What Artificial Intelligence thinks Talkbassers look like

[mexicanyella]

Prompt—Mexicanyella: bassist

Some kind of romance novel cover image?

some kind of sentient landscape feature terminating in a arm-and-instrument equipped scaly tentacle

Accumulations of Falling sky turds built up the forbidding spire-studded landscape that ringed the valley

I mean...they aren't totally wrong.

Do these AI things drop acid or something?
And why do we think this stuff is the future?

It's called AI but it's not AI. It's literally just collaging discrete little bits of different images. Every one of those images from a picture of a stringed instrument held at a slightly different angle. The system "knows" the lines from each of those little bits of images have to be connected, but it has no sense of "why" they are, it's only observing the statistical likelihood of that continuity.

ChatGPT works the same way. It doesn't know anything. It is simply stringing together discrete chunks of text according to its record of statements related to the statements you feed it. There is no sense of "truth", which is why you can ask it to do things like Link Removed.

Chat GPT is an idiot.

Recreational weed is legal in Maryland as of today, July 1st. I'm guessing their server farm is located somewhere in Maryland.

Rather than do something productive with my morning, I went to an AI image generating website (nightcafe) and input a bunch of talkbass related prompts to see what it would come up with. It did not disappoint

Prompt “Typical talkbass user”

You had me literally in tears of laughter by the second image in the first panel.


I love how literally it takes the prompt :

Or maybe it's suggesting you suck at bass...

This is terrifying

Dr. Teeth got old, and became Dr. Toothless.

It happens to us all.

Not really... I just AI input 'agonizing big toe, busting through a wool sock' and the same pic popped up.

Sometimes, you gotta toe the line thread.

 

[Wood and Wire]

Now we know.

I feel like this fits right in here.

The album cover of "Hairway To Steven" pretty much set the template for for these AI abominations, 30 years previously.

Looks like every single AI generated 'art' or image I've ever seen. Hideous, uncanny valley, can't do fingers or hands, basses like shiny buttocks. Everything about it mechanical and ugly. And no wonder, they trained it by scraping and stealing text and images from the internet and paying zero artists or writers for it. Copy/paste theft processed through all the foulness of the internet.

I preferred Donavan's version but this is transcendent beauty compared with AI.

You should go through and input TB usernames. That would be terrifying lol

That's actually what I was expecting this thread to be about.

C'mon @RustfeatherBass , I can already imagine what result your username would have generated; and with that in mind, I think it's best that you avoid using @Williethump as a prompt, unless you want to get yourself banned, and the thread locked.

I just typed “five member band” into an AI and got this. I’m currently not in a band, so if anyone wants to use this as a promo pic, feel free.

I couldn't find the horse.

AI obviously determines that musicians do all the drugs at once.

What’s that? Your band is a six piece? No problem:

I actually think this is what certain club owners actually see.

When I showed this thread to my wife, she said "Why are none of you attractive?"
