GenAI will probably succeed (in the coming years) in many cost cutting directions (e.g. call centers, FAQs). Although the recent issues with NYC's municipal LLM was a pretty good example of where humans still shine.

AI POETRY SLAM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ6xor2SLNU

It's a 53 minute video which diligently reviews several published collections of AI poetry. Spoiler: the poems are bad

The first book "I Am Code" actually has an interesting hook where the authors write about their reasoning and how they went about their experiment and they actually interview several established poets and the videographer admits that although most of the poems are bad a handful are good-ish. Of course the authors did make the LLM churn out more than ten thousand poems and then selected less than 100 for the collection so there was human bias at work in putting the collection together to start with and the good-ish poems are pretty much just the cream skimmed from a slightly more advanced "one million monkeys on typewriters" simulation

Marcel Duchamp's artistic discovery was that "Art" is whatever is put in a museum.

A computer can put out a billion songs, and the real artists is the guy who either re-listens to a song, or tells their friend to check out a song.

When a person strums a song on their guitar to an audience, they are saying "this stuff I am choosing to play to you is important." They are making a choice inside the conversation of all music, no matter how limited their understanding of that conversation is.

Amazing machine vision and AI technology so you could just pick things up in an Amazon store and walk out with it automatically ringing them all up and charging you for them?


Gizmodo posted:

Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with “Just Walk Out” technology, first reported by The Information Tuesday. The company’s senior vice president of grocery stores says they’re moving away from Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors to track what people were leaving the store with.

Just over half of Amazon Fresh stores are equipped with Just Walk Out. The technology allows customers to skip checkout altogether by scanning a QR code when they enter the store. Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped.

It was just a bunch of people in India watching you via security cameras :lol:

You know, I remember seeing that and being quite impressed. I had done some machine vision work at the time and couldn't figure out how they'd track the items and match them to the customer, particularly across multiple cameras.

Well my questions have been answered I guess.

I wonder how many workers this required per store and if it was actually cheaper than just regular staffing.

I just thought that all the items would have RFID tags and could broadcast the items code as it pass through a scanner of some kind as you left the store.

Turns out it was the Theranos version of automatic checkout all along.

I'm more concerned about what will happen when people start training AI on the perfect series of color, shapes, and sounds to keep a hyperactive toddler entertained and quiet for hours.

Wasn't that the big threat in Infinite Jest? A video that's so pleasant all the viewer wants to do is watch it until they die of starvation? Someone get working on that.

I've seen one episode of Totally Spies in my life, and it involved the villain transforming one of the heroines into a humanoid dolphin or something. My take on it was "this is 100% some producer's fetish, right?"

The pleasant video itself is also heavily implied to be a visual simulation of what it's like to be a toddler being mothered so there's some layers there.

Because once we know how to make it smart enough to be a drooling simpleton, there's no reason we can't just keep making it smarter. Or maybe we teach it to make itself smarter.

Actually it's because computers can spend all the time otherwise spent thinking about cheese burgers and jerking off on learning important things and reasoning. Show me a drooling simpleton relieved of the burden of cheese burgers and cum and I'll show you the next Elon Musk.

Serious answer. Hopeful nerds are curve fitting some of the popular analyses of information theories which extrapolate the printing press through digital computing up to a singularity and AGI is being put on the vertical part of the curve because it is surely coming next because information handling and cognition is just an engineering problem like distributing literary works and making computers run your business.
