    • AI visual art is here.

    • AI text is here.

    • AI Music? I assume some AI music apps will be available in the coming years. I bet the betas will suck. But the AI's musical abilities might develop very fast and be surprising. I'd love to give it something like "Jimi Hendrix playing Enter Sandman".

    • AI 3d art?

    • AI video?

    • AI porn?

    • AI people? [Edit - I mean... the AI generates a real time stream of 3d model seems just like a person.]

    • AI on-the-fly VR?

    How many decades away are we from AI creating this VR prompt within a minute: "Make me a 30 video. Audio - Jimi Hendrix playing an extended jam of Enter Sandman with some Beethoven orchestration. Video - Pornographic yet tasteful weightless action with a 1980s Heavy Metal magazine vibe on planet of 8 legged floating octopus people."

      AI people

      this is way harder and might well be impossible.

      language models work on statistical analysis of language data they don't understand a word they say and have no capacity to do so.

      This is a gimmic the real interest in machine learning is for processing of large volumes of data

          I mean maybe but asside from scamming lonely men in very cynical, depressing and downright evil schemes to make them think they have AI girlfriends there isn't much use for it

            AI friends or companions. Rig it up to some consumer grade Boston Dynamics bot in 10 years and you got yourself a droid. That could be kinda cool.

                Depends how many real friends you have.

                If the robotics are good enough I think a robotic Valet/Lady's maid would be useful. It's almost impossible to get into a lot of the historic costumes I sew alone and my girlfriend isn't always there to help.

                  yes robots to do housework would be cool. But anthropomorphising them would just be weird and creepy.

                    Eh, I anthromophise inanimate and semi-animate objects all the time. My car has a name, my computer has a name. I curse the godess of the light switch every time a bulb blows. I understand how it could develop pathologically for some people, though.

                    Of course this will be used entirely for evil though. Imagine the boot stamping on your face has an adorable Hello Kitty voice, forever.

                      I meant it would be weird to make the robots that we use for household chores seem like people. If they were people they would be slaves. So it's way less uncomfortable for them to be clearly just machines that perform household tasks which is what they are anyway

                        Oh yeah. I'm pretty sure robotics is 30 years off a human analogue at least. I was meaning more semi-human personalities like Alexa/Siri. "Robot Jeeves" personalities that are enough to form some attachment to but clearly characters and not uncanny valley human.

        yeah i keep thinking this is all just gimmicks to train them for massive, unceasing surveillance over an increasingly restive population. like actually digging through the data that's been collected and generating kill lists, etc.

          Even with this data there's so much shitposting and such high volumes I'm pretty sure any set used for this would be bayesian poisoned immediately.

      How many decades away

      I say less than five years for it to be possible for it to generate that at all, over five years for consumer hardware to do it in under a minute, with the caveat that it'd be rubbish. You could probably synthesize parts of that tech right now with clever enough fake solutions (like the VR video doesn't need to be prerendered, so it just needs to generate props and generic animations to render on the fly with traditional rasterization or something; you could probably make a set of generic parts to procedurally generate from and train a machine learning model to put them together to match a description, and use some GPT-3 sort of thing to write a script to pull descriptions from), although again it would be absolute garbage.

      I feel like to make that sort of generation of whole works from simple prompts work it'd need to have additional layers of filtering and curation to pick out and remove common problems with AI generation.

      In fact, I can envision a toolkit for just that, where it just organizes every layer of outputs to dissect the generated work and allows the user to edit, regenerate, w/e individual components, pick from multiple variations, etc. Then you just need a thorough logging and data harvesting system in that editor and you can use it to train a filtering AI to enable fully automated generation by just letting an AI operate AI tools designed for humans.

      Can you imagine it? Endless, apocalyptic tides of low-grade slop the likes of which not even rubbish slop factories like RPGMaker and Poser have managed in the past, created by AIs, curated by AIs, and consumed by literally no one because it's the worst thing ever.

        Yes. Sigh.

        AI is going to be a treat machine to provide distractions. It will be used by companies to make the world worse faster but make the companies even more money. And it will be used by companies, militaries, and governments as an oppression machine.

      funny how we can only automate the activities that make life worth living, and struggle to apply the tools to the boring awful shit that no human should have to do
