So they just added a few buttons?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is an AI winter coming? Diminishing returns and scaling limit fears freeze AGI hopes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
To add a bit more background:

We already had two major AI winters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

My opinion: We're facing a lot of issues, energy, training data is finite, it might be likely that the current architecture of AI models will hit a ceiling. We already pump in lots of compute for ever diminishing returns. I'm pretty sure that approach won't scale towards AGI.

But it doesn't need to keep growing exponentially to be useful. AI is hyped to no end. And it's a real revenue driver for companies. I'd say the bubble is over-inflated. Some people are bound to get disappointed. And in my eyes it's very likely that it won't keep growing at the current pace of the last two years. And ultimately we'd need to come up with some new inventions if we want AGI. As far as I know that's still utter sci-fi. Nobody knows how to revolutionize AI so it'll suddenly become 100x more intelligent. And it's unlikely that our current approach will get us there. But on the other hand no-one ruled out there is a possibility to do it with a more clever approach.

Sure, lets use Bing then.

That's about what I do. I get that most people don't have the time and expertise to do it, but I self-host Nextcloud and Matrix chat. Most of my private data isn't on other people's platforms anyways. And I'd pay the small sum for a decent e-mail provider. And apart from that I don't really mind. Whatever I post on social media is there for the public. I don't mind if someone uses it to train AI. The bugreports and code I post on Github is licensed to be used freely. I don't care how it's used, I think using it as training material is kinda alright, since AI (or humans) don't reproduce more than a few lines.

Since when do AI companies care about copyright 😆🙃

Lol. I'm impressed by the timing. But it seems there is a reason why they don't want it to sing 🤗

I like than everyone seems to think we're days or weeks away from a ChatGPT 5 release. I've read that claim for months now.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t ask if AI can make art — ask how AI can be art⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Long article with some nice thoughts. And I'd add: Art is about exploring, communicating, ... And that includes current events and technology. I mean not every picture is art. But as AI is part of the world, art has to deal with the subject.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI music startups say copyright violation is just rock and roll⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Does anyone have a link to an actual song they claim is copyright violation? The article contains a link to 3 samples but only for Suno and they don't sound like Bruce Springsteen or any proper artist to me.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instagram’s “Made with AI” label swapped out for “AI info” after photographers’ complaints⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Lots of photos are edited. Probably almost all more professional ones. It certainly also doesn't help that AI enhancement is now default in newer phones.

And it's bound to be difficult. We try to use AI to judge if an image is real. But on the other hand we train the AI image generators to generate more and more realistic images.I don't think we can have both at the same time because they contradict each other.
