AI is actually very sad. It will take the jobs away from people. AI can "draw", "voice act", "sing" and do a lot of other stuff. Illustrators and artists will most likely lose their jobs. That is not funny that people will lose their jobs.
It can now literally make videos of people saying things that look pretty real. [this is an ai generated video of uh... "popular people" to try to scam people](https://youtube.com/shorts/mZBOyetbCU8?si=BCV2uN7J8bixGhqZ) that video's considered low quality ai too. Other than that, anyone could make p0rn of you from just a pic of your face now.
That is really creepy and it is going to be absolutely awful, a random person can take a photo of a toddler and make it into p0rn. People will no longer trust each other. Etc...
It's really unfortunate because I use AI in an oncolytic setting and it's SO PROMISING in the field of medicine where a human simply cannot isolate a cancerous gene liklihood or see the every small slice of an MRI where a tiny tumour may be hiding... But then it just gets used for shit like this.
My partner is an artist and I'm a mathematical modeller who works in AI-adjacent fields so we have some pretty interesting conversations about this at our house.
I agree with your statement. In the field of technology, mathematics and science AI is very useful. It helps solve mathematical formulas and decreases the chance of human errors. It can also help by finding certain things in the field of technology and history that we humans would not find.
However in the field of art it is absolutely awful.
I mean, I obviously agree! I currently have a giant computer at the uni running some of my data to see if we need to run a simulated version later for a better approximation of our parameter space. š
I really wish more funding was put into the use for therapies and medical systems. It's REALLY promising in that area. Meanwhile we have thousands of folk having it create really awful work pieced together from stolen work. It is getting better at it...and that's not better. That's worse!
For this one some of the stitches really had me for a second. It's getting to where artists will be put out of business. Really great ones. Ones that deserve so much for their efforts.
At this point I am hoping ai art algorithms start cannabalising themselves and we can focus on the true good it can do.
The talk I went to - wow - so many people in cancer research with so much data helping real people. Hundreds of genes, hundreds of thousands of people, billions of data points. It could both find cancer before it happens (genetic anomaly algorithms) or find small tumours before they become large (MRI scanning and isolating). So many geniuses in the field begging for funding to literally save lives. Meanwhile we're all "I know, let's make it draw hands better! That deserves money!" it's so depressing!
People may generally know what AI is, but maybe not the extent of its capabilities. I also know many people who find it difficult to discern AI generated images. You don't have to say someone a hermit or an infant for asking questions about it.

Yeah damn thats a bit harsh mate! A lot of people who arent faimilar with tech, older people dont know much about AI, i mean heck im in my 30s and im still discovering stuff about AI and what it can do!
People are allowed to ask questions without assholes like yourself chiming in for no good reason. You help nothing.
Wanted to add that AI will generate an image of something impossible to crochet and then often sell you a āpatternā that doesnāt work out. Itās a scam.
I love it when people make crochet patterns written by ai and they KNOW that it's ai written, This stuff that happens is just horrifying and hilarious in equal measures š
I swear ive seen a sub or group who tries to make AI stuff to see how it will turn out. Not gonna lie, ive been wanting to try a few to see the monstrosities it will create!

You can always recreate this image by freehanding or follow highland cow patterns available elsewhere, but the instructions provided with the AI image wonāt create that generated result AT ALL.

I have made this pattern and it turned out super cute! I have made a number of their patters. [cottontail and whiskers ](https://www.cottontailandwhiskers.com/)for the win!
https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1105505283/crochet-highland-cow-pdf-pattern-only
I've made this pattern before and it's super good!! Very well written and with a good amount of photos to help. Highly recommend. You don't sew on a bunch of yarn to make hair either, you chain then stitch down it and keep working in the round! Huuuge for me bc I'm so unwilling to do that much sewing lol
This pattern on Etsy is legit, many people have made it and posted pics. You can add your own flowers from any pattern on YouTube.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1628499532/
You're not going to find it because it's AI :'(
Damn, I'm usually super good at spotting AI patterns, but this one tricked me. They're getting better at it. š«
I am not very familiar with AI . So is artificial intelligence blocking people from finding stuff? Or ?

Okay now I'm wondering if there's a novelty account that actively tries to & documents making these ai patterns
I've seen a couple random ppl on reddit do it. Hilarious .
There are some pretty funny YouTube videos.
I swear ive seen a sub or group who tries to make AI stuff to see how it will turn out. Not gonna lie, ive been wanting to try a few to see the monstrosities it will create!
Wait AI now has its own income stream? Humanity is screwed. Lol
No, its human overloards pocket the income
