Justine's bookshelf is a boring person's bookshelf. AI makes you boring.
Why though? I genuinely don't know what the use case is here. If you have a bookshelf it already has your books on it, you could take a photo of that. If you wanted a list of book recommendations, a text list would be more useful.
No book reader would store their books like that you fucking moron. They'd have as many as they could fit crammed in there. Maybe if you actually read more you wouldn't need AI to do your thinking for you.
That's so you can tell at a glance what an interesting and quirky person they are!
Most of the titles seemed to be about pets or the objects that serve them. Such a full rich life.
Shit like this makes me wonder if AIs convincing people to kill themselves is really such a terrible thing.
That's just a shotgun blast of random books.
Is there a Venn diagram for people who are into Ai like this and people who go to strip clubs and think the stripper is "into" them?
"we swear we didn't train on copyrighted works but for pure coincidence we can generate an exact copy of the cover of such copyrighted work"
fill the shelves based on what it knows about you
The results on her shelves:
-
Do you struggle to be creative?
-
How to steal art
-
EXTREMELY ONLINE
Superintelligence, please put books on this shelf that suit me! (gets a picture filled with "Accepting that you're a stupid loser fuckface", volumes I-XV)
In defense of steal like an artist, its more of a self help book about learning to like the process of making things, not literally about how to steal art.
Hilariously its also very anti AI
"You can ask chatgpt how to wipe your ass since you're unable to think for yourself."
I have actually seen people in online discussions quoting chatgpt about this topic.
We deserve collapse

Oh wow, that's so cool. Definitely worth the $2 trillion spent on AI so far.
Also the knock off effects like computer parts quadrupling in price, the ecological damage, fucking over local power grids, and speed running propaganda.
Don't forget further entrenchment of state and corporate power over our lives!
I've seen billboards saying "many new datacenters are designed to reuse water" like... OK? that's ONE aspect of it. you're still installing natural gas turbines and diesel generators and taking enormous amounts of electricity...
"many"
Not to mention 'many' is vague and probably doesn't apply to the one who paid for the billboard or it would say which one. It is like having a sign that says 'many chefs wash their hands'.
Cool, but the one roght here is the most important one to me at this moment.

This is less meaningful than filling bookshelves in Skyrim.
Hey chatgpt, make me an image of a bookshelf with 15 copies of The Lusty Argonian Maid
Both volumes.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That's uh, not how you fill a bookshelf

Also, most books are not presented on bookshelves like that. Spine out, usually.
And like, why have to take a picture of an empty bookshelf? Just have your slop machine generate the shelf too
Or literally just ask for a bulleted list...
(You know, assuming one isn't already capable of finding books to read for oneself, looking at human-generated recommended reading lists, or asking real people for recommendations)

These are just marketable books, which makes sense for statistical model blob.

I read this a bit differently. How much does the AI agent actually know about me? It probably has internal directives to not disclose exactly how much information it - or the parent company- has profiled, but prompts like this might be a workaround to learning how much they've really got on me.
You can tell she outsources all of her brain activity to ChatGPT just from her not questioning the placement of books.

Steal like an ~~Artist~~ Psychopathic Silicon Valley Billionaire
Best new relationship I've formed this year is with my local bookstores owner. She knows what I've been reading and we talk about what I'm looking for. My favorite books I've read recently have come from her. Humans > machines
Don't we already have perfectly good recommendation algorithms? Not to mention the more social alternative of asking for recommendations...

Absolutely devastating to have "Extremely Online" on the list.

Wow! I guess AI was worth all that water!
...seriously, what's the point of making it an image aside from posting a (probably unpaid!) ad on Twitter?
Yikes
Yeah, but the librarian won't know which anime you've cranked it to.
"Ai bro gets recomended the book "steal like an artist" by the ai itself"
Such an amazing self own
Generating a list of books isn't hard or impressive. Taking the known cover art for those books and displaying it in a layout doesn't require fancy ai either.
Also not sure why you'd want this beyond just the list

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.
