That's exactly what sensational language is... Language meant to excite and entice the reader without respect to the accuracy of what's being reported. It only became clickbait when we started clicking on things to read them instead of picking up a newspaper.
When you see ai-related stories just remember: we're currently living through what, in another 10 or 20 years, will be remembered as the takeoff of AI. Wherever it goes, either heavily regulated or widespread, AI is only going to get exponentially better and it won't just be artists crowing about losing their jobs to it.
Not necessarily. Generative AI hasn't been advancing as much as people claim, and we are getting into the "diminishing returns" phase of AI advancement. If not, we need to switch gears in our anti-AI activism
Yep. IMO it'll be kinda like VR. AI will sort of plateau for awhile until they find a new approach and then the hype will kick up again. But the current approach won't scale into true AI. It's just fundamentally flawed.
It's all about the models and training, though. People thinking ChatGPT 3.5/4 can write their legal papers get tripped up because it confabulates ('hallucinates') when it isn't thoroughly trained on a subject. If you fed every legal case for the past 150 years into a model, it would be very effective.
It will start to get wild when it’s attorneys, paralegals, accountants, actuaries, software developers, designers, journalists, engineers, medical technicians… what’s left after that? Physical labor, skilled mechanical labor, politics and religion?
I agree, AI is just a tool like any other. People freaked out the same way when electricity was supplied to cities for the first time, or when computers started becoming popular.
I honestly expected better from a more tech oriented social media platform.
i just hope regular people can use decent quality ai freely in future. its great equalizer since as long as someone in the world has been able to do something you can kind of do it too with ai.
Again, using audio AI to copy a real voice is kinda dumb. Like using image AI to draw real actors, playing characters... instead of just drawing the fucking character.
This tech would let one actor do all the characters. Like how audiobooks work - except you'd get the actor's performance in the character's voice. Stephen Fry doing Snape (behave) may sound like Alan Rickman, but only if Alan Rickman is how Snape's supposed to sound.
The only reason for him to sound exactly like that is if that's what people already think he sounds like. New characters, or newly-adapted characters, can sound however you want. This technology will let anybody play them.
You don't have to be the world's most accomplished voice actor with 500 unique voices in your repertoire to be a good DM. Even if you just have a default "NPC" voice that's different than your DM-ing voice, most players are fine with that. No need to bring in bullshit AI into the game. DnD players got along fine for decades without it.
Fuck it. AI isn't going to go away. Companies are going to keep putting these voicebots of famous people out. The only response is to splinter the entertainment industry. Get SAG and the WGA on the horn. They fucked up the negotiations with the MPAA and didn't outright ban AI. Those unions need a new deal.
Yep, sure, let's just get WGA, who spent the last year and a half protesting and negotiating contracts, on the horn to do that exact thing over again. I'm sure they'll get right on that!
