"Midjourney now offers a clever twist on its #AI image software, using its powerful machine-learning algorithms to generate text descriptions of already-existing images. This makes detailed image captions trivially easy to make and could totally change the game for blind people when it comes to pictures. "

Here’s my suggestion: get your AI to write books, then get your AI to read them.
Repeat this infinitely in a closed loop of techbro busywork until you get bored or die.
Leave the rest of us to create and appreciate the art form in a modest human way.

#Monocle is #OpenSource eyewear:
"a pocket sized #AR device for the imaginative hacker."
"...tiny heads-up display which clips onto your existing eyewear. It’s packed full of powerful hardware which is perfect for when you’re on the go. It connects to your mobile phone over Bluetooth, and includes a few handy sensors such as touch buttons, camera and microphone. The included FPGA is perfect for #computerVision, #AI or graphics acceleration directly on the device."

ChatGPT gets treated like technological magic, but that ignores the humans behind the curtain that make it function.
OpenAI paid Sama to hire Kenyan workers at $1.32 to $2 an hour to review “child sexual abuse, bestiality, murder, suicide, torture, self harm, and incest” content. Their work made the tool less toxic, but left them mentally scarred. The company ended the contract when they found out TIME was digging into their practices.

Here's a good piece that lays out some advantages to #AI narrated #audiobooks. The trouble is that there is no analysis of what happens when an author or publisher decides to forego hiring a human and go directly to this method.

I really enjoy listening to audiobooks and appreciate the emotion and nuance that skilled narrators bring to the story. So I have my (considerable) doubts that AI-voiced audiobooks will be just as good. Hope this doesn’t become the norm. #Bookstodon #BookToot #AudioBooks #AI
