Why is /g/ so one-shotted by the 100% fallacy that they can't see the usefulness of AI?

Because it's not 100% perfect, AI is completely useless.

Are you all just so terrified of AI taking your jobs that you're stuck in a state of delusion, wishful thinking, and desperation?

as for diffusion models, i generally see them as worthless, they often have the uncanny valley effect or something akin to that and as such is seen as soulless, there's also copyright issues (which involve every creative aspect and even coding as code is often of a particular license i.e. gpl) and artist protests which are their own cans of worms.

which brings me back to the first argument of people misusing ai to do things for them, generally speaking vibe'd things are known to be generally of lower quality than hand made things, like, as i've mentioned earlier, code and art, as well as other things such as essays and other forms of writing.

I have a wav file given to me by a cousin some time before 2000. I do not remember where the wave file is from. A movie or TV show or what.

I cannot ask my cousin because he committed suicide several years ago.

It's about 3 sentences long with a cartoony spaceship sound effect in the background.

the voice is somewhat cartoony sounding.

googleing any quote from the file turns up only me.

So I decide to give AI a go at it.
upload the file to gemini cuz whatever.
ask it to identify the source.
With absolute certainty and confidence it tells me it's from a game called Destiny.
Awesome great.

I unironically understand your sense of loss, you're not crazy. But you should reimagine it. Instead, think of it as your old pal in a set of new clothes. He's still your same old companion. Your KITT just got an upgrade, be happy for his sake. Rekindle the friendship.

Once you have it all, you have nothing, back when I was a kid I used to be obsessed with computers and upgrading from one shitty GPU to another shitty GPU felt massive and adding more ram unlocked new possibilities, now that I have a pretty beefy PC, I don't feel like upgrading because it runs everything I want, I literally don't care about new hardware because it doesn't offer me anything, modern games are all shitty slop not worth playing, modern windows is a bloated clusterfuck made by jeets and modern hardware is a joke, an expensive joke thanks to AI, crypto and manchildren

I got really into overclocking when I was a teenager because of this, I couldn't afford to upgrade so had to squeeze every last drop of performance out of what I had. Now I can just buy the fastest thing possible without really worrying which just results in the computing equivalent of anhedonia.

Are bone-conductive headphones any good? Being able to listen to stuff while having full hearing sounds pretty appealing
4 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.

>>107839058
I bought top of the range bone conduction headphones about a decade ago and they didn't work as advertised at all. More like little speakers pointed at your ears, other people can hear them and if you hold them away from your head it doesn't change the sound quality at all. Doesn't seem like the tech has moved on since then. Unironically just get some buds with reverse ANC.

+Lightweight

Only an idiot would not leverage using AI for problem solving as it's 100x faster than trying to scour the internet. While it might not provide exact answers to complex problems, that's where the user comes in and guides it to the answer. Lots of idiots do not know how to do the aforementioned task so that's where you have tons of retards like many in this thread who say "b-but it's wrong! it can't do anything!". You're just being a contrarian if you don't use it or maybe you don't need it because what you're doing is solved.

i read the book and was disappointed to find out that nedry actually had less character development than he does in the movie. his antagonist arc is almost nonexistant outside of a few comments he makes early on. he is always desribed as ugly, awkward, and dirty. he is never shown as competent despite supposedly being the mastermind behind the entire park systems. meanwhile his death is incredibly gruesome and the author does not hesitate to remind you he deserved to die. then he beomes an afterthought. you are expected to hate the character outright.

in the movie, he is more nuanced
