A.I. (general thread for any AI-related topics)

Here’s a discussion on the subject

You have to be specific when asking about a written word strawberry. When pronounced it only has two r but written it has three r. Because English language likes to be awkward that way. Binary language doesn't mess about like that.
 
Can we assume that the AI is completely unaware of the month, Vigintiber...?

It's not strange at all. Until they discover otherwise, people have a tendency to believe that something does what it says on the box.

The problem is that too many creators and/or marketers of new things seem addicted to (often grossly) over-promising and mislabeling. They are to blame for calling something intelligent** when it is not intelligent at all.

One cannot blame the person in the street for noticing the promise in the name is not being met... or, alternatively, for sometimes believing the often nonsense output of so-called AIs.


** - Calling it artificial intelligence is not really a clue to its lack of intelligence.

This is true. It is neither 'intelligent' nor 'stupid', as it lacks the functionality to qualify for either status.
 
AI will teach us (again) the garbage in = garbage out truism... also the you are what you eat one. Base AI on information from people who think they're smarter then they actually are and you will get similar intelligence just 'artificial'. The truly wise have some grasp of what they don't, and also can't, know! Is AI ever allowed to say it doesn't know?

Exciting times for folk with mobility issues. I think things like this might help immensely (as well as helping hikers).

Yes they've had ones for some time to assist with skiing (called SkiMojo) but no intelligence; just a spring assist to your knee flexing. This however is meant to learn how you move and anticipate how you will next move. fascinating stuff. But not cheap :oops:
 
It slips up on the milkmaid's milk but overall reality is going to face a difficult future.

According to the article No AI prompt can replace visiting the museum experience. I don't know about that. People are video crazy and if allowed to watch a static painting come to life, or rather a bunch of paintings, watching it on a 4 billion K big screen tv, they might like it better. Or anything that amplifies the picture for that matter.

It wasn't easy. The pair crafted the Vermeer reboot by inputting more than 1,000 text prompts about the precise placement and physical aspect of figures and objects.

"We just need to keep in mind that it should be used in a meaningful way and ensure that there are still creative people directing the A.I., and not the other way around." ...it won't be creative people directing the AI, more like mid level managers carrying on upper level instructions..., and the not the other way around bit, such wishful thinking.
 
Speaking as a philistine when it comes to art appreciation, I think it would be difficult to recreate the museum experience in any electronic form. I visited the Hermitage museum in St Petersburg many years ago and two (of the thousands) of the paintings on display left me in awe.

The first was the Rembrandt that had been attacked a few years earlier with sulphuric acid and a knife. It had only recently gone back on display. There was also a large display of the different restoration and repair techniques used. The skill of the restorers was simply incredible but I found that if you looked at it from just the right angle, you could just make out tiny discrepancies.

The second was the very first time I ever saw a Van Gough and what struck me was the thickness of the oil on the canvas. Up close, it looked almost abstract but, as you pulled away, the whole picture began to reveal itself. The thickness of the oils gave it an almost three dimensional depth that somehow added to the beauty of the work.

It was humbling to stand beside these creations and to know that, in both cases, genius guided the hands that created these masterpieces from nothing more than oil and canvas and, in the case of the Rembrandt, how incredibly skilled and dedicated people could restore and save a work that had been so badly damaged in an act of violence.

There was something very special about standing next to these exhibits and I’m not sure that viewing these in 4k or whatever could ever move me as much as it did seeing them for real.
