Chickenstalker, in What do you think of sports analysts ?

We need to tell us that scoring more points is better than scoring less points.

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between AI art and students imitating an artist? What happens when the AI actually gains the ability to experiment “outside the box” - what we call creativity?

xkforce,

Then the copyright system needs to go away.

trashgirlfriend,

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between AI art and students imitating an artist?

Students are people who cannot truly copy art even if they wanted to. Pius, everyone generally does art their own way because… that is the point of art.

Image generation models just copy patterns from existing images, there is no process of artistic creation, nothing to interpret, no process… AI generated images are just pretty noise.

It cannot do that just by design. It’s not a thinking thing, calling these models AI is really a misnomer and more of a marketing thing than a description of what it really is.

Unlike the creativity that is on display by humans. Which is why every adult cartoon looks nothing like Family Guy.

So long as it’s not spammed in the All section post after post after post, I’m okay with it being here since I can just easily scroll past it and ignore it.

themurphy, (edited ) in Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?

The anti-vax movement is alot bigger in the US than any other western country, so yeah.

That’s basically the answer.

Bluetreefrog, in Whats the difference between the language codes ro and ro_v26 (romanian)?

Support question. Locking.

I don’t really get it. Reminds me of the guys who’d send each other fractal images on floppy disks in the early 90s, which they must have got something out of, but to everyone else it’s just pictures of maths.

Cheers, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

I feel like ai art is getting better and better. I’m not necessarily interested in it, but when art/food/pet pics pop up on my feed, I was never looking for them either.

I think it’s normal to hide them, but to feel bothered seems a bit drastic.

paraphrand,

It is getting better and better. It’s to the point that if you are mocking it for bad hands, then you are actually out of touch with where it is now. Bad hands is almost a dead meme.

It’s weird how “old” earlier Midjourney stuff looks to me now.

I posted a (labeled) AI-generated piece of art to a Star Trek shitposting community and a mod removed it because they didn’t want AI generated images, even if labeled.

It didn’t make me mad at all, I just found it interesting and kind of ironic

Artists: don’t gatekeep us. Allow us to explore and recreate in new medias in new ways.

Also artists: we alone get to decide what art is, what way it is created, and what media it is found.

Seriously, I feel like the only artists that have to worry about AI are the incompetent ones. Are you really that scared about something that lacks originality by nature? If so, you’re probably just doing soul-sucking grunt work…

Etterra, in What do you think of sports analysts ?

They’re even less worthy of their excessive paychecks than the people involved in the sports. That money could end homelessness.

PhlubbaDubba, in Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?

No, we just have a larger presence on the internet relative to our share of the global population, meaning our idiocy is noticed a lot more often.

Call it the Florida Man effect, it’s not that other states don’t also have crazies, it’s just that Florida’s are more well documented and publicized.

Lemminary, (edited ) in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

Some of these responses either have a weird and jaded agenda or literally don’t make sense. You don’t like AI art because of the smudges or the weird colors? Huh? lol

I’m gonna speak purely from an American football (NFL/NCAA DI) standpoint, which will probably interest like 2 other people on this site, but whatever:

If you’re talking about those who provide “analysis” between games, I don’t think there is a more useless way to spend your time than listen to these guys. I put analysis in quotes because it’s all really just speculation. Speculation about a fucking game. People already speculate about real world stuff like politics way too much, but I feel like I know too many grown adults who treat consuming sports “analysis” as a hobby.

Now, as for the play-by-play and color commentary, there was a time when I felt like it actually added to the experience, like the 90s to the mid 00s. Of course, there was the great John Madden who had the talent of providing interesting commentary for both experienced fans and people who were watching their first game. Once he retired, I feel like it all went downhill. Now, the commentators only cater to the lowest common denominator of fans who are more into sports for the tribalism aspect than actually understanding the game beyond what is happening on the screen. Everyone always goes “but what about Tony Romo?” Ok is it really that surprising that a quarterback who played professionally for over 10 years can occasionally predict plays pre-snap? It was his job long before he was a commentator. He doesn’t even really explain the thought processes behind his predictions either. He’s just flexing to impress people.

JakenVeina, in What do you think of sports analysts ?

I think about the one team whose games I watch and realize the commentators are a huge part of what I enjoy about watching. I would enjoy it much less without them.

Then I think about watching other teams on occasion, or about the occasional broadcasts that are national or put on by a different network, where there’s a different team of commentators, and I pretty much hate them all.

So, I’d have to say “depends on how interesting/entertaining they are.”

ani, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

AI art does not annoy me in social media because I find it fascinating and inspiring. I think AI art is a form of expression and innovation that showcases the potential and diversity of human and machine collaboration. I enjoy seeing how different people use AI art to create, share, and communicate their ideas, emotions, and visions. I also appreciate the challenges and opportunities that AI art poses for the artistic community and society at large.

AI art is not a threat or a replacement for human art, but rather a new medium and a new partner. AI art can help human artists to explore new possibilities, enhance their skills, and expand their audiences. AI art can also stimulate public interest and awareness of art, culture, and technology. AI art can be a source of beauty, joy, and wonder for everyone.

Toneswirly,

lol

Leviathan, in Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?

I really think it’s a question of the sheer amount that is aimed at them through propaganda foreign and domestic. There’s definitely a huge, deliberate push to destabilize the US.

rusticus,
