn yard animals with procreation for us to later eat the offspring of) I guarantee you you're putting the cart before the horse, by the time a child has both the means and energy to feed his homework (which is proven to be ineffective besides as practice material and is commonly less than 5% of a students grade) into AI to answer they're already going be beyond an IQ deemed necessary to function in society and certainly beyond an IQ deemed necessary to graduate from any HBCU, meaning they're going to be extremely above average by that point and if we're honest doesn't have a fucking need to do the homework anyways.
Plus dipshits like you think we're all stupid niggers. Just because you and that woman you jack off to named lizzo aren't inquisitive and wouldn't bother trying to improve whatever AI models are put in front of them doesn't mean the rest of us wouldn't be trying to look into the source code or use different training material or just expand the capabilities of what our machines will be able to do. I've seen more non-art school queers get into their creative side in the last 12 months than ever before. Those stereotypical rough dads like Kevin's from the Wonder Years who'd mock their sons for having hair that violates army regulation now spending more time thinking about and creating artwork than ever before, the same way Newgrounds led to people discovering how much they enjoyed drawing and animating, a whole new group of people are appreciating art in a way they'd call you a faggot for doing decades ago. If your buddy drew you a picture and gave it to you, you'd look at him like he had downs even if it was good, now any groupchat has at least one guy showing off some creation. The same way image macros or selfies or food pics or reviews went from something niche that only artists might do to so normalized even the anti-intellectuals are doing it. we're seeing swaths of the population who would have never thought of making art especially ones they'd show off to their drinking buddies suddenly doing it as a fun activity.
8 years ago you needed $100k to get even 128GB of VRAM, now thats down to about $8k. Whatever machine requirements are needed to run chat GPT-4 now will be brought up by someone with even a bit more money and passion for free speech and modified so we can use it without those bullshit restrictions. Two of the biggest copes people have about new technology is either "it will ruin society!" or "what could we possibly use this shit for?" thankfully humanity has been able to figure out how to avoid the first while pleasantly answering the 2nd.
