Truly impressive results, though I find it unsettling that there's a decent chance that the future of all Internet aggregators is going to be "We threw data into computer and it threw out magic thing!"
- djsumdog 6y agoJust wait until AI create random cartoon shows and comedy that end up being funny. That will be uncanny.
- proverbialbunny 6y agoThat's been going on for a while now with young kids television on youtube. It's usually more CGI than cartoon though.
- krapp 6y agoIs there any evidence those are actually AI generated, or just quickly cranked out by humans using templates and scripts? I tend to assume the latter, especially with any of the "Elsagate" style content.
- proverbialbunny 6y agoThat's a good point. I don't know if anyone has leaked any behind the scenes for those videos. Is there a name for a Reverse Turing Test? Because those videos pass it.
- rideontime 6y agoAs far as the Elsagate stuff goes, it's not that the videos themselves were algorithmically generated, but that their creators were driven by YouTube's algorithms to create the content that would generate the most views.
- kick 6y agoI saw an AI 'meme generator' the other day that seemed to make fairly insightful and funny memes. I think the future is close, and...very strange.
- minimaxir 6y agoThe funny thing about the AI meme generator is per the technical write up (https://towardsdatascience.com/meme-text-generation-with-a-deep-convolutional-network-in-keras-tensorflow-a57c6f218e85 https://towardsdatascience.com/meme-text-generation-with-a-d...), that network is even less advanced than the old recurrent neural network approaches. (it uses convolutional neural networks which are more used for images than text nowadays) However, this is the one case where more incoherence works better.
- gwern 6y agoYes, it's a testament to crowdsourcing and filtering. Many people have argued that 'generation + filtering = creativity', and it's impressive what NNs+crowds can do. The NNs are unhindered by any merely human considerations and are indefatigable, while the crowd brings the filtering & evaluation to select just the best candidates.
