Ditto.

Yes.

For real man. For real. I've always seen myself as a spearman, but the utility, ease of use, and just general satisfaction of beatin' a motherfucker about the head with a goddamn stick is just... I mean, you can take a stick anywhere. Wait, can you take a stick anywhere? I think you can. Go to walmart right now holding a quartersaff. Aint nobody gonna stop you. If you're worried get a wide-brimmed hat. Bam, you're a backpacker stopping for supplies and you're not gonna just leave your stick in the parking lot, are you? Not gonna take the staff from this wizard, that's for sure.

I'm going to disagree on your explanation for his reasoning. He's not interested in being heard. What he does is entirely for himself. So there's this thing cults do- when they have their members go out recruiting it's not actually about gaining new members. Most people see through the bullshit and treat the cultist like shit. The cultists begin to see the outside world as hurtful and cruel, and are therein driven deeper into the subjugation of the cult. Been looking into this for when I get my Time religion going. But anyways, yeah, jingo got caught in a loop.

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks man.

There's no reason you two should be fighting each other. Let's focus on things we can agree on. Jingo's a prick and we all hate him. OK back on topic.

Got some more.

Could have sworn that was a nickleback song though. Eve 6 anyone?

Anybody remember Staind?

Everybody's like "Oh, the US should switch to metric". Like, the government just issues this decree and suddenly we're measuring our dicks in centimeters, not inches. That's not how it works. Little secret though, you're totally allowed to do it yourself. You can switch to metric right now, you don't even have to tell anyone.

Hey there's a guest browsing this topic. This game got more hate than it deserved. In terms of story and character exploration it was not as good as the originals, but there were a few things it did better than any other game in the series. Gunfights and space travel. top-notch.

Everyone abandoned that argument a page ago because i posted the exact way the process works. Thats why scoob got us lost in the weeds with his "what is art" discussion. Legally, factually, and morally my argument is correct. You can plug your ears, refuse to understand the actual poibts of the argument, repeat over and over how you think it works, and throw out all the insults you want. It doesn't matter. Im right. Its been proven. Many times. You're making yourself look foolish. And when you come back and shit all over the checkerboard claiming that you're right because you said so and don't care about the facts, imma just say "ok, cool." Because you don't have facts. You have an opinion. Its based on a flawed understanding due to your chosing to be ignorant, but hey its what you think and its 100% ok for you to be wrong. You gonna call me Hitler now? Because if calling people "Trump" is going to become the new Godwins Law... Well actually thatd be hilarious so keep it up.

Ok cool. Every single piece of factual evidence posted in this thread has been in support of my argument on this issue. Every piece. All the facts in the world won't change an opinion, and you're entitled to yours. My point has been proven many times over.

I actually cherrypicked the best one. And it's a lie that any image was modified. Simple as that. The process by which the generation actually works has been spelled out for you several SEVERAL times. Don't tell me you don't understand it for any reason other than you're choosing what you want to see.

If you're iffy about watching it for 1.5 hours, you should know he proves some of my statements wrong. Which ones? You'll have to watch and find out.

This guys got the right of it.

Buddy its not copied. No image has been modified besides the randomly generated static one. Thats like saying "i drew a check from memory and put a squiggle where the signature goes."

I read the entire article. Both the things you claimed were in there weren't.* As far as signatures, thats another thing the AI remembers, that people sign their work and where people sign their work. The robot isnt signing a name, its recognizing a pattern. No original image has not been removed, copied, or modified in any way, an entirely new image has been generated. The image contains a squigly line in the bottom right corner because the AI saw a pattern of pixels in the noise that it generated that looked like it belonged there. *the article writer did call people working with AI artists, which i disagree with too, so take that up with them.

NVIDIA has just birthed a new AI. Good stuff.

Oh shit, that actually brings up another fun fact about the AI- its words are almost always fucked up, but there's a high degree of internal constisancy. Similar to the way the article states that it's like a parallel creativity or something, its got its own parallel language it built too.

Nobody's using prompts to alter a specific image, the article states that people are generating their own images that seem to show this scary lady (its a really clickbaity title and the whole article is really only focussed on one dude's twitter so lets take that claim with a grain of salt anyways). What that means is that one of the connections in the AI black box seems to have labeled that particular scary lady concept "loab" and will generate what it thinks a "loab" looks like just the same as if someone asked for something labeled "duck". This is the only sentence in the article that has anything to do with how the AI collects information for its images.

Listen if you're not going to accept that the intetplay between man and machine can create something greater than the sum of its parts then we're stuck. Its the freaking spirit of the radio man.

AI isn't an artist. Neither is the human using it. Bread isn't a sandwich. Neither is peanut butter. But there you go.
