None of the AI generators retrieve things they were trained on, they don't work that way. Everything is original. However our definition of "original" might vary a bit, but so it will vary for any work of art any human artist

The article claims to explain this without reference to the "spookyness" of QM, but in fact it uses an analogous projection postulate as the QM version. After the polarizer, the photon state is projected onto the "measurement

Absolutely, but it's the output of the human (or AI) that plagiarizes that might be ethically wrong or illegal when used in certain ways, not the human (or AI) reading the input documents in the first place.

It's only small faces that are distorted, and they are often heavily distorted, it's not an "uncanny valley effect", they look like disfigured pieces of meat and skin. It's the same in dalle-mini. Dalle2 can clearly

I would suggest scanning through the r/dalle2 sub-reddit, as the submissions there are rated. There are limitations in the way the current crop of AI generators work, but in the hands of someone who knows these and know what prompts to

As a tangent... a human being who reads up on websites (that are not explicitly in the public domain) is in essence also "training" themselves on that data. It would be really short-sighted (and impossible to start with) to forbid

Yeah I agree with you here, it might very well be that the next breakthrough level has to come from even more non-intuitive (from a human standpoint) rules. After all Newtonian mechanics is intuitive just because humans evolved in a macrosc

The generic response to your type of reasoning is that you might need to rethink what you think "why" and "how" and "have a clue" are defined :) The human mind really wants to understand things in terms of the

Yes exactly. Nothing "changes" at the other end (although, there has been arguments regarding the Wigner's Friend thought experiments about this... see Guerin 2021) Just be careful when reading up on this about a subtlety her

Today you don't even need to do any look-up table, most short GPT-3-generated dialogues seem perfectly fine from a Turing-test perspective. That form of the Turing test stopped being useful long ago.. Still, the Turing test was never m

I have an Amiga 1000 and I got a bit tear-eyed when I saw one in Stranger Things season 4! I had a hard-drive on it, an old RLL-encoded with ST506 interface (predates ATA?), and it booted up fine just last month even though the drive is fro
