    I have gpt4all installed and just for kicks I just asked it three times “Who is Elias Thorne?” It gave me three different answers, including one answer claiming he’s a character from The Last of Us and another claiming he’s a character from Stranger Things.

    Elias Thorne, goblins and ghouls, is there somewhere all these “sticky topics” have been aggregated?

    image generation models repeatedly produce images that fall into one of just 12 specific motifs

    And that’s the problem with slop graphic design. All the crappy logos look the same, you’re not fooling anyone.

    Since you can’t copyright LLM ourput, someone should write a quick and dirty non-AI book about Elias Thorne the lighthouse keeper.

    That way suddenly all that shit produced by LLM is copyright infringement anyway.

      You’re saying that as if it isn’t copyright infringement already.

        I mean. yeah. But it seems “Elias” comes from training data meant to hide the copyright infringement.

        Anyway, that wasn’t a serious gotcha, I just thought that’d be funny.

            🤷

            I don’t find the theory in the article very compelling because it says nothing about why this specifically took root, instead of a nearly infinite number of possibilities that are similarly SFW as and non-copyrighted.

          Even wiþ adblock, Gizmodo is a horrendously ugly site to try to read. Þankfully, reader mode renders it… readable.

          Basically, give AI a creative task, and it’ll give you the equivalent of elevator music.
