    Hold on a second. If what you’re saying is true, which you have no way of proving to me that it is, I’ll take it at face value nevertheless. But if that’s the case, then you clearly do have some understanding of how these technologies work.

    You’re telling me you’re upset that an LLM, which has been trained on pre-existing data, can’t produce something completely novel without referencing some kind of source?

    That’s simply how the technology functions. What a lot of people actually do is come up with their own original ideas and put them on paper or into a digital drawing program. Then they take that original picture or concept and put it into AI tools, where the AI can manipulate, refine, or transform that original work and save them significant amounts of time on tasks that artists traditionally had to do manually.

    So your gripe with AI is essentially describing a limitation of the technology. That’s not really an argument against its use. It’s a limitation that can be worked around depending on how you use the technology.

      I’m not upset.

      As said I have use it. Both for image generation and llm for text generation. But knowing what they can and cannot do.

      I mostly use it for roleplay. And generating images of places and characters on the go is fun and easy. But it’s not a tool that allow for a very high degree of creativity. Neither have the ability to put the “image” that someone has in their head onto canvas.

        So, you are correct. There is no way for an LLM or AI application to generate the exact image inside your head. And nobody has ever seriously claimed that it can. I mean, maybe Sam Altman has said some stupid shit like that, because he is known for doing so, but realistically, nobody is arguing that this is currently possible.

        There are some phenomenal AI works out there. I’ve recommended some channels that I really like, and I even do the role-playing thing from time to time to pass the time at work and whatnot.

        But ultimately, yes, that is a limitation of the technology. I think we’re arguing against two completely separate things here.
