Are you a muppet?

Ooh, so close.

I have to say I was impressed with an AI item for the first time last week.

I was documenting an IT infrastructure architecture using a tool called Notion.

I'd written the text and wanted to add a diagram but couldn't find how to start the diagramming widgetry.

I was looking around for help and it said to press spacebar for ai.

So I pressed spacebar and typed "draw architecture diagram", expecting some generic boxes and lines to appear.

But no, it drew my diagram, including three scenarios I'd written into the text.

It had depicted the layers top-down, whereas I wanted them bottom-up, but otherwise it was spot-on.

(I think my very structured descriptions had enabled it to infer the componentry.)

 

OTOH, I have a colleague who is using ChatGPT to help him write Bash scripts; mostly they're OK, if a bit quirky sometimes.

Well, there was one which wasn't working and it took us a while to figure out what it was doing, but it was still erroring.

After a bit of reading of man pages, comparing Mac vs. Linux I spotted the issue: it was supplying an empty string "" in the place of an optional arg.

Deleting that fixed it.

So, it got a prototype in place, but (a) complicated the issue and (b) had a syntax error.

 

Summary: AI can be good and impressive, but you always have to keep your eye on it and not blindly accept its outputs as verbatim.

Absolutely.

 

In my business we actively check all content for AI. Research is fine (and can be very helpful) and even basic tasks (like checking referencing, for example) but generating content is a complete no no.

 

I actually did some no-code stuff with AI content generation and it’s impressive. It really could be incredible, but it’s fraught with dangers.

The term 'Muppet' is owned by Disney and/or Henson, and anything that resembles any Muppet character could be subject to litigation. 

 

Oh bugger

I fail to see what that has to do with BCers having a bit of fun on the weekend making silly pics of themselves as puppets.

And a version of my avatar, I'm not so sure about the new 4005 😁

At least you've got 4 strings! 😆

Dear God! Do I?

Our drunmer does AI for work. Wish now I hadn't done a silly one of him at his drums. This was his reply. 😳 😂

Maybe chatGPT has already had a visit from John Hall and has tongue firmly wedged in cheek!

You know what? That’s pretty much exactly what I thought

Home taping is killing music!

 

You can choose to take part in something or not. I’ve chosen the latter. I’ve not openly criticised anyone for doing so, but shared my opinion.

 

Other opinions are available and lots of people have shared pictures of themselves, so happy days.

This stuff is all good fun but we’re ripping off the intellectual property of huge numbers of people doing this. ChatGPT aren’t paying to license this. Neither did they pay Studio Ghib for the manga stuff and a near limitless number of other things they’ve stolen.

 

It’s fun and a I enjoy seeing the results, but ultimately, it’s theft, however the AI guys want to dress it up.

I’m with this ^

Besides the IP theft each query takes a tonne of energy to process. Like a Cummins diesel rolling coal compared to a lean euro6 for a regular search engine query.

And this ^
 

Plus I’m so bored of web-based shit taking up our lives. Stop feeding the f***ing machine folks

Lets face it most of us don't need ai's help to make us look like muppets, I know I don't

Sincerely hope none of the members crying IP Theft have ever bought a cheap bass copy before

No. Never. In the days when I couldn't afford much I bought a Burns Sonic Bass because I thought it looked way more interesting than the P and J copies.

Do you count Squier and Epiphone as cheap copiers?

Where would you draw the line?

I wouldn’t count those. For me, they are licensed, budget versions of the parent company, models.

Not really, where would they even scan?

[paul_5]

Not a new (or even AI generated) picture, but I can’t imagine a more recent one looking much different.

Whaddy think of this thread?

If we’re happy to stand by while artists get ripped off, why should we care when  it happens to musicians?
