Yay or Nay on AI?

Puffery is an excellent use for AI. It rarely requires much intelligence. And some people who have intelligence are too ethical to do it as well as an amoral bot.

I won’t pretend I understand 70% of what you said.

Instead I leave you with this:

I feel like we have almost come full circle.

Its execution of the image is impressive.

The decision as to the characteristics of the Van Gogh style represented is, IMO, trivial.

If the goal is intelligence, what is this example telling us?

In the past many educated people could tell you what would make an image look like a Van Gogh. Can as many do so today. If presented with this image, could they recognize the intent of the software? It certainly is not a substitute for a living, breathing Van Gogh, who was more than a stylist.

Not to to argue that with you and your probably right!

HOWEVER, its still damn cool.

Also, I may - or may NOT, have gone a little overboard doing this with Krampus.

AND, I may or may NOT, be printing out some of these for my office.

I am old.

I also ran marketing for a while for the first company to commercialize ARPAnet technology. So I know about the security issues I raised. We solved those problems with locked rooms, limited access, and other physical methods.

Absolutely.

Now are all of those images free of IP violations? :rofl:

The goal is intelligence but it will always be superseded by market demand and slight variation. The internet for the most part hasn’t gone through tremendous technology changes - how is twitter, facebook and instagram different from a use board or a forum? Same shit with slightly different UI/UX - it is mostly mass adoption.

I doubt we’ll see AI - general intelligence in my lifetime - but we will get prettier versions of it with more accuracy in the same proportion of forums:social-media

Just some thoughts.

Lol, for now the answer is supposed yes. Time will tell. As far as dall-e’s rules. You can use this free, even commercially, as long as the watermark is in the corner.

But where did those images have their beginnings and are they free of IP violaton.

Dall-e looks for patterns and uses that to create its own unique images. IMHO it would be the same as looking at a bob ross painting and then replicating that style with your own vision.

OBV it may be different based on how the ai works / copies things and how much etc. But that’s for the lawyers & computer scientists.

And anyone who attempts to benefit financially from these images.

I started this discussion with the Hermes NFT decision which reaffirmed traditional IP law and rights.

Someone at a higher pay grade than I can deal with the legal issues, but I expect to see lots of litigation, particularly in Europe where the rights of artists are highly protected.

Seems like an area to be pursued by SPADEM in France.

ARPAnet makes me think of ‘The Americans,’ one of my favorite series ever. Must rewatch.
