An AI generated contest.. thats the most low effort contest ever. Glad this person did what they did and used real skill.

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.

Like a book recommendation contest
even a book recommendation contest could only be this dumb if the only way to participate was to shout out random words and hope it would coincide with a good book title
What a stupid fucking idea for a contest. "Press a button until something interesting pops out. Best button pusher wins." Glad it got subverted like that.

It’s the opposite of the OP’s headline.
Aimbot works because being good at games is essentially bending your skills to match a simulation, aimbot can have the simulation parameters written into it.
LLMs are blenders for human-made content with zero understanding of why some art resonates and other art doesn’t. A human with decent skill will always outperform a LLM because the human knows what the ineffable qualities are that make a piece of art resonate.
100% yes but just because I really hate how everyone conflates AI with LLMs these days I have to say this: The LLM isn't generating the image, it's at most generating a prompt for an image generating AI (which you could also write yourself)

this is clear proof that AI art is soulless and real artists will always outperform AI

Haha, humans taking over AI jobs!
Somehow they invented a contest that’s more boring than watching paint dry.
The analogy sucks because it implies AI is in any way beneficial.
Generative AI or AI in general?
Because AI has tons of uses that are actually very beneficial.
A very small example: First Person Shooters and other action games would be very boring without enemy AI.

Why do people act like generative AI has no uses? AlphaFold2 was a generational leap in protein folding. Alphatensor was used to find previously unknown sparse matrix multiplication algorithms. These are all examples of generative ai being useful on a societal scale.

Yeah it's a bad analogy because aimbots actually get good results.
But they also suck out the joy and soul of games, so it's pretty apt.

I'm shocked i haven't seen captchas of the form "choose which image is AI generated"
People who use Lemmy would be able to tell the difference most of the time, but the average person would have zero idea.
Just look at any of the YouTube videos with obviously AI generated clickbait thumbnails that get 10s of millions of views. Or all of the shitty obvious Photoshop thumbnails that existed before AI.

it's like... yeah you can tweak every single parameter and build your own checkpoints and stack hundreds of extra networks on top of one another and that is certainly a skill, but creating art with intent is an entirely different skill. and the first one won't give you shit if the contest is about creating art with intent.

What front end is this? Looks gorgeous
Is it not mono? It looks like mono.
Edit: oh I'm sleep deprived, I thought you said font.
I appreciate the enthusiasm
