That nobody uses on their phones. It’s like that install of angrybirds everyone has that they haven’t touched in a decade

I have found that AI is great for sorting out your libraries, drawing and helping double check footprints managing your BOM. I still draw my schematics and layout my boards. I haven’t found it any good for those tasks yet. There are too many stupid errors it makes. I do get it to review my work though and often it catches things I have missed.

Or you could you know, answer the question…

Autorouting PCBs doesn’t really give usable results on all but the simplest cases. It seems to be a very difficult problem to solve even though a human doing it is only following a relatively simple bunch of rules and goals in his or her head.

The only reason people use google apps is because they are cheap and reliable. The user experience is awful. Have you ever tried to find a document you had open yesterday in drive?

I am the same way. I am a music lover, I am good with pitch, can accurately tune a guitar from new strings to within a few cents with no reference. But I can barely clap along with a metronome for more than a few bars. I have had years of lessons but my lack of rhythm really makes it almost impossible to progress despite putting in a lot of practice. My wife who plays guitar for fun will walk up while I am laboring over a piece that I have been working on for weeks and do a better job after two tries. It’s really demoralising! It feels like most people can do rhythm like walking or breathing, but for me it takes 100% CPU and leaves little for anything else.

I am a color science and image expert and couldn’t make heads nor tails of the dark table UI. I wanted to like it but it is just so horrible to use that I couldn’t stick with it.

Ah mine do this. It’s suuuper annoying. I assumed it was because I use them connected to my work Linux workstation.

One flaw with this assumption is that images are available in literally counts of trillions to train on. With 3D models there are virtually no production quality models freely available to train on. Even companies like ILM or Weta have nowhere near the number of models that would be needed to train a robust modelling AI

The thing is CAD models look perfect. They are completely un-editable in that state however. You have to go back to the cad program to make edits to the original solid model.

That’s not really how 3D modelling works. You can’t just improve some of the model. You have to improve all of it. Fixing to top of the paddle also changes how the junction at the handle goes and so on. That’s why no one has solved ai 3D modelling yet. It’s like asking a gymnast to learn how to do the second half of a handspring first, and then for step 2 they can learn the first half. It doesn’t work like that.

If they were the guy responsible for maintaining the hydraulics on the logging machinery, who gives a shit if they know anything about trees.

I have one on my desk at work. I use it 2-3 times a week for quickly calculating things. It gives me a good feeling every time I use it.

A micro is far superior on both these metrics.

The materials that go into a chip are nothing. The process of making the chip is roughly the same no matter the power of it. So having one chip that can satisfy a large range of customers needs is so much better than wasting development time making a custom just good enough chip for each.

No, because the child is behaving as a curator which is a valuable act. I never hear ai “artists” claim to be curators, they always claim to be creatives.

I don’t agree with your music synthesizer analogy. I own a synthesizer, however I don’t possess any musical talent whatsoever. I cannot for the life of me produce anything remotely listenable from the thing. I know how to use it, but cannot make good music. You just need to look at some street performer banging on a plastic bucket and entertaining a circle of people to realise that the ability to make music is orthogonal to having the right tools.

AI art is more like me pressing the demo button on the synth, looking you in the eye as it plays the preset tune and saying “I made this”

My theory about why it helps gamers to have a higher frame rate is that for something like a whip turn, with a low frame rate, your brain has to take a brief moment to work out where it ended up looking after the pan. But if your frame rate is high enough, you brain can keep updating its state during the pan because the updates are continuous enough not to lose “state” during it. This means when you finish the fast move, there is no delay while you reorient yourself for a few milliseconds.
