Could you try to understand what I’m saying instead of jumping down my throat?

If I want to turn off a certain type of notification in a program I’m using, I don’t need to sift through three forum threads to learn how to do that. I’m fine taking the AI route and don’t think I’ve lost my humanity.

Lots of legitimate concerns and issues with AI, but if you’re going to criticize someone saying they used it you should at least understand how it works so your criticism is applicable.

It is useful. Chatgpt performs web searches, then summarizes the results in a way customized to what you asked it. It skips the step where you have to sift through a bunch of results and determine “is this what I was looking for?” and “how does this apply to my specific context?”

Of course it can and does still get things wrong. It’s crazy to market it as a new electronic god. But it’s not random, and it’s right the majority of the time.

Oh good to know. We moved before the date on that document though.

God bless em.

Fiber of course is preferable, but requires a lot of knowledge and up front investment to lay. In Philadelphia there’s a WISP - wireless internet service provider - that has their equipment up on a tower and can service a particular neighborhood: https://phillywisper.net/

I was ready to use them but our apartment building had made a fucking exclusive agreement with Comcast. If we lived in a normal house at that same address we could have got FIOS or PhillyWisper.

Yeah! First, I don’t think it would be weird to ask it elsewhere, but definitely ok to ask it here.

Pretty concerning that a “western democracy” is doing this, because it gives cover for the next one and the next one.

It’s easy to say “oh I’ll just stop using such and such a service” but what happens when there are no more legal services to switch to?

You should watch the documentary “Under the Sun”. North Korea agreed to let the director film with the understanding he would follow their directions, almost to the point of following a script. However he secretly kept filming. It’s pretty fascinating. https://imdb.com/title/tt5129818/

Nice, thanks for sharing. I might have missed it but does it say how they handled audio?

Superimposing images would probably have more happy accidents than superimposing reversed audio, which would probably just make things unintelligible.

I recommend the book “How to invent everything” by Ryan North. It’s humor, an instruction manual for stranded time travelers who have to recreate civilization. It includes a section on testing food for edibility. https://www.howtoinventeverything.com/

You know it’s not strictly auto completing sentences that previously existed, right? It’s using words that it anticipates should follow others. I’ve had it suggest code libraries that don’t exist, and you’ll hear about people going to the library to ask for books that haven’t been written but supposedly by real authors, and it sounds like something they would write.

Tab music notation is super common, and although it wasn’t supported by this particular service before, you could see where it might be the sort of request people make, and so chatgpt combined the two.

Yeah and what if we played it backward and with the colors inverted

Read the other thread. This screenshot is misleading since we don’t see the prompt. Someone else in the thread asked Grok about the Holocaust and it answered as you’d hope: https://lemmy.world/comment/18079515

Busting out the slur deep cuts

Even mass produced things require skill and sophistication. Pop music is more like a mass produced iphone than a mass produced frisbee.

Sure the lyrics aren’t saying something important or the singer isn’t the same person as the songwriter, but a lot of hours went into it. The average person on the street could not create a comparable song to what you hear on the radio without significant effort.

It’s not exactly slop if the pigs eat it is it /s

I get what you’re saying, if people don’t detect ai music it must not be so bad. But in the original usage of slop, pigs don’t care, but humans wouldn’t eat the food. Same here, just because some people don’t mind doesn’t mean others can’t easily discern the difference

You could also make the argument that pigs would prefer better food if it was an option, but they have no choice, they’re only given access to slop.

I get not liking it, and there are some real clunkers, but I think you’re dramatically underestimating the amount of craft and expertise that goes into some pop music.

Same, our church growing up never talked about that. (disclaimer atheist now)

I know that scholars understand the “official” Bible as a combination of earlier sources. Still, it’s funny how much Bible fanfic there is. How do you decide which stuff is real and which stuff is too crazy.

Interestingly, while Quds news takes a very specific point of view that some will disagree with, their article is more informative than this one in terms of sourcing for the claim.
