I was recently looking for wall hangings for my daughter’s room and a pretty hairbrush for myself and was appalled at how pervasive AI art is printed on products like these and many others. Folks are out there right now to make a buck on the customer who smashes buy before they check over an item carefully. It’s really frustrating to really like the look of something until you notice that that one fox doesn’t have feet or that one flower was clearly hallucinated… and then to have it happen over and over and over with almost everything that is available. It’s on us to check, but I also really wish the folks making this stuff realized it’s also a little bit on them to stop wasting our time and tricking us into buying crap. AI really shouldn’t be used as a start to finish product design tool, at least not at this time. If they use AI to write something, people absolutely need to fact-check and edit the document before releasing it, and with art, it’s the same. Or if not, at least disclose “the art on this item is an AI product.” #art #aiart #thoughtstr View quoted note →

These books are designed to trick people by other people who have no scruples. They look at first glance like they’re written by a human with a picture and a name. Some examples I’ve seen fall apart under scrutiny, like weird repetitive wording or a man’s name with a woman’s picture for the author. But the best defense against made up bs you can have is a little base of actual knowledge you can check new information against. This also makes me think about how crazy it is that people are asking AI questions they could easily look into a lot better with just a little extra effort. AI still gets stuff wrong ALL the time. AI is kind of like an eager but not very bright person who tries to sound informed by skimming internet search results indiscriminately and making up stuff to fill in the gaps. If you wouldn’t trust that kind of person with your project, like what wild plants are safe to put in your body, don’t use AI for it. #ai #foraging #grownostr View quoted note →

Don’t worry, Bitcoin, you’re not the only technology being attacked for using water #facebook 🙄 #ai #aiart #anyexcuse

Been a while since we met for DND! At long last, our party will finally enter the Feywild. @Paul used Stable Diffusion on @Start9 to image my human ranger character! #DND #TTRPG #aiart

Muahahahahaaaaaaaaaa #ai #jobsearch #jobs #hr

Know what your kids are watching! No, I’m not going to fearmonger about TV sex or violence. We have even stranger, more fundamental things to worry about today. I frequently wonder what the world will be like when my daughter and her cohort are grown. Sometimes I think the future is bright, and then sometimes I learn things that make me worry, like parents are just plunking their babies in front of literal incoherent nonsense for hours and hours. It’s worse than what Mr. Hoel said, that these are things created by an alien mind — they are things created by NO mind. Literal mindless entertainment for the first time in history. https://fountain.fm/episode/nHeo1s1OQoP4d2LLDvPQ #ai #kids #parenting #podcast #grownostr

#ai #devs — are any of y’all training an AI on 3D anatomical models? It seems to me that would help a great deal with faces, fingers, natural motion, and more. #tech #grownostr

I fully support this. What a clever and elegant solution to the problem, respecting the desires of artists without adopting the idea of intellectual property. #ai #aiart #technology #artists #ip #anarchy #grownostr View quoted note →

Haven’t watched this yet but from the description… wow. What a creative use of technology ❤️‍🔥 #ai #dreamstr #luciddreaming #neuroscience #grownostr View quoted note →

Cool brainstorm with @Paul today: In the present (destined to worsen) age of AI deepfakes, #Nostr can be used to cryptographically prove that you are you. Maybe others have thought of this already, but I think it’s pretty cool. #identitytheft #ai #grownostr

Which AI model should I use to write code for me? Preferably free but also please tell me the best. #coding #AI #grownostr #asknostr

AI Weapons Efficient energy sources Drugs and medicines Healthful food Self-built structures, especially if made with alternative materials Education outside of their system Speech Free movement and assembly The free market The list goes on and grows longer all the time. Anything people can do to provide for themselves and their communities without government “help” IS dangerous… to the idea that the state is necessary. The fiction on which the whole structure relies. #anarchy #ai #gunstr #foodfreedom #homeschooling #education #freemarket #freespeech #grownostr View quoted note →
