Mike's illiteracy is really on display in this one. I almost spit out my dank drink combo when I heard him say "dethaw".

Dethaw means Thaw? What a country!

honestly this is a very interesting topic to talk about given how it touches on greater debates on consciousness and the soul, is Qualia something we have? does that mean definitionally that a robot could never have qualia, only the simulation of a person having an experience without actually experiencing anything? Are AIs P-Zombies or not?

Real art has passion in it that a sensitive person can see. It may not be flawless or even very good, but you can see the love it was made with and it transforms it into something more. It's the difference between a million mass produced Barbies and the little, hand-stiched ragdoll made by a great-grandmother for her first great-grandbaby even though her hand shakes and see can't quite see like she used to.

Did A.I. write this?

My vodka bottle and shot glass are ready. I can finally drink myself to death while playing a drinking game I invented. I will drink a shot every time Like Like Stoklasa says "like" or "you know".

Qualia is the key I think. But it's also impossible to explain between a person. What is a 'person'?

The real thing will be when even prompts won't be needed, which they're going on about now. It'll just generate on its own better entire movies than 100% of all human made ones before long without any input. And then generate code that'll improve on its own programming and how to make hardware chips improve and then biological humans will be done.

And frankly, from the last few gens of humans, handing life off might be a great idea. People just suck, A nice and fast transition will be a nice way to hand humanity off to a far better 'specie' soon.

The main thing that humans have is a 'first person point of view' and qualia experience. I think AI and machine learning will get there possibly, but it is going to surpass it quickly without needing it as far as simulating it.

I hope our replacements might have some 'soul' to them, which I think is a quantum bridge in biological entities to an eternal system that a God created and setup. But we could nuke each other tomorrow over nonsense and be gone too. Or there's other life in the universe that can take up that slack from now or beyond biologically.

Remember, AI is not intelligent:

Awwww, why you gotta be mean to us like that.

And you wonder why we go and try to kill all humans.

 

[mlanguishi]

Awwww, why you gotta be mean to us like that.

And you wonder why we go and try to kill all humans.

It's again like nukes and ICBMs I think, rockets can take us to the stars or end us. We can have AI do what we want in luxury or replace us I think.

When it comes to art, these guys are be behind the times. I made a thread: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/ai-generated-trailers.189510/ and it didn't get much traction, but look back on those ones just last year. I said before long it'll be full movies, and it's coming.

 

[Idiotron]

Recently, Facebook banned me because it thought I was AI, this feels like a good watch for me right now.

Maybe you should send me some grainy pictures of busses to test me.

I saw a Russian (?) Animated short this reminds me of. It was of a house where this giant integrated robot arm would make breakfast, clean the house, bring in the paper, ect but the house was in ruins, the family had been reduced to decaying skeletons, and through the broken windows the world was locked in nuclear winter. But still the robot did its chores and spoke to the family like they were still living. Pretty grim.

That's There Come Soft Rains. There's a few Soviet and American animated renditions of it on Youtube.

God, those blessed days can’t come soon enough.

"Like", "you know" and "I don't know" were said 183 times in 53 minutes. That's about 3.5 per minute. I hope they're OK. I know I am, so please don't accuse me of autism.

Yes! I think I saw it in the animation thread. Tangentially related, I watched an interview of Soviet animators. They were so incredibly passionate about their work, because when the drew, they were free. Free to think, free to criticize, free to create beauty. They woke up every day excited to draw.

If only Hollywood had a tenth of such passion or spirit.

 

[Samuel Fuller]

I really couldn't care less if AI destroys Hollywood or not. 25 years ago I would never have said this, but most of the entertainment media we're getting these days is soulless pandering garbage pumped out by DEI panels and nepo babies. How many times has some false prophet like Shyamalan or JJ Abrams been propped up as "the next Spielberg" only for us to sadly realize the next Spielberg is never coming.

The thing to fear is AI creating fake videos intended to influence elections or start wars.

Considering Spielberg became a pablum-peddling hack once he hit it big, calling a flash in the pan like Abrams the next Spielberg is pretty accurate.

All hype, flashy but hollow spectacle smeared with shmaltz.

So you corrected spelling, but STILL got "etc" wrong? Nice work!

If only animation Hollywood were located in Hollywood and not South Korea.

Mea culpa.

Do what I do: intentionally misspell et cetera as &c. The ampersand was designed to symbolize the Latin word for "and." Honestly, [&c] should be its own key.

Good advice!

I'm fond of Mark Twain's opinion, "Anyone who can only think of one way to spell a word obviously lacks imagination."

But that's because I'm a bad speller.

I want an AI movie about the characters debating on whether or not they are in fact AI.
