Tbh, the most surprising thing about this trend is how long it took to be.

This is an insult to life itself.

Every AI studio ghibli meme is another sign of how useless open AI is

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

I cannot tell that this is AI. I thought it was a human's work. I don't believe this is AI. If this is AI, then I have to admit that AI is better than I thought -- not sure why you'd say it's useless.

This is absolutely AI generated, friend.

Downvoting not because I disagree with you, but because you provide no evidence.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Sure, let me believe you, a random person on the internet. In all seriousness, I could believe either way, but you just saying that without any explanation is pretty useless.

It has to do with the "flatness" of the general composition. It reeks of AI. A human usually needs to intervene to prevent that.

Are you happy now?

It would really suck if they used AI to make this.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Narrator: they used generative models to make this.

PS, AI doesn't exist

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'd like to out-pedant you: General AI doesn't exist (though there's an argument that perhaps it does now). Computer scientists have used the term AI to refer to all sorts of things from pathfinding to STRIPS to video game enemies imitating human players to machine learning since time immemorial. If your objection is that only humans have intelligence, one could equally argue that only humans compute, so no true Computer exists. Please define intelligence for me if you think otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Really? That's some serious nitpicking. Colloquial terms exist, man.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It's not even only colloquial, it's the scientific term for it.

Edit: Even things that have nothing to do with machine learning or deep learning are AI. i.e. stupid rule based approaches (aka tons of if-else). Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning which is a subset of AI.

I'd like to think that words have meaning. They should not be used to pump up stock prices. And certain words, like intelligence, deserve respect.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Words have meaning, and the meaning of those words change throughout time, cultures, and even niche circles. In a perfect world, we'd all explain the definition of a word that we are using, but we don't, and we rely on public consensus to determine the meaning of words. People are able to accept this for slang, but for some reason have a hard time accepting that it happens for normal words as well. People have been using AI to mean "any semblance of thought" in tech for a long time. When playing a game against a computer, people have been calling the computer player AI, even back when games were rudimentary.

Of course, I'm as big a hater of AI by the modern definition as anyone, I just think there are a lot of people dying on the hill of "words can't change" when it's a pretty crazy position to hold.

Excuse me if I don't want to let corporations redefine my language.

I think there can be AI, but this is not it. It's one of the reasons I don't want to call generative or predictive models AI.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

out of curiosity, what measurable output of a system would you need to observe as evidence that it's AI?

No they're talking about AL, the man who's behind every 4 second transition of whatever you want into Ghibli. Al is a savant who can crank out a billion renditions of memes turned into South Park characters a second.

He used to be a free man, but the company Open AL decided that his gift was too useful to be squandered so now he sits in a basement chained to a rock as he gets order after order demanding Hatsune Miku feet. He's not even good at drawing feet yet.

Yeah, but it's Grave of the Fireflies.
