A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. White text on black

AI Design Logic

Panel 2. A guy sits in a restaurant at a table with a checkered table cloth. A waiter stands near, hands behind back waiting attentively.

Guy: Get me a cheese pizza

Panel 3. The waiter returns with a pizza in hand.

Panel 4. The guy gestures proudly at the pizza. The waiter looks less than amused.

Guy: Wow, look what I made!

    So tweaking a variable in one context isn’t the same as tweaking a variable in another? I simply don’t agree but it would be interesting to see why you feel that’s the case.

    So you want me to spit out the proprietary algorithms adobe owns for you to know they are using algorithms for their software? Like you want to go through canny edge detection, singular value decomposition and convolutional neural network algorithms to be sure they’re both algorithms you could work through on paper?

    Almost every single last processor around is deterministic aka you can work through the algorithm step by step by hand if you wanted.

    Once again we are having two separate discussions and you keep trying to merge them into one discussion and tbh it’s getting annoying to parent you on this. You’re free to make the argument that particular actions by particular actors are bad and you’re free to make the argument NN are bad but you keep trying to conflate the two and it’s now childish since I’ve pointed out multiple times that it’s two separate discussions. Like Sam Altman isn’t literally chatGPT or the personification of neural networks, he is a dude separate from NN, you get?

    Your final argument means any music, images, movies, or games processed on a computer in any way are not of any interest so essentially everything since 2000. You know your comments are being processed by a logic machine right?

    We’re literally communicating to one another through many levels of logic processing from your input device to the screen, operating system, to the entire internet and servers between you and I and you say you’re disinterested. I call bullshit. If you’re that disinterested stop using anything that processes algorithms for you, no electronic or mechanical computers whatsoever DS.

    Anyways I’m now assuming you’re just straight trolling and wasting my time with pure nonsense.

      It’s in the comment you’re replying to. As I said I simply don’t feel changing shader variables or something along these lines is the same as generating content that doesn’t exist at all. I’m sure you agree mixing paints till you get the color you want also isn’t the same as outsourcing the painting altogether.

      I’m just going to leave the rest be, it’s evident we disagree and I stopped reading at the part where you feel you’re in any position to “parent” me on anything.

        You’re essentially making the argument that because some organizations and people have made poor choices in their endeavor to develop AI that the technology itself is the problem.

        It’s like someone saying water is being gathered in immoral ways by some companies that are displacing native people and destroying natural habitat therefore water is bad. And you keep making this argument again and again.
