You are mixing up grammatical skills with logical thinking skills. Turns out, poetry, rythme, rap, are all low level skills, which the AI easily conquer. To master them, you only need to master language, but not world knowledge. Turns out,

Two factors here: 1. Journalists don't necessarily want to write about 1 topic for their entire lives either. They can pivot, and its no harder than finding a different job for a journalist. 2. Journalist writers have a responsibility

There's no need to play the edgelord here. Your average person does not have $200USD/month lying around for news. Even cable packages aren't that expensive. But they don't need that much either, just budgeting $15 a mont

You are literally demonstrating how substack "does something right to spread your writing beyond your direct network" On substacks, writers own their brands. Their own brand is plastered everywhere on their website. Compare that t

Oh, if you have good enough content that's also important to people. People will pay. I've started paying for an AI substack because the news is so important to me, and I couldn't find high quality & deep coverage in main

"access to a multitude of voices" You mean a multitude of groupthinked, editor supervised voices? More people != better opinions unless there is a constant debate. And the modern subscription driven model for large newspapers mean

It absolutely has happened. I've seen intense rage and despair for even top tier 2D artists, Japanese, Chinese, Western all alike. Like top of industry, massive fanbase, they all understand there is no sugarcoating it anymore. AI impro

Its not $ constrained. The existing cloud providers don't have 10000 A100s lying around to ramp up at any time. There's a very limited amount of A100s and H100s on the market. TSMC is printing them like candy, but it still takes t

Thanks for the detailed reply. My point was that CPU performance seemed to have stopped being the differentiating factor in computers a long time ago. That was evident even in the 2000s. It was impossible to make a CPU that ran much faster

I remember as a young gamer, asking my Dad whether Nvidia or Intel was a bigger company. It seemed obvious to me, since people always bragged about their GPUs online, but never the CPU, that Nvidia is the more important company. At that tim

"there’s nothing really special about it once’s it’s working to a decent enough level ? " Art has a pyramid revenue distribution. The top tier of works earn way way more than the 'average' work, this is true for movies,

If you want an example, go check out DALLE2 subreddit vs SD subreddit. The former is a wasteland, the latter is more popular than r/art (despite having 1% of subscribers, it has more active users at any given moment) If you want someth

Its incredible. The language is not bureaucratic, its elegant, precise, and clear. Like written by a passionate person who cares about the topic, rather than a government drone.

"it encourages commercial projects to hire human artists so that they can gain the protection of copyright" How is this relevant to AI copyright? If AI art is copyrightable, they'd still need someone to generate the AI art. T

AI is far more productive, and easier in modifying source pictures, than photography. Controlnet is not a mere tint, it can generate 20 artstyle variations of the source image in 30 seconds. No artist will have any income if this those AI o

Is a photograph of a painting itself copyrighted? Img2img or controlnet can basically do that, in less than 30 seconds. Even as someone extremely pro-AI art, I don't think AI-generated content should have copyright in the usual sense.

As I said: "that AI will also master therapy, sales, supervising children, customer service etc, as it now has an strong understanding of human behaviour." Novel writing is like the training ground for emotional intelligence in AI

At very minimum, better novels. Current text transformers are horrendous in writing long form stories (ie, longer than 1 page). Because they don't have a concept of long-term memory. It has to keep everything in its short term memory (

Midjourney is completely different from SD on a computational level. SD is optimized for speed, it takes 5 seconds to generate a 512x512, and their internal optimizations are bringing it down to 0.5 seconds (stated on their twitter). To ach

Its not a thought experiment. The 30 years war was fought over the printing press at its core. Newspapers are nothing compared to the bible in terms of misinformation risk, harmful cults regularly spring up to this day by astray pastors mak

This, image AI has been a decade in the making already. Previously it was GANs for facial recognition, for edge detection, ultimately for self-driving. The impact of that on society has been insignificant, so a big overestimation. Then came

Its also literally the worst type of artist to be. Concept art is the most vulnerable type of art to AI. AI already does concept art way better than humans, 1 concept artist can now do the job of 10. Because AI is good at variation and crea

Why do you think an 'art department' is still needed? The only reason why in-house art departments are needed, is because previously its hard to communicate 'exactly what you want' to an artist, hence in-housing to reduc

This can also be trivially circumvented: Step 1. Hire some outsourced artist in the rest of the world, where people don't care about AI art regulation. Step 2. Watch as those outsourced artists outproduce the domestic artists, since th

Light novels (From Japan) already balance these two demands. Illustrations depict the core characters, and images are far better than words in depicting appearances. Words do the rest. AI will just mean most fiction start following this sam

There a huge demand for animation, that is currently being unsatisfied. Youtube used to have a large genre of short-animations. They all died out, because their production costs are way higher than what weekly-ad-revenues can sustain, compa

I don't think its comparable. Generative AI is a far far greater leap than CGI is. CGI is a mere evolutionary/sustaining innovation, movies/shows pre and post-CGI are largely made by the same studios. CGI just lowered costs c
