Gregory's Server@eniko There was a scifi writing prompt on tumblr where they invent a transporter with lossy compression and people become more and more like each other over the decades due to average regression. I keep telling people hyping genAI to go read it. Of course the ingest-millions-of-examples-and-extract-the-most-predominant-features-machine can make DOOM-looking sorta-ok-looking screenshots! That's literally the easyest ask! Now try get it to make something niche like Microsoft Flight Simulator

 @lunarloony @elrohir @eniko Well, I mean, this is kind of like the argument that AI can't make pixel art because when each "pixel" needs to be a 16×16 square, it fails to line them up properly, but has anyone tried to have it make actual 16×16 sprites and scaled them up themselves? Artificial Intelligence is just a force multiplier for stupidity, as Mark Stanley says  @FrankHghTwr @elrohir @eniko I'd be tempted to try it for science if I wasn't vehemently opposed to doing so! @FrankHghTwr @lunarloony @elrohir @eniko Many decades ago I taught remedial summer school math for middle schoolers. My students were not happy to be there. One of the first questions they asked was if they could use calculators. I don't know if I knew the phrase "force multiplier" back then, but I told them that if they didn't know what they were doing, a calculator would just give them "bigger wrong answers." AI is the same on super steroids. @elrohir @eniko be careful what you ask for. It could probably make A flight simulator. It could probably replicate the leaked code for some version of Microsoft's. But if what you're asking is "make a model of planet earth to fly over" it'll probably pull a Douglas Adams by consuming the planet, and outputting 42 |
@elrohir @eniko Genuinely think it wouldn't even handle Space Invaders
