I’d never thought I’d see two Scoobys arguing with each other…

They don’t have Jack in the Box abroad…

Can we deport them all to Russia in exchange for Paul Whelan?

Right back at you.

Repeat for emphasis. There’s a special hell for disingenuous pieces of shit who complain about dishonest debates while not honestly debating.

Everyone who expressed those “contrary medical opinions” deserves to be silenced permanently.

Not in its current form. We may have to go back to the days of leather helmets and only basic pads.

My current plan is to correct scores to the expected points for all starting Bills and Bengals, including defense. Is everyone cool with that?

Awwww shit…. So you say there is a chance…

Fortunately, enough people know history to know pro Russian propaganda when they see it.

Or he doesn’t like this much attention being spent on someone besides him.

Can’t read highlight… too garish.

Everybody: Read this please: https://sports.yahoo.com/week-17-18-fantasy-football-status-updates-011003705.html I’d like everyone’s opinions before I figure out what to do after the horrific injury to Damar Hamlin.

You had to be there to see it. Never have seen such a slow running back gain so many yards.

I can’t be displeased with khaki dad getting rolled but damn that thing turned into a shootout quick. Day looks like he just moved his brother-in-law’s dumbbells into the garage even when he’s winning. Overall, not a banner day for the future home of the Trojans.

Happy New Year. Some chick at the party I was at dislocated her knee while dancing.

Belarus didn’t actually shoot down any missles.

That was beautiful.

Doesn't answer the question, though. If neither is the artist... who is?

No joke, man. Even had the fire pit going. Nearly melted my face off.

Cool. I won't.

It is a skewed metaphor and that's problematic because, unlike coitus, you're not working in tandem with the computer (or you shouldn't be). Both sexual partners have a visceral emotional response to the act and, while it's not likely to be the same for both, both responses are valid and collectively define the act of intimacy. If we're going to be crude about it, a marginally better comparison would be you and an inflatable sex doll: Maybe you can't have an orgasm without the doll, but having sex with it isn't going to make it feel anything. Stupid examples aside, the point here is that this isn't an equation. The emotional intent of your parent images aren't going to be passed on to the AI: it's going to guess at what you are feeling and project it on to the image with generic results. An image created by an AI is going to be different than one created by you even with the exact same source material as influence, and it's necessarily going to be deficient. How, then, can the AI be considered an artist if it can't full generate the image you tell it to?

Cool. I'm glad I didn't have to look it up.

Indeed, but can any of that truly make it feel an emotion?

The question isn’t whether it knows how to portray an emotion or even elicit that emotion. The question is whether it can have its own emotional interpretation of what you provide it. You’ve already pointed out that the person giving the prompts isn’t an artist, but if not, who is? Art still has to created by an artist. Can the AI be considered an artist if it’s perspective is incomplete?
