Thats actually a great analogy. Its exactly like mixing up all the colors and expecting a rainbow instead of brown goo.

    If you wont drink the contents of the tray under the beer taps, you just hate beer. Its an infinite mashup of all the best beer ever made.

    Thank you. I make it a very annoying habit to never call these things "AI" and correct others if they do.

    Timely anecdote!

    Yesterday my son asked me what AI means, and if it meant something is fake. He's young so I didn't go into the LLM distinction, just defined how "artificial" means yes it's fake, and "AI generated" just means they asked a computer to make it.

    It reminds me of when everything was "cloud cloud cloud!!!" It's just other people's computers!

    Serverless means there are no servers

    It actually just means you aren't allowed to know about the servers, so when it turns out your application is running too slowly they can claim your application is poorly optimized and/or you're simply not paying them enough instead of the reality that they have you and 7,000 other people sharing the same kind of chip that controls a toaster.

    Are image generators like midjourney also LLMs?

    They are diffusion models with a language model to understand prompts. What all of the have in common is that they are generative AI.

    Again, they are not AI. We have not come up with an “AI” yet. What they are, are Machine-Learning, or “ML” models. They are not intelligent.

    I can't imagine dying on this hill. People have been using the word AI to refer to things that aren't real artificial intelligence for literally decades. It's the phrase people use for when a computer does something that mimics intelligence. How come I never hear you people talk about how video game NPCs don't have AI?

    "Actually, that character's programming is a form of virtual intelligence, not artificial intelligence."

    "virtual intelligence" just reminds me of Mass Effect

    Also, a lot of the time NPC behavior isn't even virtual intelligence.

    why should we stop using a term that has been used for at least a decade to refer to things much "dumber" than something like gpt 3.5

    Guess language evolves, because a simple A* or Dijkstra pathfinder was AI just ten years ago. Machine learning too.

    Also, ask people what "intelligent" / intelligence is and you get one definition per person.

    Artificial intelligence doesn't need to be good, just artificial, IMO.

    If you love AI you probably hate art and expression...

    If OOP actually loved art and expression, they'd be supporting actual artists making actual art, rather than putting their weight behind the no-effort jungle juice of art AI produces.

    as a fan of mashup culture the first argument is so weird. what makes mashup art interesting is the ability to recognise similarities the constituent parts and the artistry of merging them. ai art is more like a blender. you can make interesting things with the tech but it requires an actual artistic talent as well as careful planning both before and after. pouring in whatever will just net you beige goo.

    If you don't like robots crushing people into paste, you just hate humans.
    The paste is a mashup of all the best humans.

    There is no "AI". Generated art is generated by computers created and programmed by humans.

    Also art is subjective. Both these views are absurdly absolutist. Reality is gray.
