What are your thoughts on Generative Machine Learning models? Do you like them? Why? What future do you see for this technology?

What about non-generative uses for these neural networks? Do you know of any field that could use such pattern recognition technology?

I want to get a feel for what are the general thoughts of Lemmy Users on this technology.

    I would probably be a bit more excited if it didn’t start coming out during a time of widespread disinformation and anti-intellectualism.

    I just come here to share animal facts and similar things, and the amount of reasonably realistic AI images and poorly compiled “fact sheets”, and recently also passable videos of non-real animals is very disappointing. It waters down basic facts as it blends in to more and more things.

    Stuff like that is the lowest level of bad in the grand scheme of things. I don’t even like to think of the intentionally malicious ways we’ll see it be used. It’s a going to be the robocaller of the future, but not just spamming our landlines, but everything. I think I could live without it.
