People who don’t have a good grounding in how neural networks work find things like this phenomenon more meaningful than it is. Along with language and math literacy we need to be teaching people machine learning literacy and getting the word “intelligence” out of the vernacular when describing machine learning/neural networks.
ML/NN’s: Powerful technology we need to be cautious about? YES, same as nuclear power. Somehow deeply meaningful, tapping into something more than an absorption of what humans have generated and posted to the internet? NO.
Like with film photography, radio etc., the first thing people do with it is try to find a bridge between this world and next, or explain artifacts of its (mis)use as evidence of the paranormal. It goes a way with more familiarity. Noone would use a fogged film exposure from radiation or a light leek now as evidence of paranormal. People still try to push rolling shutter artefacts that way though.
Completely agree! "Intelligence" when related to AI is more like a general category that became kind of mainstream to include "fancy technological stuff I don't want to understand".
I’ve studied Computing at degree level and had a career in digital art and photography for nearly 30 plus years. In that period of time l haven’t seen the advent of any kind of sentient Ai (it’s all a myth to sell new tech to the consumer). A form of interesting yet basic Ai exists in the gaming world (any major break throughs in Ai development will be in this area)🤔
"AI Illustrator"? FML . I've spent 40 years perfecting my craft and learning how to draw, compose, render images that convey stories and themes and now over the last two years, suddenly that's meaningless because somebody is using keywords on a high tech collage app.
Anyone else notice that most of this "art" has a lot of similarities to art made by psychopaths and serial killers? If that is a guide for if and when AI actually does gain sentience, if ever, humanity is screwed.
I’m on a professional photographers and creatives website. I recently received a email from the company stating it will not be accepting or posting ‘Ai’ generated submissions. This is a good ruling and a small win for real world creators that have learned thoroughly and arduously their artistic craft over many years of toil. 🤔
I wish some publications had as much prohuman integrity. So far I've seen 3 different instances from major publishers using MidJourney imagery for editorial illustrations instead of the ADs hiring a Human illustrator to make a far better, more suitable illustration.
We can thank cheap ass accounting department decisions for this.
Sidelining pure human creativity is insidious as it is dangerous. In the end to really crack AI that scientific community will need to truly understand human creativity (which goes beyond trying to merely copy it in software code)🤔
I wasn’t surprised by the imagery generated. The lighting on Loab’s face makes her look like she could be dead to an unsophisticated AI that can’t ascertain that the lighting is poor and the person just has inflammation not blood on her face. And adding a celestial picture implies death. So now the AI generator knows this is about death and gives macabre pictures of dead people that resemble Loab. AI isn’t very smart.
Ai isn’t smart at all. In fact it doesn’t really exist. At the moment it attempts to utilise vast databases of content while making random and senseless associations not based on any emotional real world experiences 🤔 Current ‘Ai’ cannot even be classed as a proficient expert system!

Found the spoilsport!
Sorrry! Lol.

Well said and very true.

The images are reminiscent of the 80s TV show "Spitting Image"

man i do not like where we are headed as a species with AI at all
AI meets Ozzie!
