As long as they don’t include something to the effect of “I made…” then I’m just mildly irritated at it.

If it does then I ask them what they made because I don’t see it (since it wasn’t them, it was AI)

kzhe,

I mean I think “I made using AI” can be valid when you look at the actually high effort work with the essay long prompts and heavy tweaking before and afterwards and etc, which I have seen

littletranspunk, (edited )

Essay prompts are not hard work. You prompted AI or you used AI, but you didn’t create anything. I don’t support AI, but I find it passable if people don’t claim it as their own work.

You didn’t create it, AI did. Ask an actual artist if you created it; they will say “no”.

Use AI if you want, but don’t claim it as your work

kzhe,

Really? Writing a high quality prompt that would inspire good work is easy? Big standardized test makers don’t have to meticulously create fair and quality questions?

I think that claiming you “created something with AI” is an accurate label at a certain level of work.

As long as it’s not being passed off as made by a human I don’t care. Most of the AI art I see being posted is specifically to communities for posting AI art, anyway.

Clbull, in Is it normal for your BP to rise after quitting

I’m inclined to say yes.

Alcohol is a depressant and going from heavy drinking to cold turkey is almost always a bad idea. It’s one of those things you need to gradually wean yourself off of. Alcohol withdrawal can legit kill people.

Smoking… I’ve known people who have quit it by going cold turkey.

solitaire, (edited ) in You have a magic pill, which de-ages you by 20 years. You can take it once in your life only, so long as you are at least 20. What age — past, current or future — do you reckon is best to take it?
@solitaire@infosec.pub avatar

Going with the just de-age interpretation and not time travel, it has to be late enough I could still pass for an adult but I’d want it before any of my chronic health conditions emerge so I can mitigate them. I don’t want to look younger, I just want the health benefits.

I can’t go back to being a kid because where the hell would new identity documents come from? I still have to be able to live my current life more or less. I suppose 35 is the absolute minimum for me to take it, at 15 I wasn’t getting carded buying alcohol. I reckon at that age with the right presentation I could pass for 20 at least, and a 35 year old seeming that young isn’t completely unheard of.

I can’t go too much older because issues start compounding in my 20s. I’d love to have picked a post development age - aside from my health, I didn’t really get comfortable in my own skin until then - but it’d be too late. Maybe 40 so the worst of puberty is over, but that’s probably my limit.

I hate hate hate hate it, I’d be happy if they were all banned, tbh.

This is prolly gonna be a hot take but the only reason I don’t block AI art communities is so that I can downvote them whenever I see an AI art post. Yes, I’m that petty, and no, I don’t give a shit.

Ategon, (edited ) in When is the next Lemmy Place event?
@Ategon@programming.dev avatar

Its happening once a year so likely in the summer

Im working on another event that may happen next month though depending on if I finish the rest of the things to do in my queue of projects !safe_crackers

(so this and canvas will be 6 months apart from each other)

otter,

Looks fun! Subscribed to stay updated

Are you making the questions or is it on the instances to make them?

Ategon,
@Ategon@programming.dev avatar

I assume that’s referring to the clues? They’ll be randomly generated based on instance info I pull in

favrion,
@favrion@lemmy.world avatar

Clues for what?

otter,

Oh cool, even better :)

favrion,
@favrion@lemmy.world avatar

What event?

Ategon, (edited )
@Ategon@programming.dev avatar

Theres a link to the community for it in the comment above. Basically will be primarily about making and guessing passwords (but also have some idle game stuff in there as well but no spoilers until I start testing which might be today edit: auths taking longer, testing this week)

favrion,

Sounds interesting.

anon6789, in What is it that makes a grand piano sound better than an upright piano?
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

The grand piano is the latest and greatest evolution of the piano. It’s become what it is over improvements over centuries.

The upright is a compromise. People want to play a suitable size for most homes and isn’t as expensive.

That doesn’t make an upright bad at all. It’s good in that it got the piano into the homes and hands of many more people. A good upright can be as good or better than a poorly built or maintained grand. Most people are also not capable of outplaying the quality of their instruments as well.

What the other commenter said is true. The mass of all that wire and wood vibrating generates the harmonics that make the sound louder or more expressive. Think the sound differences between a guitar and a uekele. Same basic design, but different string length and mass. You get richer, more complex and nuanced sound, and it’s also naturally capable of being louder and has better projection for performing in an age before application.

Is a grand piano necessary for good sound? That’s subjective like any other form of art. I take my piano lessons on an upright at my teacher’s house. It’s an ok piano, and still way better than I am at playing it for a long time. For some types of music, it is probably even a better choice, as some pieces will be written for or more commonly heard through an upright, making that the “proper” sound.

At home, I have an electric piano, a Rhodes. That uses no piano wire and instead makes sound by the hammers hitting pieces of what is essentially coat hanger wire fastened onto rectangular steel weights. Does it sound like a grand or upright? Not at all. But it still sounds great! I practice my classical pieces on it, but other types of music will sound more appropriate on it. Plus it’s smaller than an upright, and comes in at a featherweight 150 pounds or so.

People discuss and debate these things with every instrument and it can get quite intense as possible debate string brands, what woods different pieces are made of, and all that stuff, but it ultimately comes down to what you think best. Every individual instrument has its own voice to some extent. Even in pure electric instruments, people will prefer a Yamaha sound to Roland or Nord, etc.

Future pianos will probably have a different sound from today’s as well. As we develop new materials and new key actions, etc the sound will change and get better or worse depending who you asked. Bach’s piano sat on a table and had no foot pedals. Some people will play Bach pieces with pedals while others call it blasphemy!

But between me and the other person, I hope this has helped with your question!

where I live, “upright” pianos are called “pianínó”

anon6789,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

I like that name better. 😁

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

Maybe 1 in 10 AI generated images posted here I look at that are any interest to me.

Most character mashups outside of a handful aren’t very interesting (the pokemon museum one was neat). Most are kinda meh, but don’t bother me as at least with my current settings only a few AI art communities appear on my feed.

Orbituary, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?
@Orbituary@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. It all seems too similar. Despite different subjects, they all feel so familiar and boring.

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

In direct opposition to most of the comments here, I relly like it. Most of what I see are really good. I say this having done some and been unable to ‘prompt engineer’ much to my liking. Turns out it is harder than it looks (much like traditional art)

I like it, I like content and it doesn’t take much for me to scroll past stuff I don’t like.

Girl Talk was just a bunch of other peoples music smashed together, but it was undeniably its own art.

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

Yes. Icky colors.

anon6789, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

If it is posted as AI art, I don’t have an issue. As others have commented, there are many valid use cases for it, and like any form of art, it’s not inherently good or bad.

The problem I have is when it gets mixed in with real images and there is no differentiation.

I do the bulk of posting at !superbowl, and one thing I do is promote raptor rescue operations, so I’m subbed to 60ish Facebook feeds for the various shelters I get news and photos from. As a result, I get recommended near every owl photo posted to Facebook.

Now, getting real image groups recommended to me is great. I just got a bunch of great images I’d never seen from a photography group it recommended. But I get so many obvious fakes posted as real images, and another larger group where it’s hard to tell.

I’m just someone that wanted to keep a Lemmy community going after the original buzz died down. I’m not an animal expert or a photographer, so I can’t always pick out what is a really good photo vs post processing, vs downright fake. I want to keep the legitimacy of what I do post intact, because I work hard to keep content factual. I pass on what could be some really great photos because I can’t always say they’re real.

Plus it would be nice to have them separate from real images in general. Sometimes I would like to see some AI owl pics, but once random groups or repost bots start mixing things in randomly, it makes people question things.

shalafi,

Your work on that sub is appreciated.

I’m always glad to hear it’s making a positive addition to everyone’s browsing!

I try to keep it fresh and unique, while being a good balance of fun and education. I’m typically shy with people I don’t know, but the community here, especially during the summer was so friendly and welcoming, I just wanted to step up and do my part to maintain that.

I like hearing that it means something to you guys though. The time making 1-3 posts a day adds up, and I don’t mind it as long as people are enjoying it.

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

I don’t consider it art. The only “creative” part is the prompt itself. Even then, it’s really just users trying to be as fanciful (or perverted) as possible. Once the prompt is ingested, the code takes its cues to remix the turgid crap that’s called the internet today.

Yes, once in a while it produces something “interesting” but this is an accident and not the desired outcome. Ask any artist about this - I’ve never met any that consider all their work as “good” (Ahem, Damien Hirst) and purposefully filter their own output. Ask AI to do that. It can’t. It will literally continue to shit things out until you ask it to stop. Again, like Damien Hirst…

The downside is it’s cheap and requires literally no skill. This means that soon, it will be pretty much everywhere, and thus we’ll continue the inexorable slide into abject mediocrity.

I’m not scared of the AI uprising. I’m scared it’s going to bore us all to death.

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

I considered it as a low effort spam and block any ai art community i can see.

sharkfucker420, in You have a magic pill, which de-ages you by 20 years. You can take it once in your life only, so long as you are at least 20. What age — past, current or future — do you reckon is best to take it?
@sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml avatar

Let’s say hypothetically this repairs organ damage.

I have 2 choices. I can save the pill for when I or a loved on is in serious danger of death or I can do a shit ton of LSD, like an absurd amount of LSD, enough to actually break me and then reset.

It’s a tough choice /s

HonoraryMancunian,
