Oh wow, that's so cool. Definitely worth the $2 trillion spent on AI so far.
Also the knock off effects like computer parts quadrupling in price, the ecological damage, fucking over local power grids, and speed running propaganda.
I've seen billboards saying "many new datacenters are designed to reuse water" like... OK? that's ONE aspect of it. you're still installing natural gas turbines and diesel generators and taking enormous amounts of electricity...
Not to mention 'many' is vague and probably doesn't apply to the one who paid for the billboard or it would say which one. It is like having a sign that says 'many chefs wash their hands'.
Cool, but the one roght here is the most important one to me at this moment.
People never seem to understand that sometimes, the greenest thing you can do is NOTHING. Whodathunkit?
Don't forget further entrenchment of state and corporate power over our lives!
This is less meaningful than filling bookshelves in Skyrim.
fill the shelves based on what it knows about you
The results on her shelves:
-
Do you struggle to be creative?
-
How to steal art
-
EXTREMELY ONLINE
Superintelligence, please put books on this shelf that suit me! (gets a picture filled with "Accepting that you're a stupid loser fuckface", volumes I-XV)
In defense of steal like an artist, its more of a self help book about learning to like the process of making things, not literally about how to steal art.
Hilariously its also very anti AI
You can tell she outsources all of her brain activity to ChatGPT just from her not questioning the placement of books.
"Now please read the books and tell me what I would have experienced reading them"
What kind of person puts a recipe book on a bookshelf in the first place. Or a coffee table book? Can you imagine asking a friend for book recommendations and they suggest a cookbook? What about an interior design look book?
I'm not saying a friend should never suggest these kinds of books, but if I asked a friend to "fill my bookshelf" and they suggested those I would be confused. Also, steal like an artist being present is the ultimate irony.
Also, most books are not presented on bookshelves like that. Spine out, usually.
And like, why have to take a picture of an empty bookshelf? Just have your slop machine generate the shelf too
Or literally just ask for a bulleted list...
(You know, assuming one isn't already capable of finding books to read for oneself, looking at human-generated recommended reading lists, or asking real people for recommendations)
"we swear we didn't train on copyrighted works but for pure coincidence we can generate an exact copy of the cover of such copyrighted work"
Don't we already have perfectly good recommendation algorithms? Not to mention the more social alternative of asking for recommendations...
Absolutely devastating to have "Extremely Online" on the list.
These are just marketable books, which makes sense for statistical model blob.
Wow! I guess AI was worth all that water!
...seriously, what's the point of making it an image aside from posting a (probably unpaid!) ad on Twitter?
Best new relationship I've formed this year is with my local bookstores owner. She knows what I've been reading and we talk about what I'm looking for. My favorite books I've read recently have come from her. Humans > machines
No book reader would store their books like that you fucking moron. They'd have as many as they could fit crammed in there. Maybe if you actually read more you wouldn't need AI to do your thinking for you.
That's so you can tell at a glance what an interesting and quirky person they are!
Is there a Venn diagram for people who are into Ai like this and people who go to strip clubs and think the stripper is "into" them?
Generating a list of books isn't hard or impressive. Taking the known cover art for those books and displaying it in a layout doesn't require fancy ai either.
Also not sure why you'd want this beyond just the list
I read this a bit differently. How much does the AI agent actually know about me? It probably has internal directives to not disclose exactly how much information it - or the parent company- has profiled, but prompts like this might be a workaround to learning how much they've really got on me.
A publishing executive just creamed his pants and just fired his whole marketing and sales staff to buy promotions from chatgpt. OpenAI executives cream their pants now it's confirmed they control what people buy and read from now on.
OK, but literally why would you do that? Genuinely baffled. Like, is this someone that doesn't read trying to convince others (or themselves?) that they're avid readers or something?
Yeah, nobody who does this is actually going to read the books. This way they can Post It On Their Socials and say: "See? These are the books I really oughta read."
"Ai bro gets recomended the book "steal like an artist" by the ai itself"
Such an amazing self own
Yup, it's like people are just ignoring that you don't need GenAI or social media.
You can do all of these things in analog. Those of us who existed before the Internet know that very well.
Why though? I genuinely don't know what the use case is here. If you have a bookshelf it already has your books on it, you could take a photo of that. If you wanted a list of book recommendations, a text list would be more useful.
@destructdisc No human would put their Books on the shelf this way. But a clanker wouldn't know.
Justine's bookshelf is a boring person's bookshelf. AI makes you boring.
