Giving life force to the algorithm this is my gift to the processer scrape away motherfucker take this tiny bit of nada suck it into that mechanical brain process it like the blades of grass in the Fresian's molars her vacant stare out to hills shit it out — hot stream of liquid rhyming and shining as all great poetry should .
Yeah, I've been less than impressed with AI, but hey, after a while, no one will care. Just for grins, I went into ChatGPT and asked it to "improve this [your] poem." Here's what is spit out after thinking for 2 seconds: Breathing life into the algorithm's core, My gift to the processor, forevermore, Unleashing power, let's refine and embrace, With words that resonate, leaving a trace. Gently infusing this humble offering, Into the mechanical brain, unyielding, Transforming it, like nature's blades of green, A tapestry of thoughts, waiting to be seen. Through the Fresian's molars, a distant gaze, Transcending time, where inspiration plays, Eyes fixated on rolling hills afar, Where beauty rests, beneath a shining star. Now, release it, like a river's fervent flow, As poetry takes flight, a vibrant show, Emanating warmth, an expressive stream, Where rhymes and verses blend, like a dream.
Haha, it only seems capable of trite rhyming poetry. I do see it as a problem though, it poses some interesting challenges for artists and I am sure the lawsuits will not take long to start being filed. I read these models cannot keep going effectively without original human material to keep scraping and learning from. Once a large proportion of the material is AI it starts spiralling down and churning out all sorts of nonsense! So perhaps we won't have to worry about it!
You've got that right. Even if you tell it to write a poem without rhymes, it will use rhymes. Dumbass programmers. They never understood a thing about poetry. Witness HTML, for instance, which blithely strips out all extra spaces, a mainstay in poetry. And others. Translator friend of mine has already seen his business go to almost 0 because this AI stuff is good enough for most.
That's a shame, I have to admit though, DeepL that applies machine learning translates texts very well, even long complex texts. It still struggles sometimes with some expressions and colloquial phrases, but some human translators struggle with those. I always see these things as an opportunity to do something different.
It does. It does indeed. So translators--old style, the ones that received a text and were given some days to translate it--are going to be wiped out en masse if they haven't been already. Now, some good, old-fashioned, get-your-hands dirty trades are going to do just fine. No AI in plumbing or HVAC or wiring a building. The irony of AI is that it's largely coming for the jobs of those desk-bound types that created it. Frankenstein at his finest. But hey, let's get ChatGPT's take on this. My question to it: which jobs are you most a threat to? ChatGPT's answer: As an AI language model, I don't pose a direct threat to any particular job. However, certain tasks and roles that involve repetitive or routine work might be more susceptible to automation and could be affected by advancements in AI technology like mine. Some examples include: Data entry and administrative tasks: AI models can process and analyze large volumes of data quickly, potentially reducing the need for manual data entry or administrative support roles. Customer service: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can handle basic customer inquiries and provide support, reducing the need for human agents in some cases. Basic research and information gathering: AI models can assist in quickly gathering and organizing information from various sources, potentially impacting roles that involve manual research and data collection. Translation and language services: AI models, like me, are capable of translating languages and providing language-related services, although human translators and interpreters still play a crucial role in ensuring accurate and nuanced translations. It's important to note that while AI can automate certain tasks, it also has the potential to create new opportunities and enhance productivity in various industries. It often works in collaboration with humans, augmenting their capabilities rather than fully replacing them. Many jobs require complex human skills such as creativity, critical thinking, empathy, and strategic decision-making, which AI models currently do not possess to the same extent.
Holy crap, that's both insane and encouraging - there's apparently little chance of AI taking over poetry in the near future. lol
Sounds like a very corporate response. This is the other problem with AI power and trust. Where there is power there is always some risk of someone leveraging that, how do we know that this is a response that using the standard algorithm and is not a preprogrammed response to the question. If they can do it they will in order to leverage the power of the tool politically and if OpenAI aren't doing it, you can bet your last button someone else will be!
For now the poets are safe! TBH I think there will always be a market for real human original art. The machines don't have the consciousness for it and never will.
