I am not convinced that AI is all it's cracked up to be and articles like this just reinforce my opinion, there seems to be lots of hyperbole and tech companies making a fortuneA ridiculous AI-generated rat penis made it into a peer-reviewed journal
A prominent scientific journal has officially retracted an article featuring an AI-generated image of a rat with large genitals alongside strings of nonsensical gibberish words. The embarrassing reversal highlights the risk of using the increasingly popular AI tools in scientific literature.
The AI-generated images appeared in a paper published earlier this week in the journal Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology. The three researchers, who are from Xi’an Honghui Hospital and Xi’an Jiaotong University, were investigating current research related to sperm stem cells of small mammals. As part of the paper, the researchers included an illustration of a cartoon rat with a phallus towering over its own body. Labels appeared beside the rat with incoherent works like “testtomcels,” “Dissisilcied” and “dck.”

You are thinking along the right lines.I am not convinced that AI is all it's cracked up to be and articles like this just reinforce my opinion, there seems to be lots of hyperbole and tech companies making a fortune
The rat thing was a poor use of AI. Writing scientific papers is a poor use of AI. To be fair, text to image is a pretty poor use, although it's something if it's the only available option. Actually helping scientists is a good use of AI. I don't doubt it will improve in lots of areas, and how we interact with it needs to become far more sophisticated than typing in a line of text.I am not convinced that AI is all it's cracked up to be and articles like this just reinforce my opinion, there seems to be lots of hyperbole and tech companies making a fortune
Amazing! Imagine what it could do with electronic music.AI generated hair metal music, with 80s flair. No info on which software was used. Edit: They wrote on another video they use Suno.

using one's penis to “have vigorous sex with” another.
Like this hair metal parody group:Is anyone else getting the ol' Heavy Metal cartoon vibe?
And when I write, about 80% of my spelling is done by spellchecker.The author Rie Kudan recently won a prestigious literary prize in Japan. She later admitted that about 5% of the book was done using ChatGPT.
I don't want to derail the thread but when researching some "Gravity's Rainbow " (Pynchon) weirdness I came across pictures of African men in Nazi uniforms.Black Nazis? An interesting concept.

Darnit! Bard is now Gemini? I've been writing a gamebook, a pretty standard fantasy thing, but I'm also planning details of future gamebooks. The third I was planning is a sci-fi with an AI in it called Gemini. Guess I'll have to change that.For anyone who missed the Google Gemini LLM disaster, here is a very good summary. And also a bit of defensible conspiracy theory:

But then this month, Google rolled out a series of new AI models that it calls Gemini. It’s increasingly apparent that Gemini is among the more disastrous product rollouts in the history of Silicon Valley and maybe even the recent history of corporate America, at least coming from a company of Google’s prestige. Wall Street is starting to notice, with Google (Alphabet) stock down 4.5 percent on Monday amid analyst warnings about Gemini’s effect on Google’s reputation.
So more Dai than AIIt could well be genuine. It seems the Pembrokeshire coast has had several pieces of sand art over the years but I can't find that particular one.
This took three hours.
