Transmitting Everything You Say

Note: I tried out of curiosity and research via a local install of https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.jeffser.Alpaca and it was really bad: 'open source' AI LLMs model I tried can't make a punchline, or an ending twist. Every story they output can't surprise the audience: they are statistically tropes, story slop, and the ending is always super cringe. But this test was super educational about CPU usage: super slow despite having a powerful computer. Uninstalled.
@davidrevoy "statistically" is probably the operative word there, since that's more or less what they are... statistical word generators.
They'll never twist or surprise because they're going for the most likely output from the millions of artists they've been fed (and increasingly, re-ingesting slop).
(Edit: I probably didn't need to say all that, did I? Derp.)
Gotta say the Avian Intelligence mini has been spot-on and a delight.

@davidrevoy
Is Pepper getting..... Spicy?
I'm quite worried though... Who's been listening and how will they torment Pepper with the knowledge they've stolen?

@davidrevoy Great Comic as usual. A great way to get people thinking about what AI does as well.

@davidrevoy @voxel
I am kinda wondering if she will keep the "dumbed down" parrot after whatever the ending to the avian intelligence story arc will be.@tiredbun @voxel I hope I'll can draw enough episodes in this mini series to explore many issues (addiction/psychosis/and more) on user side and be able to land a conclusion aligned with something that was really well expressed on this toot: https://lgbtqia.space/@alice/115845072659379702 , something nuanced.
I hope by the end, the Gothic Sorceress will have a responsible usage of it, and maybe her own 'local' one. Maybe even themed like a crow. I'll see, so many things to draw to reach this point! I'm working on it. -

@VANTABlack2000 Thank you!

@RandomDamage @Sobex In my vision, I wanted to make her more like a resident or researcher at the University of Magic, a role where she could study, teach, access the library, speak directly to the headmaster, and get invited to the New Year party, etc... But it's hard to build a more complete lore with just 4 panels at a time.
@davidrevoy @Sobex @solitha @lazy of course! I'm sure if you follow this thread long enough everything will come out.
It's been really fun so far

@davidrevoy @solitha @lazy She's a student, though, given how she was introduced. Isn't 300 year old a bit old for a witch student ?
@Sobex @lazy @solitha @davidrevoy Maybe she’s a postdoctoral fellow – desperately going from one postdoc position to another because there’s almost no permanent positions anymore.
(Any similarity with the current academic landscape would be of course purely coincidental.)
