Really ? since when ?

I was watching Sabrina The Teenage Witch on DVD with Halloween coming up. Currently on Series IV which I have yet to see from here on.

How about LET’S NOT

Why not ?

Wait do they not already do this?

I drank an entire carton of custard on a whim earlier.

I can now say that that was one of the stupidest things I've ever done in my life.

Please explain what you mean by "artificial", how it's inherently bad, and how combining AI, which is NOTORIOUSLY ugly and unrealistic, would make it better?

Or in short, this.

Like you said, they ugly and unrealistic and that's why i want blend them with practical special effects.

I have had a thoroughly unpleasant week and the fact that I got a bunch of cool stuff in the last couple of days hasn't even put a dent in it tells me it's a lot worse than I'm letting myself believe.


Or, OR. Or. Or - and hear me out here - or, we could just

Skip AI and leave it in the garbage bin with crypto and flying cars as the technological dead end it is and just stick to proven practical effects and human-implemented-and-designed digital touch-ups.

The benefit of AI is that it clearly highlights the injustice of the world order. The services of even the most advanced analogue of GPT chat will cost much less than a robot vacuum cleaner. Consequently, among people, cleaners should receive more money than artists for their work.

AI is complete TRASH, it has absolutely nothing to do with the artistic process, nor is it wanted or needed.
It?s as useful as an NFT

You're comparing generative AI to an AI designed for cleaning a house. The concerns with ChatGPT and generative AI is that it could be abused to churn out intellectual material based on other IP without the original creators' consent, or even outright replace people in filmmaking industries and kill creativity. This won't actually stop filmmaking or creatvity (indie productions are a thing and the internet is a valid alternative to the traditional cinema experience) but it could cheapen the impact of film and other visual/text-based mediums. And generative AI isn't just used for entertainment, it has a far-reaching influence on multiple fields. That's far different to cleaning floors.

And then there's also the chance of an AI being prgrammed to have bias, intentionally or not. There was a minor uproar a while back when it was discovered that ChatGPT refused to write a poem about Donald Trump but would do so for Joe Biden. I'm not gonna go into too much detail to avoid breaching Tokunation's policy on real-life politics, but despite many people's opinions (including mine's) on the guy with the orange hair, this was clear evidence of bias. There's also the fact that generative AI is a language learning model that uses internet content to improve itself. Unfortunately this can also include stuff like slurs, racism, etc.

Generative AI is an incredibly interesting topic to explore, especially as its so new at this point in time and we're only starting to discuss the impact it could have on human society going forward, but to compare it to a simple AI that is used to clean a house or do whatever is like comparing apples and oranges. You roomba cleans your house, not write resumes.

The point of my statement is not the problems and features, but the price. If Chat GPT charged as much for its work as the most mediocre and hungry artist, no one would need it. AI is used in all industries because it is cheaper, faster and allows introverts to avoid unnecessary interaction with people. In all other respects it is identical to its human counterparts. This includes plagiarism, bias and impact on society. You won't deny that people of art also sin with this, right? And here we come to my statement: if a simple and reliable rumba costs much more than the problematic and unfinished ChatGPT, then why does a person doing cleaning earn so much less than a human artist, most often also very problematic? To put it simply, I am not criticizing AI here, but society.

Speeding up the process. We live in an ever-faster world, so much so that even ?fast fashion? has gone out of fashion. Therefore, AI can help many slow writers or hobbyists with limited resources. After all, which of our recent contemporaries became famous for one work that they wrote all their lives? The last such individuals remained in the last century. Nowadays the ability to write works like a machine gun is valued, and there will always be fans.

that's the point, the lack of money to hires a great writers/producers/directors is due the CGI special effects/visuals experts.

But (if we are not talking about those created by AI, but those made by human experts) CGI is more expensive than practical effects. I myself don`t understand why a painted explosion is more expensive than a regular one, but film budgets indicate exactly this. I think there is corruption here.

The Flash certainly didn't look like a movie that cost 300 Million Dollars, is all I'm saying about that.

WTB?

I've seen TV episodes that look way better than movies on less budget. The fact is that if you have the tech and the programing you can put together some top notch visuals.

Farscape is a good case of this for visuals. Even Power Rangers looked good with a lot of morphing sequences and explosions.

We should just do this. :lolol

Fun fact, the 2010s reboot was a blend of CGI and miniatures.

You are defending a product that?s used to scrape and steal real artist?s work. YOU are part of the problem. Lazy useless TRASH for lazy untalented can?t put the effort in people, I stand by that 100%

Not necessarily. The appeal of writing is the 'human touch' behind it. Sacrificing quality for quantity won't end well. Just look at the overhwleming amount of straming services we have right now. Just look at the MCU. Eventually people would be so bombarded with information that they'll tune off.

While I do agree to an extent, the issue is always going to be the abuse of AI and plagiarising other content. Some people publish books entirely written by AI, clogging ebook stores with junk.

Those people are the exceptions rather than the norm. Artists, wirters and other people who pursue cultural contributions typically produce multiple works over their lifetime to refine their skills.

How exactly did you come to this conclusion?

And some people only have One Big Work in them and that's fine, especially in regards to collaborative efforts like filmmaking.

It is a rough experience juggling time, money, resources, and people, not everyone can do it let alone do it well or often and especially while enjoying the process. And that is, I reiterate, fine. And honestly, if you're really concerned about allowing people to create as much as they want, worry less about getting plagiarism engines to be commonplace and more about making it easier for people to eat and keep a roof over their heads.

Tarantino copied Ringo Lamb's "City on Fire" in "Reservoir Dogs." Stephen King uses ghostwriters. They, and many others, do not need AI at all to plagiarize. Fines in this case will work much better than any bans.

Well, what speaks against this is that fans are not at all against the work of ghostwriters. How is AI fundamentally different from them? It?s also debatable about the MCU, because it can also be said that they simply did not keep up with the trends of the time, continuing to suck up to liberal trends in a conflict era.

I agree, but there was a lot of garbage among books long before the advent of AI. This is all about quality editing. Again, it seems to me that fines will solve this problem much better than disputes.

As I wrote: "If a painted explosion is more expensive than a regular one, then what's the point in it?" It's also obvious that it's much easier to pocket money from CGI than from practical special effects. Few people will be able to distinguish graphics for 5 million from graphics for 50 by eye. And if they can, then they can always answer that everything was accidentally deleted and had to be done again. Also, wherever there is big money, corruption inevitably arises. And the film industry consists of liars, libertines and drug addicts, so it is very naive to count on their honesty.

Me and my cousin went to a short upskilling course today to learn how to brew coffee and become baristas.

Now I don't drink coffee (I still maintain that tea is the superior beverage), but after tasting cappucino for the first time in my life, I realised why people get hooked into this stuff. So anyways, they taught us how to brew lattes and espressos and different types of coffees. And well, free coffee is free coffee amirite?

I ended up drinking what I thought was four shots of coffee out of paper cups. And then when I went home and my parents told me how much a shot of coffee actually was, I realised I actually drank the equivalent of eight shots.

Welp.

I warn you, this is a dangerous path. I speak as someone who did five years as a poor wretch working for The Siren. The skills and acquired taste I gained on top of my pre-existing coffee obsession have not exactly made me the easiest person to please in regards to the black brew...

This is a terrible argument. They are HUMAN.

That's it. And they could answer for their plagiarism before society and the law. Why this doesn't happen is a completely different question. But the point is that AI is also used by humans to create works. And, if this person using AI is conscientious enough, then he will clearly check the created work for plagiarism. Let's take a book as an example.There is an author, there is a representative of the publishing house who receives it, there is an editor, most often more than one. And this is still the most simplified scheme. And in the case of a song or film, there will be even more such links. Do you really think that all these people were corrupted by the AI ​​and in other circumstances would have done their job honestly? Of course not. They would have found another way. They would download the book in another language, translate it into Google and replace the names in Word.It would have turned out even more sloppy than with the help of AI.
In principle, I do not understand the desire to see the problem in AI, and not in the person who uses it. It is as pointless as blaming a car for an accident or a bat for a beating. AI is a tool. Advanced, but a tool. Not a person or even a living organism (although even aggressive dogs are the responsibility of their owners). So people should be punished for crimes committed with the help of AI.
Plus, I wonder why the other side of the coin is ignored. AI can also be used to detect plagiarism. Improve the ?search by image? function a little and you?re done. Of course, this requires human supervision and verification, but still the process becomes much easier and faster.
Although this creates the following problem. In the age of postmodernism, how many human-made works can withstand the emotionless machine test? Will it Star Wars pass? Matrix? Films of the same Tarantino? Power Rangers after all? But for many, these films are the foundation of media culture that has shaped their personality. The problem is that plagiarism is already widespread and widespread. They turned a blind eye to it for decades and AI looks like a very belated attempt to draw a line, at the same time throwing responsibility onto someone who cannot fight back. But it's not fair and it won't work.
I sincerely believed that Luddism remained at the beginning of the last century, but apparently, learning from other people?s mistakes is too boring. Bans never work. They didn't work with witchcraft, alcohol, abortion. They won't work with AI either. They will simply transfer the AI ​​to the criminal underground, which will only worsen the situation. But fines are a completely different matter. Simply because they will push to improve the AI ​​and create a version that avoids plagiarism. Not out of good intentions, but to lead the market. Do I really have to explain how the business works?

I post this without context so you can have the same reaction as I did when I unsuspectingly clicked on this :lol

Oh cool, this looks interesting.

*clicks on video*

Me: Wait a second...

EDIT: Oh wait it's literally in the title lol. If you can read some Japanese you'd know what to expect.

Nice try but I knew the twist the second I saw the hair clips. I wasn't born yesterday, I'm not a fool.


Frickin' flashlights ain't getting my soul...

I didn't bother to read it, just clicked and then - "Wait I know this music" :lol

Ain't no fooling our very own local Koronesuki, that's for sure.

Now I just have to figure out what that means.

Well I hope anyone reading this is doing well. Unless you're doing something bad, then I expect you flipping in mid air with an explosion in the background.

Way ahead of ya.

Thinking of buying a Steam Deck now that Valve's releasing them into Australia. Are they any good? Want to get the OLED version.

Well, today sucked.

No shit.

This the worst day in US history.
Unless you’re white,Christian and straight

Agreed. And at the cost of getting banned (might as well, I don’t visit this place anymore so it?d be no skin off my nose), those of you who voted for Trump, there’s a special place in hell just waiting for you when you die. Get fucked you Republican assholes.
