I use it for generating subtitles. It figures out context, it ignores stuttering, it does punctuation etc. It’s really is just better. With clean audio it transcribes like a human does.

It does better than other techniques with dirty audio, but when it fails it fails weird, which is the big issue here.

Whisper really is a lot better when it works, and it’s free. The problem is that it refuses to produce gibberish or give up when it doesn’t work. You’ll always need an editor.

The architecture changed, there is still progress to be made there. But LLMs will forever be stuck in 2021, all data afterwards is tainted. Not a lot has been added.

In fact, Whisper was developed to transcribe videos for more training data, because they ran out of text data. These bad transcriptions are in newer models.

It’s actually extremely good at figuring out confusing text. It gets weird when the audio quality is bad.

I use it for generating subs for obscure movies.

Something very basic and transparent like lemmy’s ‘scaled’, sure

Artificial intelligence is intelligent like artificial grass is grass. That’s how the word artificial works. It just means man-made, says nothing about quality.

It used to mean all generated output though. Calling only mistakes hallucinations is new, definitely because of hype.

So is bullshitting. More so, only human minds can bullshit.

We anthropomorphize machines all the time, it’s fine.

I’d prefer we’d start calling all genai output hallucinations again. It used to be like 10 years ago, but somewhere along the line marketing decided hallucinated truths aren’t “hallucinations”.

I’ve seen and prefer “Twitter, now X”.

Politics on Reddit has always been shit. Product reviews and recommendations were good. How-to’s and troubleshootings that don’t fit on stackoverflow are still good.

If you take psychedelics something similar can happen, and it’s way less intense with faces on screens. Maybe it has to do with depth perception?

Lolicon is not illegal, and neither is giving your video a title that implies CSAM.

That begs the question, what about pedophiles who intentionally seek out simulated CP to avoid hurting children?

It’s not good enough yet and there’s no proof it ever will be, and at an acceptable cost. There isn’t even any clean data to train it on anymore. So much content today is gpt3 gibberish.

That’s why they’re asking

Yeah that’s what I’m saying, we’re turn the planet into big numbers in bank accounts. https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2018/01/dude-you-broke-the-future.html

Capitalism is the paperclip maximizer, don’t need AGI for that. AI fears are a tool it uses to achieve maximization.
