Master AI (Artificial Intelligence) Discussion/News Thread

AI can't invent and truly create. Its entire intelligence is based on accepted status quo (where it has been trained) and it can't grow beyond that. Ask it semi-advanced research questions and it'll babble like a casual observer that knows little.
This seems optimistic, but indeed it's perhaps the crux of the "boon or bane" debate vis-a-vis AI.
I hope your assessment is correct. I fear it's not.
 
I’d rather a javelin struck the bubble
... or perhaps even a Javelin.

My apologies. I couldn't resist.
 
The music itself.

For example: I'd like to listen to a male vocalist with a whiny nasal voice rapping over a rock band with a DJ in it. That kind of music isn't mainstream anymore, it doesn't sell today, so it is rarely created if at all.

Haha, now I really can’t tell if that’s prompt or piss-take. Or as they say, why not both?

Thinking about it for a moment, quite likely that’s on a DJ Shadow album somewhere. But so I can get a real idea, can you offer an (organic) example?

YouTube recently added automated tagging of generative material, and revised requirements for content uploaders.
Ah, that was the logo I saw on the video I posted. So it must be active. A very good thing!
 
Nicely done and correctly tagged as AI:


That was well done.

And it aligns with my belief that the 1980s were the worst decade for women’s fashion of the modern era. The fashions ruined the looks of more attractive people than any decade I can think of. (Men’s fashion as well…though early 90’s could be awful as well)
 
AI has a long way to go. Anyone who thinks it has an exhaustive data base capable of swiftly spitting out the answer to every question should definitely think again. To wit, I asked Chat GPT the following question:


"I am a trifle confused. When room/studio acoustics technicians refer to front wall rear wall in a room with speaker and a listener, do they mean that the front wall is the wall behind the speakers and in front of the listener, while the rear wall is the wall behind the listener and in front of the speakers, or vice versa?"

That was around two hours ago and it's still working on it. And if it can't answer that question, what makes us think it can replace the skills of someone who sets up home theaters for a living anytime soon?

That's a problem with free version. It just stops and never completes. If you go by paid version, that doesn't happen.

As to your question, it will confuse a human as well so AI will be just as good/bad as us! FYI, per CEA-2034, "rear" means with respect to speaker, i.e. behind the speaker. But I am pretty sure many think it is behind the listener.

The engineering standard defines terms for a purpose. When measuring a loudspeaker alone that terminology is appropriate.

But take speaker setup for multi-channel eg Atmos. We then decide where to place that loudspeaker. Would we consider the rear surrounds are placed at the front wall? Of course not. When we reference the listening room, it’s the rear wall. The chatbot output should describe these cases, if it’s generating the probable answer.

I asked exactly the same question - and it spat an answer out immediately.

Unfortunately Chat GPT seems to be as confused as the average human:
In studio/room acoustics, the usual convention is:

the front wall is the wall behind the speakers/monitors, and the rear wall is the wall behind the listener.

So the sound typically travels from the front wall area, past the listener, toward the rear wall.

There can be occasional wording differences in informal use, but in acoustics and control-room talk that is the standard meaning.
 
AI isn't static. It evolves, and evolves a lot faster than human. From this thread.

Alternatively


If the goal is to wash that car, then driving it the mile to the car wash is usually the practical choice.

A 1-mile drive will add very little dirt compared with what the wash removes, and you'll avoid a 2-mile round-trip walk (plus however long you're at the car wash).

Walking might make sense if:

  • The weather is pleasant and you want the exercise.
  • The car is so dirty or dusty that you're trying to avoid adding any fresh road grime before washing.
  • There are parking or access issues at the car wash.
For most people, though, I'd just drive it there, wash it, and enjoy the clean car on the way home. ✨
 
I found several interesting articles mostly science based on AI but YMMV. The parent website has many science, cultural, economic and current event based content as well. FYI
This is the US version there are others unexplored by me.

In this case, the chatbot generated a correct answer with reference to studio/room acoustics.

So that's the reason why the rear wall (behind the speaker) is called front wall (in front of the listener) in Your language, not?
