Representing reality isn’t the point. Not stealing from artists, and delegating the artistic choices is. Even if you’re using photoshop, you’re making the choices about what edits to make etc
The necklace/eyes jump right out at me too--I'm NOT saying it's bad, I'm saying it's not a big deal either way imo.
That being said, I don't know how prevalent the problem is in the cosplay community--if people are generating whole cosplays from scratch and passing them off as cosplay that's just silly lol
There are a few people out there generating whole cosplays - before Ai they called them self digital cosplayer and edited / drew the cosplay in but right now they just copy paste some prompts and are getting high resolution cosplay pics which annoys me.
If you see some rain-room photoshoot cosplays with blue background light - they are 100% AI generated
I like to use AI as a tool for keeping notes and as reference. It has its uses, but if you just use it for art and claim that its not theft or anyhting else....get real. But its still a tool that can be used for the right things.
It can't actually do that. It's lying to you about keeping notes, and it makes up references. These things only store the like, last however-many messages and it parses them all each time you send a prompt. Eventually, the older stuff just falls off.
LLMs do not store shit. They're chatbots made to lie to you, nothing more.
WJat Im meaning is you can use ai to take notes and save them in a text file, and then instead of altering anything in that file in the future, you use ai to make a new text fil from where you left off. But there is lots of pitfall with doing this, like if you ask AI to "summarize" a text, it cant actually do that. there is many many things that at first glance it appears ai can do, but in reality it cant, and if you make any tiny little assumption, youll be fucked by it at some point.
Yes. I understand this. That is, as I just said, not the LLM that's keeping the notes. YOU are keeping the notes in a farkin' text file. The LLM is superfluous.
... wait, wait... scroll up, hit the ... and do "context" until you get to the start of the thread. I think you got the usernames confused at some point, for you have mistaken me for someone who favors clankers.
AI is fantastic... For formatting and sorting data. For searching through libraries to find information. For finding errors in code. For medical scanning and diagnosis. Few other niche jobs.
It shouldn't be used for anything else, because it sucks at EVERYTHING ELSE. Especially anything creative.
I'm a teacher and AI's been an amazing tool for me because I'll find a really good article or reading about a topic but its either too long or too advanced for my Middle School Students; AI's saved me hours of work in summarizing them into digestible chunks. You do need to make sure you read them because it'll occasionally obsess over weird things.
Ummm. You also need to double check EVERY listed source to see what it ACTUALLY says, because AI makes shit up. All the time. Fake sources, fake quotes, incorrect data, complete nonsense.
Fuck, and you're a teacher?!? Your students are fucked. I hope your ass gets fired before you create even more morons.
Jesus fucking Christ...
Seriously, just fucking stop. AI isn't Google (and thanks to AI, Google isn't trustworthy anymore either.)
Oh, I'm not asking it for the sources, I'm providing the source and its cutting it down. It's really hard to find articles and readings for History that fit exactly what I need and writing them fully can take hours I don't have. I'll take an Encyclopedia entry or Smithsonian article and use AI to cut it down to be more manageable for my students. I'm also reviewing it and all that to ensure accuracy and often have to re-write a paragraph or two, but it helps as a good starting off point.
Oh shit, I sincerely apologize. I totally misunderstood. Yeah, as long as you're giving it the info and double checking that's really cool.
Sorry, I've seen WAY too many people, including one of my wife's college professors and several fellow students obviously using AI to create or complete assignments.
I toyed with Stable Diffusion for a while. The absolute trash results got me back into using Blender and actually making my own shit. I'm not good, but at least I'm making it.
My favorite interaction with it was when I told a techbro how it works, and he scoffed.
I was quoting a company brochure.
Techbros always refuse to understand how *anything* works. Anything at all. Not math, not economics, no piece of tech, no industry, no jobs... I'm not entirely convinced they can read and I only ever see them online. (Not that I think they can figure out text-to-speech either.)
's a derogatory term. Someone who pretends to understand technology, is hugely impressed by it... and yet really only understands "stock price go up = good". The sort of person who was heavily into NFTs a few years ago, and crypto a few years before that, and now they're convinced that ChatGPT... the chatbot that constantly lies to its users... is the Next Big Thing.
They're always *excited* at the prospect of scamming people and with their latest craze costing people their livlihoods.
They're Elon Musk and his fanbase. They're usually libertarians. They frequently want the age of consent lowered. They're constantly proposing phenomenally stupid ideas like establishing an island nation that runs on crypto... without understanding how to grow or import food. Or turning actual jobs that require intelligence over to a predictive text chatbot... without ever testing if it can do those jobs. Yanno, more money than sense and not always very much money either.
Ah yes. A single person making a cool costume based on a fictional character is DEFINITELY the same thing as stealing the work of TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHILE DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT.
Yep. Totally the same.
I'm sorry you're too fucking stupid to understand the difference.
Put nicely, there's no point in using AI for anything art related. It's not your creativity you're expressing, you're plagiarizing someone else's hard work and their creativity and recoloring it while screaming "OC". You literally are worse than the artist of Cold Steel the hedgehog if you use AI, at least he took the effort to recolor sonic in MS paint.
I use AI/generative text to help me order food from doordash while cosplaying.
It can also be helpful in my GPS to get me to a con. Me and my wife fight over AI in our Spotify Playlist. Im okay with random and suggested songs, while she will die on her Playlist hill, and have a Playlist to commemorate it.
Can AI use a hot glue gun? Thats what I want to see next. Why are humans slaving away in the Hot Glue pits when a droid could be attaching things for us?!
What they're literally doing is: copying shit from the chatbot into their imgur comment. There's a LOT of phone/bot farm shit that makes up shit they supposedly use the chatbot for, none of which are things the chatbot is actually able to *do*... but will make shit up as if it could.
As a cosplayer you really shouldn't support Ai made stuff like songs. Beeing creative and skilled is something we should support and AI is ruining those things
It does read like they don't mind clanker music, but I think they meant songs similar to the playlist that are added when when you let it autoplay, which is confusing, cuz that's just normal ass algorithms, not ai.
"Normal-ass algorithms" like the ones automagically classifying songs are AI. That's their whole point. It's the same type of big-data statistical "learning" that underlies ChatGTP or Stable Diffusion. The technology that is inspiring our current Butlerian jihad has quietly been proliferating throughout computing technology for the last two decades, but only got noticed by a lot of people in the last couple of years when its social & economic impacts started hitting closer to home.
If you wanna talk not understanding, failing to read user names so you call someone a hypocrite b/c you think they wrote a whole string of comments from different posters is pretty bad.
But similarly, calling machine learning "just a bunch of your 'normal-ass algorithms' stacked together" is also dumb. ML (which is the type of AI that the haters call AI) isn't "just a bunch" of "normal algos". It's procedurally-generated algorithms based on procedurally-identified patterns in large datasets.
Imagine being upset at accessibility features. Ai/generative text i'm willing to bet is so that they can VTT or TTV (voice to text and text to voice since you might not understand the acronyms).
