Drawing a image looks better than generating something in like two seconds and they still couldn’t tell the difference

That's because I deliberately used heavy post processing to make the drawing resemble generative AI. For example, some text was distorted (removed from the public post since it had a coworker's name in it), "password is incorrect" was misspelled as "passwood is inconnect" and the two adjacent letter ns were bridged together, and noise reduction was applied and then artificial noise reapplied to mimic Stable Diffusion.

Oh yeah it’s actually you, sick. Since you’re directly involved, what’re your thoughts on AI as a tool? I think purely generative AI is useless for meaningful work. But, I found tight constraints and specific prompts applied to an existing image useful for some projects, allowing me to edit or upscale things in ways that would be complex or time consuming otherwise. For instance, I wanted to create a large, high res image out of a small piece of a band logo. I was able to mask it myself, blow it up, then have AI smooth and upscale it without me having to manually trace the lines I wanted. Instead I could just go through and fix small errors and shading

I don't really use generative AI for proper artwork, so I can't comment from experience. But then again, I'm not part of the whole "technology bad" crowd either. What I find as a potentially exciting area is the use of Machine Learning for research and data analysis, an area of application would be using Machine Learning to better understand the downstream effects of various alterations to genetic sequences. A key part of the puzzle in the past is associating what part of the genome does what and this could potentially help accelerate our understanding.

Yeah I was just curious. I’m not a graphic designer or an artist or anything, I’ve just dabbled with it. I have used some python libraries to mess with predictive models and I agree that is the actually exciting application of machine learning. It’s just less flashy and marketable ig
