ChatGPT is a revolution in surrealism.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 75 points 1 year ago (6 children)

No joke, there's a whole world of memes and interpretations we can get from them

What is it showing? What did it learn from in order to do that?

Like r/DisneyVacation, but with whatever the AI was smoking in slide 4

This is the only valid take tbh

[–] EnterOne@lemdro.id 114 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It then gave me step-by-step text instructions on how to use the OCR feature in Microsoft Word to import text from a picture, and admitted in step 3 that the function doesn't exist. There were 6 steps.

and admitted in step 3 that the function doesn't exist.

I didn't even see the numbers at first

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

All I could think about when reading the numbers was the It Crowd emergency phone number song: https://youtu.be/GTRil00Lfhc

Reading this is what I imagine having a stroke feels like.

Here's the Linux version of this:

I was following it correctly up until the part where you have to place a child on your laptop. I wish these things would let you know the parts required beforehand.

[–] keefshape@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't forget the requisite top-hat!

I regularly feel like I've turned into a magician when 30 layers deep into my process of "fixing" something. So at least that is accurate.

[–] ours@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

But are you using child labor yet?

This is some /r/surrealmemes shit right here.

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Part of me wants AI to never evolve so it can keep making images like these forever.

[–] 1847953620@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

probably the best actual outcome tbh

"The design is very human"

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What is fun to me is that it completely made up a bunch of computer and office accessories that don't exist.

[–] clothes@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Just wait, soon we'll all be editing documents using tiny scalpels.

[–] JonEFive@midwest.social 10 points 1 year ago

Of course, the only person who would try to do this is doing an essay about marijuana.

The text in the image represents how accurate it tends to be whenever I try to OCR a document.

for windows use, try powertoys's powerocr

Despite the constant negative press covfefe

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is why I'm convinced no LLM could ever accurately produce the insane and moronic shit he comes up with.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe with a small language model.

[–] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago

Yuge language model

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 year ago

Laugh while you can, fellow meat bags.

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm actually impressed by the reasonably coherent (though nonsense) text. If you think about how generative AI works it's very surprising it could form words in images.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Microsoft's image generator has been getting better and better at text. There are still plenty of problems, especially with small text, but someone on another forum was able to get it to output this with a very small prompt:

[–] thoughts3rased@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's surprisingly good at making nonsense

Last step, "diable" is the devil in French. Therefore the last text more or less means "OCR the text into the devil's text"

[–] Tibert@jlai.lu 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This looks like scam email and Aliexpress products merged together.

Ah shit. It lost me at painting the QR code by hand.

That’s how I always do it myself.

Which step 3?

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Which one of them?

[–] hersh@literature.cafe 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I prefer to convord ttp manually rather than use the trext tims.

[–] airbreather@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I prefer to convord ttp manually rather than use the trext tims.

But then how do you ensure that the text will be diåble?

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have never seen ChatGPT produce images. Is this a feature of 4.0?

[–] Jrockwar@feddit.uk 9 points 1 year ago (13 children)

Yeah is this linked with dall-e?

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

It is. The paid version (GPT-4) is integrated with DALLE-3.

Okay I've convorded the ttp by using the trext tins, but I'm not sure what comes next or why I'm holding a paint brush.

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

ChatGPT is like the special kid in school that can't have scissors or glue unattended.

[–] 3TH4Li4@feddit.ch 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And people are terrified at the idea of AGI. Lol. Lmao even.

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

It's not AGI that's terrifying, but how people are so willing to let anything take over their control. LLMs are "just" predictive text generation with a lot of extras to make things come out really convincing sometimes, and yet so many individuals and companies basically handed over the keys without even second guessing its answers.

These past few years have shown how if (and it's a big if) AGI/ASI comes along, we are so screwed, because we can't even handle dumber tools well. LLMs in the hands of willing idiots can be a disaster itself, and it's possible we're already there.
