Transmitting Everything You Say

@dereisenhofer Thank you! But I have no merit for that analogy: the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_parrot paper from Emily M. Bender & co was really the starting point. I met the concept after brainstorming with Framasoft for a mechanical Parrot mascot illustration on one of their campaign https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/viewer/framasoft__2024-11-19_03_Framamia-et-Lokas_by-David-Revoy.html . Later, I felt the idea of a cyber AI Parrot character would be a powerful concept and character, like in books of some of my favorite authors ( A. Douglas , T. Pratchett ). And here we are ️ .

@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.

@davidrevoy She needs to conjure up a magic firewall. preferably made of hellfire

@solitha

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.

@RandomDamage @Sobex @lazy

@LonM Oh! Firewall. 🧡 I'll note it somewhere. Thanks!

"IgnisMurus !"

@davidrevoy @elzen now I imagine the Avian Intelligence as a drunken bird, as it is fed with the "distilled" liquid extracted from the AGI.

@davidrevoy dang she's cute

@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.

@RandomDamage @Sobex @lazy

@davidrevoy Oh... Wait a minute... The &&##!!!! Amphora!

@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.

@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!

@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

**Canon Updated !**

@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.)

@davidrevoy You're comics are lovely, thank you!
