    If AI lacks one thing, it’s storytelling.

    Good storytelling that evokes emotions is definitely not there yet.

    I am not sure if AI will ever be able to actually get this done. Technically it is impressive what is produced with all the new tools.

    Without the storytelling humankind is not lost yet and not all of us will be unemployed.

    • Wait until we reach ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence), maybe it will be even possible with AGI next year.NBQ00
    • I am very curious.SimonFFM
    • Iam pretty sure AI is or will be able to create great stories. Sadly. AI will creates based on hundreds of years of human creation and mix it all up.HAL9001
    • Next year?? Look at Midjourney or ChatGPT now vs. a year ago.yuekit
    • It's better but not dramatically different. So when is the exponential improvement going to start happening?yuekit
    • I predict instead of AGI, you'll start to see the narrative correct itself: AI is good for some things but won't either kill or save humanity.yuekit

    AI is moving at an insane speed, it’s truly astonishing.

    As of yet, I haven’t seen it do anything other than:
    — mimic prior art
    — increase productivity for menial tasks like writing code, first draft of a document, email, etc.
    — supposedly recommending content and advertising but I have yet to see proof that this actually works and isn’t just marketing snake oil

    So tell me, step by step, how we get to “end of humanity” from here? I don’t get it. Remember, we haven’t seen any demos even close to AGI, only an illusion of it

    • Only uninformed people that don't get the tech will say "AI will end humanity" lol
      LLMs just predict text and dumb idiots call it magic *rolling eyes*

    I was asked to recommend some AI video tools that could be brought in house at my job. As a video professional, I feel so mixed about doing this knowing that the intention is to relieve me of work. Yes, it will help with the low return pain in the ass stuff. But five years from now, with Sora and other tools growing in capability, and AI in general becoming more integrated...It scares me more than excites me.

    • the way to do it, start messing around... be a pro in 5 years using ai.uan

    I'm not going to read an AI generated book
    I'm not going to check out an AI generated Art exhibit
    I'm not going to watch an AI generated film

    I just don't care.

    We need to connect with the artist or creator, feel an affinity for the human touch or eye or thought.

    "Only uninformed people that don't get the tech will say 'AI will end humanity'"

    Yes...except many tech CEOs and people working at companies like Open AI seem to also believe it.

    It's yet another topic where Very Smart People seem to be peddling utter nonsense that sounds vaguely plausible when you hear it on a podcast or something.

    Propaganda, disinformation and conspiracy theories will lead the World straight to WWIII (or IV)

    Fraud, hacking and scammers are going to the next freaking level with all those tools!

    All the creative fields are going in the gutter, machines will entertain us and create the next master pieces. (i think its fucking sad)

    We will question EVERYTHING we see and hear and we wont be able to tell whats real and whats fake.

    We will rely so much on AI for so many things that the world population will slowly become dumber and stop thinking.

    Yes, lots of good things will come out of all this, AI is amazing. But it needs to be tightly framed by the authorities like its a mass destruction weapon. For now everything is getting out like its nothing.

    its all cute and wow until it take down the Human Kind.

    Tyler Perry Puts $800M Studio Expansion on Hold After Seeing OpenAI’s Sora: “Jobs Are Going to Be Lost”

    Over the past four years, Tyler Perry had been planning an $800 million expansion of his studio in Atlanta, which would have added 12 soundstages to the 330-acre property. Now, however, those ambitions are on hold — thanks to the rapid developments he’s seeing in the realm of artificial intelligence, including OpenAI’s text-to-video model Sora, which debuted Feb. 15 and stunned observers with its cinematic video outputs.

    https://www.hollywoodreporter.co…

    • As impressive as Sora is, it can only make minute-long generative clips...it's a long way from that to entire films or shows...yuekit

    A race to AI, huge amount of investment and hype...

    Yet computers and apps are still dumb as shit....

    Just this morning.... Youtube app never remembers what video I was watching just a minute ago. Parking Meter app here requires manual input and typing in the number of the area, and will continue to charge you if you drive away forgetting to "stop" the parking. DAW's I use get crazy confused when I unplug an audio interface.... freeze with a spinning wheel... then pop up with dialogue boxes. Maps on my phone has yet figure out that I only go to 2 or 3 locations consistently for years now since covid. Algorithms on google, reddit, instagram etc is moronic and basic as fuck. Digital life is amazing when you think about it, but also, super shitty and irritating. When does it actually get "intelligent"?

    New report: 60% of OpenAI model's responses contain plagiarism

    https://www.axios.com/2024/02/22…

    For GPT-3.5, "45.7% of all outputs contained identical text, 27.4% contained minor changes, and 46.5% had paraphrased text."

    • This only looked at GPT 3.5 -- however that's still the default model without paid account.yuekit
    • I'm really curious the extent to which this applies to something like Midjourney.yuekit
    • its overdue to design an a.i that sniffs out the most potent cases and make moneys...neverscared
    • you don't really need ai to detect plagiarism (or certainly a LLM isn't very good at it). there are much more efficient algorithms.kingsteven
    • neither method would work on images though obviously. any attempts i've seen to do so will give false positives on original images.kingsteven
    • examples where images are 'reproduced' from the training data they are targeted by prompting specific metadata, and don't produce pixel for pixel copieskingsteven
    • chat-gpt however is a plagiarism machine. their entire business model relies on not crediting sources and the NYT lawsuit highlights that GPT-4 is often worsekingsteven
    • i'm pretty sure that case is a scam, which will establish precedent to let MS freely scrape and commoditise, disguised as punitive measures against OpenAIkingsteven
    • I have no idea how they'll thread the needle. Even if you assume it will benefit big corporations there are wealthy interests on both sides.yuekit
    • However doesn't it seem problematic if OpenAI is telling people to use their app to generate content, and the content is generates qualifies as plagiarism?yuekit
    • yeah, but i mean from my perspective in academia it's no different from copying a chunk from wikipedia without referencing the source.kingsteven
    • our big plagerism scores every year are from students copying each other and you can usually tell who's going to do it before it happens.kingsteven
