That's unintentionally hilarious. The voices of the kids when the "Unknown" came out..."Noooooooo....!"

And the Debbie Downer looking meth Oompa Loompa. Just comedy all around!

Corporation don't care. Corporation has access to a giant corpus of text. Corporation is approached by A.I. corporation who says, "We will give you a tidy sum of money if you just let us read what you have there." Corporation just thinks, "Ooo, free money!"

I wanted to know how many square feet of pizza you get with a 42" pie, but I'm having a bad health day and wasn't about to trust my math, so I decided to try Google Gemini (formerly Bard) to see if it could get some fairly basic math right.

Spoiler, it could not.

:rofl:
Gemini even gave a pop-up claiming that it searched Google to verify that the results were correct.

Elsewhere, Wolfram Alpha gave the correct answer:

9.6 versus 1,385.44

That's a pretty big difference.

Even telling Gemini that it got the wrong answer only causes it to redo the math in a different wrong way. Somehow it's getting this:

Google Gemini cannot do math again.png


3.14159 * 21^2 = 1,385.44119. I have no idea how it inflated that number by 2%, and that was even after telling it that 10.1 square feet was a wrong answer.

I'm glad I only put this into Gemini for a laugh, because those answers are just horrible.

Just a short time ago, Rolling Stone interviewed some guys who said that AI music generation from generalized text prompts was "years away".
Spoiler alert: It wasn't.

I read an article about new developments, found a website typed in a general prompt, generated a song, threw that into Clipchamp with some pics and vids from my hard drive, and made this in like 10 minutes.


I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet.

The Washington State Lottery put up a website that let people use AI to "test drive a win", making images of themselves if they won the lotto. A woman uploaded her picture and told it to make a pic of her dream vacation to swim with sharks. It came back with a pic of a topless woman, with her face, kneeling on a bed.

After AI-generated porn report, Washington Lottery pulls down interactive web app

I'm not at all surprised that people running the lottery were also the type to try to grift people using AI.

AI bros are trying to portray opposition as "AI phobia" and are trying to use #BreakThePencil as a slogan, saying "pencil is a slur", and claiming that AI "artists" are oppressed.

Or maybe it's just a troll meme trying to cause outrage. How could anyone possibly know? AI bros are always on the border of self-parody, and a lot of exploitative shitheads are appropriating the language of the oppressed lately.

Gamergate self victimization playbook. Gamers are truly the most oppressed minority.

No mention of electricity costs there. So I'm guessing they're either counting on gamer's parents to foot the bill, unknowingly, or they're hoping that their target group of gamers will have no idea they'll still be paying for this, one way or another.
