Ask Lemmy

Why would I want to listen to shit made by something that's incapable of putting thought or care into what it creates when I can listen to something made by an actual person? I don't want to live in Boring World.

Moguri Mod is a great example of AI done right. A fan modder ran Final Fantasy IX's original assets through stable diffusion models to upscale the graphics and corrected imperfections by hand to create a great HD graphics mod with decent quality 30FPS FMVs (the official ones are low quality and capped at 15FPS.)

For context, Square-Enix's Final Fantasy IX port was quarter-arsed (only really adding battle skips and a fast-forward function), and as they didn't even have the original assets to do a graphical remaster, Moguri Mod is the best well likely get until/unless Square-Enix decide to remake FFIX from the ground up.

AI remastering done wrong would be a recent online rerelease of the Super Mario Bros Super Show, and an update done to Killer 7's Steam version a few months ago. Both were remastered with AI but zero effort was made to correct any inaccuracies or hallucinations.

Where I think AI could be really useful is in animation: specifically in speeding up the process of inbetweening. If you fed a decent model key frames and prompts to have it produce tween frames, you could heavily speed up the process.

I still don't like it. I enjoy the occassional AI meme sometimes, they're harmless on their own I guess

Music, most of all, is a hard no. Music is a creative process. Simply wont entertain it being AI

AI porn just still looks fake. And with endless real porn out there there is zero incentive for me to view the AI stuff and its a waste of resources to produce

AI music and gooning to AI porn? You couldnt torture that information out me. Have some standards bro

This post is going over about as well as a lead balloon, but I'll answer.

I don't like AI content generally, but I think it can do well when you lean into the uncanny inhumanity of it. Sora was good at replicating the bizarre non sequitur experience of dreams.

Still hate it. As an American student in South Korea, I see people obsessed with it every day. It’s honestly a bit dystopian.

Humanity is doomed bro

That's just rage bait, probably a bot account too

I'm against AI slop, but I can see it being used effectively as a creative tool to take the grunt work out of creative works.

For example, one of my aunts is a published author and she has taken to using AI as an editorial assistant.

In her words:

"Speaking of AIs, I'm using ChatGPT as a story editor, assisting me with matters such as voice, tone, structure, plotting, cadence, pacing, character development, etc. It's like working with an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable human story editor. Better, because it's free; a human equivalent would cost a lot, perhaps thousands."

To be clear, she still does all the writing, ChatGPT is merely offering editorial advice. I could see providing it a text and asking it to show every case where tense is mismatched, or any shifts from 1st person to 3rd person, that kind of thing.

At that point is it really any worse than an advanced spell or grammar checker?

It has never been so over.

I reckon the next generation that grows up with this will see it as normal. Do our opinions really matter?

Maybe they had a stroke?

the new wave of kids growing up with with developing neurological damage and/or erectile dysfuntion due to porn addiction is gonna be interesting to deal with.
