No; the computational cost of storing and navigating hashes will eventually exceed the cost of just running it locally. Even assuming that most of the work is done server side, the power (and latency) cost of making a POST request would pro

A few thoughts. For starters, multiple AIs working together (or even against each other) to create an output is not a new thing. Adversarial networks are already pretty common in image-generation to discriminate against ugly or incorrect ou

Agree or disagree with it, my overall point is that once you leave the safe-harbor of simple scripting, GPT falls off hard. It's entirely possible that I've just been pushing it too hard, but for a lot of queries I get conflicting

There's no right answer - thousands of people learn to program in many different ways. If you're self-directed, I suggest you familiarize yourself with a forgiving programming language like Python and start writing software. It&#x

It's great that you can take a different approach to achieve the same outcome. For one-off scripts with less context than answer, GPT will "work magic" as you've described. Now, zoom out to what people actually work on

Your use of that image may qualify as commercial. Disclosure is up to you, but the same Fair Use clause that protects most AI art will almost certainly not apply to your use case. Whether that makes it legal or not isn't clear yet, and

That feels like wishful thinking. When I grew up I was told flying cars would be everywhere, since we could make planes and cars just fine! Logical next step, right? Well... not exactly. The progress of technology has been inspiring, but be

Unless you work in defense, automotives, manufacturing or other jobs where lives are on the line. I'd greatly prefer if we don't defer that decisionmaking to unpaid robots.

You have not just described a vacuum, though. AI is not going to make animated films apropos of nothing - that idea is fundamentally flawed. Someone has to set it up, someone has to pay for it's electricity, and eventually a human has

I use it regularly, but my use case doesn't really extend beyond compositing images. Works great for me though, my only complaint is the startup time.

Your hardware should be fine for inferencing, as long as you don't bother trying to get the GPU working. My $0.02 would be to try getting LocalAI running on your machine with OpenCL/CLBlas acceleration for your CPU. If you're

Presumably someone made/sponsored it and would take responsibility. This idea that AI "does things" in a vacuum does not make sense to me and I don't understand why people assume it's the end goal.

True, but the new model lets you replace the entire screen assembly without even removing the backplate IIRC. It won't be like damaging your Switch or Macbook's display.
