The AI dooooooom thread

[Josquius]

I use AI just goofing around, mostly preparing RPG stuff for my games with my son, and it is rather shocking just how bad it is at keeping track of simple details and mixing things up that no human would ever mix up. It requires tons of handholding just in the silly things I use it for. I often think of that person wanting to generate an image of Jesus flipping over the tables of the money changers and for the AI to produce an image of gymnast Jesus doing backflips over tables. The money changers would have been impressed.

It can also be shockingly great at things. But fuck I would be super paranoid about using it in a professional or serious capacity.

Yep. Last month I gave a chat gpt rpg someone had put together a whirl.
It was super good. Really good fun. Except.... It would always forget things. Character you haven't mentioned for a few passages? Oh she's actually called this different name and has a different personality.
That quest you already completed? Here's something very similar indeed. You haven't done this yet.
The maker is aware of this and has interesting ideas to fix it, trying to combine AI with a database. But seems it'll be very load intensive. As an approach has potential though.

Oh. And of course other issues are the genericness of some content. Apparently a known issue that every female character has one of 4 names.

I do use AI at work incidentally. It's good for helping to reframe things.
And of course transcripts are very useful.
The key is to just take what the AI gives as suggestions and not something to blindly deliver.

Exactly. When I read news stories about companies including AI hallucinations in reports, the shocking thing to me isn't that they used AI but that they released a report without reviewing it.

The rector of the university of Ghent found out that using Ai to write speeches might not have been the smartest thing to do.
