Slopdragon is of many forms.

Just depends on who generated it, and how (which software? Via txt2img or using a reference image? etc.)

Yeah, I guess if most people here still aren't OK with AI-generated images, then so be it. 🤷 Even if I disagree with them.

Good points Smorty. 👍 I'll try to be more considerate with my communication in the future.

Also, I did see 196 posts quite a bit when scrolling through the front page a few months back, but I wasn't really subscribed to it. And even then, I wasn't a frequent commenter under them. I've just checked Lemmy again after a multi-month break, so I probably didn't see you around.

I personally prioritise clear, grammatical communication, especially if it's not in an "instant-chat" setting like Discord, but if the community you're in is lax about this, it's like, whatever. At least it's understandable enough for the LLMs to glean with 99% accuracy, so... 🤷

Have a great day/night. ☺️

What's wrong? Can't appreciate a little self deprecating humour? 🙃

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

My point is that AI chatbots IMO aren't completely useless, you just have to know what they're good for.

For example, they perform well on translation, many times even better than stuff like Google Translate since they are able to take in contextual cues, correct their results to have better grammar/be more natural, and can adapt based on the user's instructions.

Also, I recognise that LLMs alone aren't really reliable with factual information. That's why I use sites such as Perplexity and Scira, which cite web search results. I also often check those citations myself for further context.

... also, why do you type like that? Is it your way of adding a signature to your posts, or what?

I had to use AI to make your post readable

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

My take is that it's just another way of illustrating your shitpost. Doesn't matter whether you drew it yourself, or you genned it with Stable Diffusion, or took a random stock photo from Google Images. It should all be subject to the same quality guidelines anyway (e.g. no spam).

I don't believe that it's theft any more than making fanart or taking inspiration from other artworks is theft, either - GiovanH's blog post provides a better elaboration on this than I could.

I agree with some other commenters that regardless of what the policy ends up being, harassment is unacceptable and the mods should vigilantly act against it.

Well, now they've got a King, so...
(But I guess it could apply figuratively, to people such as Margaret Thatcher and JK Rowling.)

The voice isn't faithful, but I like how it turned out musically... that is, after a few regens and prompt changes. 🙃

LyricsLa-la-la-lava ch-ch-ch-chicken
Steve's Lava Chicken, yeah, it's tasty as hell
Ooh, mamacita, now you're ringin' the bell
Crispy and juicy, now you're havin' a snack
Ooh, super spicy, it's a lava attack

Redstone whispers, hoppers hum,
Eggs are crackin’, here they come—
Cluck-cluck-cluckin’, feathers in a blaze,
Lava blade spins, automated craze!
Drop a seed, then mine the blocks,
Watch ‘em flock to fiery shocks,
One wrong step? Well, that’s your fate—
Dinner’s served on a diamond plate!

La-la-la-lava ch-ch-ch-chicken
Steve's Lava Chicken, yeah, it's tasty as hell
Ooh, mamacita, now you're ringin' the bell
Crispy and juicy, now you're havin' a snack
Ooh, super spicy, it's a lava attack

Golden carrots, stacks for days,
Auto-farmin’ in a blaze,
No more huntin’, no more bows—
Just a pit where lava flows!
Clockwork cluckers, feathers fly,
Inferno’s cookin’ in the sky,
Finger-lickin’, no remorse,
Survival’s got a lava sauce!

La-la-la-lava ch-ch-ch-chicken
Steve's Lava Chicken, yeah, it's tasty as hell
Ooh, mamacita, now you're ringin' the bell
Crispy and juicy, now you're havin' a snack
Ooh, super spicy, it's a lava attack

Woah-oh-oh, feel the flame,
One misclick and you’ll scream my name—
Heatwave dance, ash in the breeze,
Sizzle like a chickpeas!
Harvest moon or nether spark,
One bite lights the overworld dark,
But don’t you dare touch that lake—
This chicken's hot, it’s no mistake!

La-la-la-lava ch-ch-ch-chicken
Steve's Lava Chicken, yeah, it's tasty as hell
Ooh, mamacita, now you're ringin' the bell
Crispy and juicy, now you're havin' a snack
Ooh, super spicy, it's a lava attack

La-la-la-lava ch-ch-ch-chicken
Steve's Lava Chicken, burnin’ through the dwell
Ooh, sweet victory, that enchanting smell—
Automated hunger? Never lookin’ back!
Ooh, super spicy, it’s a lava attack!

I'm so sorry. So much time has passed that I've now forgotten what I was looking for. 🤷
All good, though.

Paint It Black (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Made using Google ImageFX.
Prompt: "Children's book illustration, in the style of Roald Dahl. The textless picture is mostly black and white. It depicts a young girl with short red hair and a black dress frowning, as she stands next to a red front door, and, with a thick paintbrush, paints the bottom half of the door black while holding a metallic paint bucket."

Inspired by The Rolling Stones - Paint It, Black. Originally posted as a "name that song" challenge, but it seems a lot of people really liked the picture (as evidenced by how many upvotes it got).

This is an app for iOS and Android by ElevenLabs, where you can import a web article or ebook, and listen to it with some of its text-to-speech voices.

I've tried it out for a few hours so far and so far it's pretty OK. However, I did notice a couple of problems that could be ironed out:

  • When using a PDF, ElevenReader will read out all of the text in the document, including page numbers and repeated headings. I couldn't find a way to disable this, so I just resorted to using an ePub version of my book instead.
  • The Lily voice will sometimes drop the first one or two syllables of a sentence, especially after it has paused for a few seconds. I tested a few other voices, and they didn't seem to have this problem.

Anyway it's nice that an app like this is being offered for free and without ads. Apparently a paid tier will be introduced later, but I hope this isn't at the expense of any of the free features. (It would be even better for an open source alternative of comparable quality to be developed in case, but I don't know any.)

(Feel free to crosspost this to other relevant communities! :)

 

Original title: What Actual Aliens Might Look Like

Summary by Gemini (slightly edited): This video is about the possibility of alien life. It discusses how life on Earth is incredibly diverse and exists in the strangest and most extreme places. The video then uses our imagination and real science to travel to three possible worlds, each more alien than the next. The first world is the ice hell of the planet Ipa, where life has evolved to be black to make use of the weak infrared light. The second world is the gas giant Nimbus, where life exists in the form of cloud plankton and sky whales. The third world is the moon Monier, where life has evolved to use ammonia instead of water and to incorporate magnetized minerals into its biology. The video concludes by saying that scientific speculation is fun but also useful, and that it can give us ideas about what we should look out for when searching for alien life.

 

Never heard this extended version, but it's really cool :D I'm not sure where it comes from, maybe it's ripped from a tie-in video game?
