Can you compare it to voidcrew if you’ve played that? I want to like a game like this but voidcrew never hooked me and I’m curious how you feel a few days in.

He’s right and this is why his comment is the artwork of the person replying to him. It’s no different from a keyboard. It’s a really advanced, very complicated keyboard.

But I know the same people who argue lemmings aren’t intelligent also don’t want to recognize generated comments as being the property of the user who generated it. It’s “shitposting” and thus should be subject to scorn, ridicule, and has somehow stolen from all commenters everywhere, who have ever lived or ever will live in the future.

Conveniently, this could be a path to competence for those juniors in the long term.

Yeah just start your own instance on a different planet with situations that only provoke your preferred amount of existential dread!

Barring that you’re going to be stuck identifying the sources of this widespread misery and trying to help people overcome it. For most people that might be difficult but I don’t know your budget so I won’t assume. There’s also the option of interacting with machines that pose as happier humans but your goal overall seems contrary to growing that 80% by adding yourself unless I misread your intent.

An empty vessel. A template, if you will.

Trying to come up with original memes for the community that gave you brain damage

Hmm, I’m beginning to think this internet bullshit might not be the best way to get a crab.

What about it specifically do you dislike? This type of setting definitely invites questioning by the audience and can break immersion, but I’m curious about your take on it.

In dungeons and dragons there is a type of hybrid character you can play called an Artificer who treats magic more like technology, and there are a ton of examples in popular media that others have mentioned. I do think you have to determine how and if you’ll keep them distinct if that’s important to your plot, but if they developed alongside eachother maybe the technology of that world relies on magic to work.

Or maybe your magic relies on elder gods that don’t like the mortal hubris of critiquing the gods works so attempts to unravel magic gets you cursed or worse.

I think they can go together and the way you fit them can even become a plot point!

Yes, we do care that it’s unintelligent because that’s the reason it can’t be trusted with anything important. This is not being pedantic. This technology is unreliable dogshit. We’ll still be having this conversation in 2030 if it hasn’t cooked us all or lost it’s undeserved hype.

Do you notice how the original sketch version has very different facial expressions for the punch line (if simplistic sketch art) and the AI doesn’t clearly convey anything by the younger’s facial reaction because the model paints the same “angry/alarm” pattern on both characters? Why is the younger vaguely angry in the AI version? You can make something up like “that’s just the style” but…

There is no answer because there is no style because nobody made this. It’s just a copy missing a piece of the humor the source had that didn’t make it through as statistically relevant even though it DOES contain data for the punchline to observers. Do you see how the next model training on this will actually lose something that’s a concrete part of the joke? Let’s ignore “soul” and say that it dropped the ball on nonverbal communication in a way that’s meaningfully worse to the viewer.

It’s true that people will have a hard time articulating why modeling art and language are worse than actually making them, but I don’t think their concerns are unfounded. It’s slop in my opinion because it loses to napkin art despite having vast resources applied to it. I understand how the difference may seem like a grumpy nitpick but the models can’t train off their own output without a buildup of convolutional traces that poison their outputs eventually and break them according to current studies. It’s clearly missing SOMETHING intangible and whatever people call it, it’s real.
