Streisand effect in action. I am never going to buy anything Nintendo, because they're a dog-shit company. I hadn't realised a Switch emulator existed. Andddd... My wife would really like to play Pikmin 4.

Isn't DRG:Survivors by a different developer - not Ghost Ship Games?

Fair enough; I don't know enough about it.

Does my point still stand up though? It requires a human to tweak these things - to prompt. The 'AI' isn't imagining it up on its own.

Yet the OP comment is literally using past performance as a 'both sides' argument.

Can't have it both ways.

Define art, though.

As it stands neural networks and LLMs can't do it, because they lack imagination. A human can use it as tool to make art though, and we don't have these silly kinds of conversations about photoshop (anymore!).

As for the OP, you've taken it a bit more literally and reacted a bit more defensively than I think is warranted. The point is about our systems priorities, not so much the specifics.

Got vehemently disagreed with, without counter-argument, for making the point that 'AI' art already requires a decent amount of human input and knowledged tinkering to get an adequate result.

I, for example, can't sit down and make Midjourney output a human with only five fingers per hand. I'm sure I wouldn't have to look too hard to find a tutorial on how to solve that hurdle, and the effort is no doubt a lot less than painting it myself. But my point stands that 'AI'/LLMs aren't doing diddly useful squat on their own and won't be for a while because so far they just do not understand abstract reasoning and so need humans to accommodate that element.

I recall an excellent article that pointed out 'AI' doesn't understand a prompt that says 'no giraffes' because people do not label every image on the internet that does not contain giraffes with 'no giraffes'.

So, waffle coming to a close, I absolutely agree with you. As it stands - and likely for a long while yet - 'AI'/LLMs are just a tool that can be helpful to artists in certain situations.

The point of the OP microblog still stands though; our system prioritises made up money trees over actual human life.

Thanks :) not seen Cotswold Crunch in store.

Tried again today. 🎵*Every loaf is different...*🎵

I think you're overstating the significance of those edits and comments.

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same for Voyager, Thunder, and Jerboa. Can't work out which one to go to.

It's not free. We pay for the NHS through tax. It's free at the point of use.

This is a seemingly perfect dandy stance to take, right up until you can't afford private health care and then you're the victim of medical negligence.
