So much marketing media has becoming standardized that it’s pretty much inevitable that two products with so many surface similarities will have very similar trailers. There’s tons of market research about what framing and color choice and pace and cadence etc. etc. are most effective at capturing attention.

Agreed. They are very cognizant of the precarious position of many animals in CT, and really try to minimize harm to the animals as much as possible. It’s a weird state when it comes to stuff like that - it’s small, so just about everything feels local, it’s rural enough that wildlife is present and able to thrive,…

+infinity points for the Out of this World reference.

Yeah, this is absolutely true. The results from Dolby’s tool are... not great.

They didn’t actually design anything, though. It was a hypothetical thought experiment to show that naïve assumptions about AI accountability could rapidly escalate into major issues. Nothing was ever actually implemented or simulated.

Sure, “AI prompt makers” are not technical artists - but technical artists use technology, including AI, to engage with, enhance, or further enable art and artists’ workflows. It’s great that you know technical artists, and I don’t doubt that. I can also say that I’m working with technical artists right now on…

I took the goalposts home so I could smelt them down into a sculpture of a hand flipping the bird that you can shove up your unfunny ass.

Honestly, I’m baffled at the “lol” here. Do you not realize that “technical artist” is an actual job? If that’s the case, then I definitely recommend looking into it - technical artists do some really amazing stuff. Neat shader effects that can have such a massive impact on the visual and emotional quality of a scene,…

Why...would you hire additional people with “AI expertise” when you...could just have hired more artists instead? This technology has sent people mad.

You’re incorrect about a few things here. Most importantly, in this example - because we are talking about the technology in the article, not LLM use generally - the technology is not supplanting humans who can do an existing task. It is instead doing a task that a human, or a team of humans, could not do. That’s a…

Effectively, yes. In order for this to be good then there are a few areas that will require substantial effort from writers.

Also, after president Harrison Ford requested Gary Oldman “get off my plane” and then proceeded to zipline over to another plane that changed its callsign to Air Force One... but then that would be Air Force One and it landed, so I guess the math doesn’t work there.

For all the concern about AI taking jobs, this is an example of something that an AI can do that a writer, or even a team of writers, simply could not do. There is no job that will be lost to this technology because no job is analogous to what this technology does.

Sure, but that can be true for a lot of things. I don’t think that taking the potential actions of outliers and using that to limit the actions of everyone is a reasonable approach. That said, I do understand that there are other issues at play that should be considered.

I think that productizing the chatbot and offering licenses to interact with it is consent - actually I’m pleasantly surprised that the first we’re seeing of this is “streamer creates AI chatbot” and not “randos create AI chatbot of streamer.” You could certainly try to peel things back a bit - does she really want to…

It feels weird and creepy but if that’s how she and her fans roll, and if she’s consenting to offering the AI chatbot likeness, then this falls firmly into “you do you” category.

I appreciate you saying this. My faith in humanity is somewhat restored today. I shall endeavor to hold on to that spark by not checking the news until sometime tomorrow morning.

That’s kind of what I was getting at before - there has always been an arms race between teachers and students around cheating, and those with means traditionally had an upper hand compared to their peers. With the “democratization of deception” that these tools provide it creates a flood of potential false positives.

A nerve. I have touched it.

Exactly - these tools aren’t going anywhere and it’s as close to a sure bet as you can get that a student who uses them in class will in turn use them in their professional or personal life.
