All this song and dance to delay the inevitable death of "ad supported journalism" by a few more months.

Can't wait for open source AI to catch up and watch all these "safeguards" crumble down. Although I have a sinking feeling that they'll be in cahoots with the congress by then, protecting us from all those unauthorized non-OpenAI-bot scariness.

Would your question change if the tutor was a person? How do you know if anything anyone teaches you is correct?

Do you have a definitive answer to that question? Can you point to anyone who does?

All your question does is give people an excuse to make up alternate history in order to argue whichever side of the argument they already believe. It serves little purpose in the dialogue of defining AI and human creativity.

Exactly this. Unless the author had been in a dark cave for the last ~5 years and just emerged yesterday, this article is just regurgitated ideas that has been floating around the web endlessly. Restating someone else's opinion does not make it your own. Thief.

> The CEO and board supervising the crimes might be long gone and no longer a part of the corporation by the time the law catches up with them and the owners / shareholders are left holding the bag.

Did these people continue to maintain the processes and rules enacted by their predecessors? If so they aren't "left holding the bag", they are the remaining beneficiaries of the system. If you are one of the few who have the power to stop something but you don't because you benefit from the status quo, you aren't a victim. You are the perpetrator.

Well put, and I agree. My belief is that if a typical person was drugged or otherwise induced to just blurt out their unfiltered thoughts out loud as it crossed their brain, the level of incohesion and false confidence on display would look a lot like an LLM hallucinating.

I assume the "top" percentiles for most fields will have reported above average earnings. It would have been a more interesting article if they also looked at the pay for top 100 doctors, athletes, or other salaries positions as a point of comparison.

Users in Spain seem to have accepted that they didn't mind if they had one less streaming service to choose from. They are voting with their wallets.

I have the same issue with the clothing brand Free People.

Is the implication that allowing custom css styling means more hidden ads?

The article clearly shows more than 2 salads being measured. There are charts and graphs peppered throughout the article.

Sure. Does that fact mean we're prohibited from expressing concerns about data quality? ShareGPT isn't representative of authentic, quality writing.

I agree. It's a natural condition of the human world and not directly attributable to any one specific cause. Life goes on.

Language models exist not in the physical world but digital. A more apt comparison would be if LLMs can compile new (or slightly modified) LLMs, and I believe the answer will soon be (if not already), a resounding yes.

Because there's an audience for it?

Agreed. I was expecting the AI to uncover and offer more nuanced suggestions. The examples on the site were highly local issues, with most of them being one-liners our linters are already catching. I was excited to see what the AI can do when it has the context of the entire repo, but I was not wowed.

I'm unsure what is meant by "task and rest periods". I feel that understanding the nuance behind that phrase is crucial to understanding the abstract.

That's as dense as claiming we should punish the Cambridge Analytica incident by reverting the entire humanity's computing technology by a century. There are numerous perspectives in which you and I are the evil wizards simply because we're in this move-fast-and-break-things industry. Don't burn the field just to punish a few.

Appreciate the context. There's so much jargons and different branches of departments that it's hard for a layperson to understand the significance of assessments such as these. I would have been in agreement with OP's reasoning had I not come across this.

Both the police and the DFC dropped their charges. What information could there be that we still need to hear from the other side?

We've been reading articles edited by grammarly for many years on various websites all without realizing that we're consuming "AI-edited" content. I doubt AI-generated content will feel much different.

My creative process as a character illustrator is different than the creative process for a watercolor painter or a graphic designer. If I forced you to answer with a yes/no, would you confidently agree that their processes are different enough to be considered "apples and oranges"? I'm not sure what such statements establish, if anything at all.

And if I told you that, as someone who has done art for decades, that the human creative process is very similar to how an AI is trained on existing images, would you believe me and move on?

> Because if that's the case, I'm afraid you have a very odd idea of how these AIs function.

The design of neutral nets, by definition, were derived from the workings of the human brain.

I was an academically trained professional artist who is now an engineer. I "stole" work all the time as an artist by absorbing and fusing the specific elements that I found to be neat in all my heroes and idols. I was considered to be very creative and talented by everyone around me. This wasn't some shameful secret I held. This is exactly what artists are meant to do when they're encouraged to "study art history".

This isn't some hypothetical. I went through the art portfolio scene and survived 4 years of critiques - I know about the sacred process called the "creative process". None of my and my peers' work would exist without the inspiration of the centuries of art work that stood before us. This is what we call art in the industry and by the public masses. The criteria you established for "why AI art isn't art" applies directly to the "conventional art". So I have to ask, why is AI art different?

An intriguing headline with very little actual substance. Nothing is a direct replacement for anything if we're pedantic enough.

Disclaimer: I stopped reading at the paywall.

I think you might be conflating "free users" of their search engine product and a customer who paid a thousand USD to purchase their mobile hardware. I can see the reasoning for refusing to provide human-based CS for their search engine users, but to give their Pixel users the typical run around and then capping it with disabling their account? I would expect this kind of behavior from the various shell companies selling gadgets on Amazon. Google is really eating their way through the goodwill they took decades to build up.

We aren't misinterpreting your analogy. We're saying it's a terrible analogy.

I'll dumb it down. We're saying that you can be be a free speech absolutist and still not allow others to put GPS on your car for the purpose of tracking you. We're saying that you can't be a free speech absolutist while using your power to censor public information because it reflects negatively on you.

> You gave money to a school to pay for lunches? You were just trying to get your name in a newspaper because of your ego.

So what? What is wrong with that? We can't even understand our own motives, let alone attempt to decipher others'. Why not let the action speak for itself? If you're a selfish person prioritizing your own PR above others' needs, your actions will ultimately reflect it, and we can judge them on it. Otherwise, kudos for finding and pursuing something that aligns nicely with your own needs as well as the needs of others.

My guess is that the actual numbers are much lower, like orders of magnitude lower. The U.S. may be dominated by Apple devices, but the rest of the world runs on Windows and Android. 80% of the world population isn't being scammed out of their savings nor are their phones infested with keyloggers and other malware.

The 12k words can be written for many reasons. Publishing something as a final act of closure following a years-long emotional journey is certainly something I could understand and respect.

You claim that the author is being passive aggressive, but this is where I disagree the most. The author made no excuses or attempts to hide the mistakes he made. He also fully owns up to how he long he was obsessed with the monetary success of Minecraft, and how his jealousy had impacted him. You didn't have to infer or deduce these facts from the author - he laid them out clearly in the open and talked about how his anger has been misdirected the entire time.

I agree that your "abbreviated post" is a good concise summary of author's article, yet I object strongly that the details and stories he provided harmed the delivery; it very much amplified it. I think many people think of closure as some Buddhist monk shit where you transcend all human emotions. No, closures are about mustering enough security to air out your dirty laundry and accepting that it's going to look stupid / insane to most people.
