TheAweDude MMitchell lol ask anyone in psych or neuro and we will tell you that there is still so much we don't understand about how humans learn, or any animal really. We don't know the principles. And 'AI' people don't know about shit besides computers (trust me, it's my day job). Yr analogy sux

Remember that 'air head' video made with Sora? Turns out it used a ton of rotoscoping and manual VFX.

A 'head' would pop back on, and the balloon colors would keep changing from generation to generation. TL;DR researchers and developers of generative AI tools really need to…

To all those who struggle to understand the difference between a human who goes to a museum and paints a picture back home and the way generative AI works - maybe this helps?
Unless your lack of understanding is ideologically motivated of course... #genAI #AI

The thing with averages is that they tend to look very similar.

That is, if you average out many random things, the results will start to resemble.

AI art is simply averaging out human art hence it loses the diversity that makes art what it is.

Apple’s Vision Pro is a bad product with an even worse vision for the future of computation.

New sales numbers prove it’s a failure, but more than that it shows the idea of tech’s inevitability is a myth. We can stop tech that doesn’t serve us. disconnect.blog/the-vision-pro…

“EdTech firms conceptualise education as a market rather than as a common good.” Lulu says it as it is.
