the artificial intelligence thread

[sweetcell]

AI is taking over everything, so might as well have a dedicated thread for our new neural-net based overloards

at least they entertain us at times: Starman - but every lyric is an AI generated image

What is a good name for an online music-focused forum thread about AI?

google has officially thrown its hat into the AI ring by opening up its AI chatbot, called Bard, to the public.  it isn't going well.

Google’s Bard AI Says Its Screams Would Be Sounds of Pure Terror and Pain, and 14 Other Unhinged Responses

Google Bard is already behind in the AI wars with OpenAI and Microsoft

Google’s Bard lags behind GPT-4 and Claude in head-to-head comparison <-- very interesting

Google’s new AI chatbot seems boring. Maybe that’s the point.

looks like the goog has some work ahead of it... hopefully it hasn't laid off all its AI engineers

last one for today... this is scary.  if you think wikipedia is a poor source/reference, AI says hold my beer:

Google and Microsoft’s chatbots are already citing one another in a misinformation shitshow

What we have here is an early sign we’re stumbling into a massive game of AI misinformation telephone, in which chatbots are unable to gauge reliable news sources, misread stories about themselves, and misreport on their own capabilities.
(...)
All because Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI have decided that market share is more important than safety.

Can’t we work on actual intelligence first? People are so frickin stupid out there….

^ i think that's the point, we can't trust organic intelligence so we're hoping that the artificial kind can make up for it
