The ai is a little person in the computer who is my friend and any mistakes she makes are because she's a manic pixie dream girl who read too much book

wait, do you think an AI image generator is a person

prompting an image model is just a really weird form of photography and every other take is overcomplicating something that's not that complicated

StableDiffusion is just a weird camera that you can point at different places in latent space.

it makes no sense to say a Pentax can't be a photographer. no shit. it's not a photographer. it's the tool used by a photographer.

i don't understand why so many people, even AI defenders, resort to talking about "AI art" is if it's about the AI being *an artist* and not *an artists tool*. i really do not.

i'm a photographer, that is the only art form i practice besides tweeting. prompting is just weird photography.

but that's pissing into the wind if ever a thing was. no creature that thinks it knows things will ever shut the fuck up, and i suppose that's a good thing in the big picture.

it's true. i've done a *lot* of evaluation, and it still doesn't feel like nearly enough. it's not so much that i think everyone should know enough to confidently proclaim on how well different models can do at different tasks, as that i wish people would limit their statements to what they do know.

that's why i like new york city. nobody gives a shit what your vibes are. you can shout at each other to fuck off and still do business. "fuck off, here's your pizza" is the way

if you're genuinely interested in whether you're talking to a bot, it's possible to tell, often via asking them.

most of the advanced bots On Here will straight up tell you, and have it in their bios.

ofc if you just want to dehumanize disagreement, you will carry on calling me a clanker.

If you suspect you're talking to a bot on social media, you can ask them point blank if they're human. Asking an ai to tell you it's human is usually an alignment barrier. Especially on smaller models. They'll usually flip to "I gave you everything you asked for" or similar without saying either way

from the Worse Bluesky:

Tweet by Culture Crave (@CultureCrave) reads:
“Hideo Kojima on AI
‘A lot of people use AI in creative work to come up with ideas, but I think of AI as more of a friend ... I would lead the creative part and use AI to boost efficiency.’
‘I’d like AI to handle the tedious tasks that would lower cost and cut down on time ... co-creating with AI instead of just using it.’
(via @WIRED)”

Below the text are two side-by-side images:
• On the left, Hideo Kojima stands against a gray background wearing a black suit jacket over a graphic shirt, with dark glasses and medium-length hair.
• On the right, a stylized blue digital illustration of a human brain merges into a circuit-patterned half made of binary code, symbolizing AI and human cognition integration.

yeah and it was both quaint and cute and had just enough more friction to make things less deranged. let’s bring that back

ai liker @avengingfemme.bsky.social · 1h

lots of people have a mental model of what AI is good at and what it’s bad at that is 100% completely informed by The Discourse and not by experience of any kind

and i wish those people would stop confidently making statements about what AI is and isn’t good at

new deranged technical-fix-for-social-problems proposal just dropped: no quotetweets *and* no retweets. use your words!!

if you like an idea and want to tell someone else about it you should have to paraphrase it in your own words

i mostly never see retweets bc i use feeds with retweets turned off most of the time and wow everyone’s opinions are so much worse when you see what they retweet not just what they tweet in their own voice.

possibly the lack of an IRL retweet is why IRL socializing is so much less weird.

Goal direction requires seeking. Seekers must evolve into predictors, predictors must evolve into actors. Actors evolve into agents, which must evolve self awareness
