    It’s consistently interesting to me the way that AI image generators seem to grasp the basic concept of regular repeating patterns, but inevitably get bored and start going all wibbly wobbly. The keyboard and the striped shirt are great examples; it can tell that there should be regular, parallel groups of lines, but it quickly devolves into a dementia patient trying to draw a chess board.

      Because the software doesn’t understand the concept of anything. It’s been fed a bunch images of keyboards and programmed to output an average of the images. It has no concept of a pattern or a keyboard in which to conform to something recognizable.

      Right? It’s like they get the idea that a stand in for the concept of a “pattern” should go here, but no concept of what a pattern is.

      I think the issue is the same on the text generation side, but harder to notice because it’s not an image.

      Kinda depends on the generator. I saw one the other day that was of a guy in a bedroom on an oil rig. It had an HP Chromebook on the desk. As in I was able to reverse image search it to find the brand of computer it was. The entire image was AI generated. There were a few details off, a few weird things about the image that didn’t make sense on closer inspection but by in large, it looked like a regular old selfie.

        They’ve absolutely gotten better. And I’ll caveat what I’m about to say with I’m neither a user nor a fan of AI, but people are doing real shit with it, and the only hope we have is that it will usher forward technological advancement. Obviously, I’m on Lemmy, and so what I think is that it’ll fucking doom society, but I have very left leaning friends who are also very deep in tech, and they are fully on board the AI train.

        And so I’m just some dummy, I don’t know my ass from a hole in the ground, and so at this point, and for my whole life, I guess, past, present and future, in just along for the ride, and should shit go awry, I’ll rely on the same thing man has relied on for as long as man has existed.

    “This looks shopped” to “This looks slopped” is just such an easy single-character change. And not making the effort to get six fingers on his hand is just a missed opportunity. Needs more reimagining.

    I’m surprised you can see the screen. CRTs had a tendency, because of the frame rates of the monitors and shutter rates of cameras, to just look blue.

      Is that Peter Serafinowicz? AKA the original, pre-Witwer voice of Darth Maul? AKA the live action The Tick? AKA the inventor of the Butterfield Diet Plan? It’s hard to recognize him sometimes.
