If you sub in "translation" for "art," this sounds like your average @bhamv3 vs. Google Translate post.
andThe purpose of meaning is a profound question that has been pondered by philosophers, psychologists, and thinkers for centuries. While there may not be a single definitive answer, many perspectives converge on the idea that meaning provides direction, fulfillment, and significance to our lives.
1. **Guidance**: Meaning can serve as a compass, guiding our actions and decisions. When we have a sense of purpose or meaning, we are more likely to make choices that align with our values and goals.
2. **Fulfillment**: Meaning gives us a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. It provides a deeper sense of connection to our actions, relationships, and experiences, enhancing our overall well-being.
3. **Resilience**: Having a sense of meaning can help us cope with challenges and adversity. When we understand the significance of our experiences, we may be better equipped to find meaning even in difficult circumstances, which can foster resilience and perseverance.
4. **Connection**: Meaning often involves a sense of connection—to others, to the world around us, and to something greater than ourselves. This connection can cultivate empathy, compassion, and a sense of belonging.
5. **Legacy**: Many people seek meaning as a way to leave a lasting impact or legacy. Whether through personal accomplishments, contributions to society, or the relationships we nurture, we hope to create something meaningful that will endure beyond our own lives.
Ultimately, the pursuit of meaning is deeply personal and varies from individual to individual. It encompasses questions of identity, purpose, morality, and existence, and it often evolves over time as we grow, learn, and experience life.
Clearly it hasn't watched enough Cartoon Network.It seems like you're referencing an equation humorously. While "2 + 2 = Mount Rushmore" may not be a mathematically accurate statement, it's reminiscent of the way we sometimes play with language and ideas for amusement or to make a point. Mount Rushmore is a well-known landmark featuring the faces of four prominent U.S. presidents carved into the side of a mountain, so the equation serves as a playful juxtaposition.
The weird thing is that it works for 'VAC', 'VDC', 'volts', and even 'v' -- just not 'V'. I'm reasonably sure that this is a new problem.I wonder if WA haughtily assumes you should specify VDC or VAC rather than just V.

Don't it always seem to go
To be fair, AI hasn't put up any parking lots yet...Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?

This shit is funny for all of you (and I can't blame you for that). But It's a fucking nightmare as a teacher. One of my colleagues called out a student in his AP Research class (a college-level course on research skills!) for using AI. The student's reply was to try to shame the teacher for being old-fashioned and claiming that AI was always trustworthy.I've been trying to spread word to my friends and family that they should not use AI as a search engine, because it will lie to you.
I guess Google needs to be told this.

No, it's not funny. I find it infuriating and terrifying (no hyperbole there, I'm not scared of it being Skynet, I'm scared of it poisoning information sources, among other things). I realize that you have to deal with it a lot more on a day-to-day basis than I do, but I definitely don't find this amusing.This shit is funny for all of you.
Yep.I've been trying to spread word to my friends and family that they should not use AI as a search engine, because it will lie to you.

Exactly this. Can someone achieve good results generating ai images and then altering them by hand to achieve the desired results? Sure. But those alterations require knowledge and skill. And by that point of you have the ability to do those, your are no longer an "ai artist," you're just an artistI think it was SMBC but it might have been xkcd or another webcomic that summed it up....
"aren't you afraid of your job as coder? Soon you'll be replaced by AI ! You just need to give the machine clear instructions and it'll do exactly what we want!"
"sure, we in the business have a word to describe giving a machine clear instructions so they'll do what you want - it's called code".
Yeah I guess that's true. I have a background in photoshop so I probably take that for granted. I do know a lot of "AI prompt bro's" though that don't know anything about how their AI actually generates outputs and certainly don't use the current programs to their fullest (ie learning is hard!).Exactly this. Can someone achieve good results generating ai images and then altering them by hand to achieve the desired results? Sure. But those alterations require knowledge and skill.

This actually shows a bigger problem that's not limited to just AI. There's so much pure trash info on the internet, it's hard for humans let alone AI's to filter the rubbish from the good (and you know there are people that would probably try this recipe out).Follow-up with new info:

Andrew Jackson, the 7th US president, died in 1845. Unless he's a time traveler, it'd be tricky for him to graduate in 2005.See, I'm sure #11 is hilariously wrong and everything, but I can't say what the problem is. I guess some/all of those didn't attend Berkeley?
Nick, you're talking about image 10, UW-Madison graduates. Image 11 is a different list.Andrew Jackson, the 7th US president, died in 1845. Unless he's a time traveler, it'd be tricky for him to graduate in 2005.
Andrew Johnson, the 17th US president, died in 1875. So he's either a vampire or a Time Lord to graduate that many times.
That should give you a good idea for how wrong the rest is. The only one that might be correct is Gerald Ford.
Whoops, my bad. I'm actually not sure what's wrong with image 11, either. I took the images from this thread.Nick, you're talking about image 10, UW-Madison graduates. Image 11 is a different list.
Best I can tell, the problem is that Elon Musk didn't graduate from UC Berkeley.See, I'm sure #11 is hilariously wrong and everything, but I can't say what the problem is. I guess some/all of those didn't attend Berkeley?
