It’s a shame so many people are being so annoying with AI. There are so many genuinely incredible possibilities.

[–] Spidertax@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

agreed. in the case of AI art, there are some legitimate artists out there (Rob Sheridan comes to mind) who are making wonderful use of AI image generation tools and incorporating it into their artwork and it's SO cool.

it's a shame that so far the loudest people touting AI are the annoying "bro buy my latest shitcoin" techbros.

Why does every tech bro want to replace things thay make people happy, like art with AI?? It's so confusing tbh

I thought things like low level customer service or menial tasks would make sense to replace first

Why does every tech bro want to replace things thay make people happy, like art

Because AI is funded and headed by corporations seeking profit. And things like art require skilled labor, which is expensive. Therefore if you can create a machine that reduces the skill required to produce something like art, you can pay the human less. Or maybe even remove the human entirely.

AI will only - can only - benefit the people if it is headed and regulated by the people and for the people. As it is, it is only a tool of the ultra wealthy, and tech bros are totally falling for the bait and switch

Because they don't have the artistic skill themselves and they are parasitic by nature? So they latch onto a tool that itself is a parasite?

[–] limeaide@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

How boring and dystopian would the world be without people creating art and instead it being created for profit by art instead of passion and love. I mean it already happens, but at least you need some talent to be successful lol

In the future where AI makes all the music, I will become one of those old ppl commenting on rap youtube videos, "back music was art and beautiful" lmaoo

This type of extravagant technological solution feels like something Aperture Science would make

We do what we must because we can.

Cave Johnson, we're done here.

y’all mfs trying to detect obvious satire challenge (impossible)

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, the camera itself is just an art project.

But I have no idea if the person who posted it with that text is delusional or trying to be funny.

I corrected the title and post!

[–] TheBelgian@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

actually, Google was really working on something like this, based on googlestreet images, gps, accelerometer, time, AI etc... to deduce the image and sell cameraless smartphone.

what a stupid idea, honestly

  1. because it is indeed stupid: the most inefficient way to provide an existing and cheap feature
  2. cameras are actually the selling point of most the expensive smartphone
  3. I WANT to capture it myself
[–] AbelianGrape@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

This is one of those "it's cool!" things that people took way too far

[–] cnx 1 points 1 year ago

most inefficient way to provide an existing and cheap feature

Ah yes, because the whole so-called innovations on handheld computer/camera are about making efficient use of resources and totally have nothing to do with making as much money as possible!

I WANT to capture it myself

Speak for yourself, similar tech's already been commercialized.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Looks like a lot of unnecessary extra steps for worse effect.

It is incredibly ironic though because back in the days photography was attacked as the thing that would "destroy art".

[–] Erose543@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

I want to capture the thing I'm looking at. Art is an attempt to convey personal experience to another person with an unknowable other experience. Having the basis of art be other people's art without at least personal control of the end composition is just all backwards. Not to mention that's not a camera, it's literally a different thing. These people get me so flustered

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@sexy_peach what if the AI doesn't already have the image 👀 ?

[–] schizanon@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] cnx 1 points 1 year ago

It does require each feature to be part of the training dataset to compose the result. Even better, the state-of-the-art stochastic models can output identical data but you can completely ignore the original work's license. Yeah science, bitch!

[–] Npenplz@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I can't imagine anyone other than tech bros actually using this in any scenario

[–] zekiz@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It's a cool art project.

[–] MrsEaves@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

AI image generation aside, this sort of thing might be genuinely useful for someone who is blind or low vision. It’s like alt text for the world.

[–] taaz@biglemmowski.win 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thought this is an invention for blind people at first.
