A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Current generation generative AI is mapping patterns in images to tokens in text description, creating a model that reproduces those patterns given different combinations of input tokens. I don't know the finer details of how the actual models are structured... But it doesn't really matter, because if human brains can create something, there's nothing stopping a sufficiently advanced computer and program from recreating the same process.
We're not there, not by a long shot, but if we continue developing more computational power, it seems inevitable that we will reach that point one day.
