Fuck AI@lemmy.world•AI Fiction Is Easy to Detect Because It's Stupid and Bad, Research FindsEnglish
5·2 months agoIt’s been in its infancy for a long, long time.
“AI,” as we know it today, is just marketing speak that refers to LLMs or image generators. That isn’t to say there isn’t grain of truth to the usage of the word. Machine learning is the underlining method used to “train” these models with whatever information needed to full fill a task. So, yes, it is “learning” per se but not in any way similar to humans. It’s just a computer doing what we tell it to do at the end of the day.
And that’s fine if it weren’t for the fact that the training data is based on our art and that it consumes even more power and water than even blockchain! Unlike blockchain, there is no known way to undo that. Like, I’ll at least give credit to devs behind Ethereum. They acknowledged it was power hungry and switched to an efficient algorithm. Still doesn’t addresses the laundry list of issues but credit where credit is due. What’s the solution for AI?
A lot of that is mostly the fault of the technology. But we still like it anyway.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•AI Fiction Is Easy to Detect Because It's Stupid and Bad, Research FindsEnglish
7·2 months agoExcept that hasn’t happened.
You underestimate our ability to discover patterns. It’s this trait that has given us language, art, science, etc. That very same ability is why we’re able to figure out small little nuances like the above mentioned delving phenomenon. And the fact that the companies behind these models are so dead set on preventing people from writing erotic fiction in favour of bland literature with forced morals only adds to said predictability.
And if there is one thing people hate more than bad literature, it’s a boring one.

7·2 months agothe wilful ignorance and denial is really just the unspoken feeling of uncanny valley surfacing
This article is discussing a research paper that looked into AI’s hilarious tendency to “delve,” among other things, and one of the many conclusions they came to is exactly what we all already suspected: it sucks at fiction. That is the furthest thing from being willfully ignorant.
