Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Coca-Cola’s new AI holiday ad is a sloppy eyesore (www.theverge.com)

They boast having hired 5 slop specialists that chose the least worse shots over 70000 prompts

They have something like $50 billion yearly revenue, can't pay real people for an ad? Literally peanuts for them.

There are a couple more assumption that may result in costs worse than reality:

  • It is assuming each frame is independently generated. In reality, the AI model may use keyframes and interpolation which would reduce computation costs.
  • It is assuming the 70,000 prompts were all fully generated. But since AI is deterministic, taking a low resolution, low framerate sample of each prompt to discard the 99% of trash would be an easy way to save a lot of resources

Though I am neither an AI expert nor in charge of creating AI videos so both of these suggestions may not reflect reality.

Degenerative AI is the precise opposite of deterministic. It's stochastic.

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, it's deterministic. If you control the source of random numbers (such as with a seed), you will always get the same result from the same prompt.

Computers are mathematically incapable of randomness. Even a stochastic sampling requires randomness which will be deterministic if your source of random numbers is controlled.

So let me translate this from technobabble to English.

If you explicitly make it non-random it's non-random.

Duh.
