On finally finding a use for generative AI

Forgive me father, for I have slopped.

I have very dim thoughts of generative AI for things like art and other creative elements. It’s why I was smiling when Sora shut down. It’s still coming for coders, but so far I’ve been okay.

A consequence of AI I’ve noticed is that people are beginning to ask questions to AI to get answers, and then prompting me to say “this is what ChatGPT thinks, why do you disagree?”. Obviously, when I suggest things that ChatGPT don’t consider – like budget.

AI can be wrong, and despite this, I’ve had a few times where people have insisted that AI is right, and I’m wrong.

For those who say that who are based in the UK, I’ve started to reply by sending an infographic I generated after a couple of Guinness Zeros. This was my prompt:-

Create an infographic for all the words used in the UK for a dinner roll, sorted by location. 16 locales based on geographic area.

This was what was generated.

Obviously, when sent to them, if they know how contentious dinner roll naming is in the UK, they accept that AI can be hallucinogenic.

Feel free to use and copy and send to people.

As an aside, I’ve seen more and more of these on Facebook in particular. A list of WWE champions that have images of Harry Kane for Kane, or the worst one: a “Darts Heroes of England” that had a picture of West Indian cricketer Clive Lloyd instead of Colin Lloyd.

Of course, I’m going to enjoy people saying “I can’t prompt”. To which I say, you go to Derbyshire and ask for a Chip Becky, and see what you get back….
