It’s no secret that the generative, sequacious artificial intelligences out there have copyright issues. I’ve written about it myself quite a bit. It’s almost become cliche to mention copyright and AI in the same sentence, with Sam Altman having said that there would be no way to do generative AI without all that material – […]
On one hand, we have the jailbreak of Steamboat Willie into the public domain despite the best efforts of Disney. I’m not worried about it either way; I generated the image using Deepai. If Disney is upset about it, I have no problem taking it down. There’s a great write-up on the 1928 version of […]
It’s a strange time. OpenAI (and Microsoft) are being sued by the New York Times and they’re claiming ‘Fair Use’ as if they’re having some coffee and discussing what they read in the New York Times, or are about to write a blog post about the entire published NYT archives, on demand. It’s not just […]
Sequacious AI will answer all of your questions based on what it has scraped from the Internet! It will generate images based on everything it sucked into it’s learning model manifold! It will change the way you do business! It will solve the world’s mysteries for you by regurgitating other people’s content persuasively! You’ll beat […]
This started off as a baseline post regarding generative artificial intelligence and it’s aspects and grew fairly long because even as I was writing it, information was coming out. It’s my intention to do a ’roundup’ like this highlighting different focuses as needed. Every bit of it is connected, but in social media postings things […]
There’s been a lot of discussion about society and artificial intelligence. This includes the resurgence of mocking shares of Noam Chomsky’s opinion, “The False Promise of ChatGPT” where the only real criticism of it seems to have come from people asking ChatGPT what ChatGPT thought about Chomsky’s criticism. I suppose human thought would be asking […]
I’ve been experimenting with uploading images to ChatGPT 4 and seeing what it has to say about them. To me, it’s interesting because I gain some insight into how far things have progressed, as well as how descriptive ChatGPT can be about things. While having coffee yesterday with a friend, I was showing him the […]
In unsurprising news, if you feed artificial intelligences the output of artificial intelligences they become a bit insane. I’d covered that before in Synthetic Recursion, which seemed pretty intuitive even before I wrote that, but scientists at Rice and Stanford University wrote a paper: “Self Consuming Generative Models Go MAD“. So, we can say that’s […]
I’ve seen more and more people leaving Facebook because their content just isn’t getting into timelines. It’s an interesting thing to consider the possibilities of. While some of the complaints about the Facebook algorithms are fun to read, it doesn’t really mean too much to write those sort of complaints. It’s not as if Facebook […]
‘Strategic deception’ in large language models is indeed a thing. It should be unsurprising. After all, people do it all the time when trying to give the answer that is wanted by the person asking the question. Large Language Models are designed to… give the answer wanted by the person asking the question. That there […]
