Needs more colors, less fun joke and more AI garbo. /s
My point is that it’s also ugly.
To me, that’s just the case for camera and calendar. Maps is IMHO perfect (except the unnecessary G) and the red-and-white envelope is quite well-known.
It’s not even more aesthetic. Just more unified in branding.
It’s funny tou bring up luddites, since they actually had the right idea about technology like LLMs. They were highly skilled textile workers who opposed the introducyion of dangerous medhanical looms that produced low quality goos, but were so easy to use so that a child could work them (because they wanted to employ children). They only got their bad name of backward anti-technology lunatics afterwards. But they were actually concerned for low quality technology being deployed to weaken worker’s rights, cheapen products and make bosses even richer. That’s actually the main issue I have with what’s happening with AI.
There’s a book by Brian Merchant called “Blood in the machine” on the topic, if you’re interested. He’s also on a bunch of podcasts, if you’re not the big reader.
I’m referring to “bullshit” in the way argued in this paper:
Applications of these systems have been plagued by persistent inaccuracies in their output; these are often called “AI hallucinations”. We argue that these falsehoods, and the overall activity of large language models, is better understood as bullshit in the sense explored by Frankfurt (On Bullshit, Princeton, 2005): the models are in an important way indifferent to the truth of their outputs.
The technology is neat. I’ll give you that. But it’s incredibly overhyped.
If you think LLMs suck, I’m guessing you haven’t actually used telephone tech support in the past 10 years. That’s a version of hell I wish on very few people.
I’m specifically claiming that they’re bullshit machines. i.e. they’re generating synthetic text without context or understanding. My experience with search engines and telephone support is way better than what any LLM fed me.
There have already been cases where phone operators where replaced with LLMs which gave dangerops advice to anorexig patients.
They’re already deployed and they’re less than helpful, because LLMs are bullshitting machines.
Lemmy is good, because there’s less AI drivel. But that’s currently changing. =.=
Dammit, I made the prospect sound too much like fun. :/
Depends.
Old, niche videogames where the fanbase doesn’t have the capacity to do it? Sure. James Cameron replacing Arnold with a UHD leather Muppet in True Lies? Not so much.
Harrison Ford doesn’t move as if his limbs don’t have any mass, though.
Why do they use mocap if the animations still look fake and videogamey?
I’m not really convinced that “ahoy” was that common beforehand. AFAIK, Graham Bell wanted a different greeting than what was commonly used as to differentiate greeting on the phone with greeting IRL.
I think that gag was referencing Graham Bell’s suggestion.
How about this one?, e.g.:
Israel: “Let’s wait till the verdict before WE CONDEMN THE UNANNOUNCED ICC ARREST FOR NETANYAHU!”
