How many fingers does that woman have
That is a good question! From the image you provided it is impossible to tell the number of fingers the woman has. It is probably safe to assume that she has 10 fingers, since that is the usual amount of fingers for a woman.
You’re, right, as always! 🧑🏫 Most women (and men) do have 10 fingers-I should have taken that into consideration 😅 I’ll be sure to do better next time! 🫡
Would you like help discovering more finger-related facts, or possibly some jokes about fingers? Let me know, I’m here for you! (Also I deleted your entire prod database uwu) 💪🤖 That’s an intriguing inquiry, burgermeister! Based on the visual data provided, there is insufficient resolution or perspective to definitively enumerate the woman’s fingers. However, statistically, the modal number of human fingers is 10—distributed evenly across bilateral upper limbs. Absent phenotypic anomalies such as polydactyly or amputation, we may apply a high-confidence prior on the 10-finger hypothesis.
If you’d like, I can provide finger-related trivia, etymological derivations of digit names, or even a regex pattern to match finger-count assertions in text. 🧠✨ Let me know how deep you’d like to go down the finger rabbit hole!

Are we seeing AI generated jokes now? Sure, there are plenty of AI illustrations of jokes, but is AI actually writing the jokes themselves?
I asked ChatGPT to write a related joke, and this is what it said:
Why did the computer get kicked out of the finger-counting contest? Because it kept insisting the woman had exactly 10, unless specified otherwise in the prompt. 😆💻✋
So, no, LLMs are not writing (good) jokes yet.
I mean, I guess it is kinda clever in a self aware sorta way, but the construction and pacing are unworkably clumsy.
I asked deepseek that question and it replied:
The computer got kicked out of the finger-counting contest because it started counting from zero!
much better. still not funny because the joke itself is ass but this punchline at least makes sense for the premise.

Here’s one for you:
Why was Yubaba (from Spirited Away) disqualified from the finger-counting contest?
Because she kept adding ten more fingers halfway through!
(For context: Yubaba is a witch who magically grows extra hands with 10 fingers each when counting money. She’d definitely have an unfair advantage! 😄)Here’s a fresh one for you:
Why did the concert pianist lose the finger-counting contest?
Because they kept insisting that a “perfect 10” should involve scales!
(Alternatively, playing on the unexpected twist…)
Why did the robot win the finger-counting contest?
Because it kept saying, “This is too easy—I’m counting in binary!”
Hope that gives you a chuckle! 😄None of those are funny.
You could rework this one to make a joke that works (though it’s not hilarious or anything, just standard bad dad joke levels)

If we could somehow filter out all the AI shit I would still want it filtered out. Even if it was “verifiably” better than humans.
Automated art is extremely depressing. Generative AI seeks to dehumanize and invalidate human expression.
Generative AI seeks to dehumanize and invalidate human expression.
Would you mind elaborating on that statement? Consider my using a meme generator to plaster some text over a stock image. I express myself regularly by this means. How does this compare to using an image generator to produce the meme? Why does the latter “invalidate human expression”?
Everything that is generated by AI is something old.
It’s regurgitated from existing data.
No matter how well its obfuscated that remains true.
If image generation replaces human artists then the new/creative element eventually fades from art in its totality. Eventually all humanity and creativity is gone and we’re left with AI’s platonic reality for art.
It’s like the dead internet theory but for art, eventually the automated slop will blot out anything human, and humans will make less art as a result.
Photography didn’t replace painted art.
Digital art didn’t replace traditional art.
3d art didn’t replace hand drawn art.
Why is AI going to replace anything?
I think that idea is based on a proposition “AI generated images will replace all other type of images” which is not true.
It’s just another tool that will be used among others, some people will use it, some people won’t, some people will use as a mixed media utility.
The existence of one thing doesn’t invalidate or harm the existence of another. As in many aspects of life most things can coexist together.
I visit some image boards which are media neutral, this meaning they don’t discriminate by media. Most art there used to be digital painted or 3d, and now there is AI art but it hasn’t replaced anything. Digital and 3d art are posted at the same rate, now there is just more art in the form of AI generated art. It didn’t replace the other artists, it just added to them. Now there’s more content for people to enjoy, everyone wins.
AI is significantly different from the other things you mention. With the others a human is still involved, and in fact indispensible, in the process of creating art.
Not so with AI (except of course for all the human art illegally used to train it). It is also capable of pumping out its creations at a speed no human can match. You search for examples in history of similar things happening, but the fact of the matter is that nothing in human history is equivalent to this. So using history as some sort of guiding light is quite the fool’s errand. We can only judge by what is happening, and the reasons for those things happening, and extrapolate from there.
And judging from those facts then it does become obvious that automated content will very soon drown out all human made creativity, just from the sheer volume of automated content being created at exponentially larger rates.
Human input is still needed. As far as I know there’s not a skynet level AI doing things by itself.
Human interaction is indispensable in AI creation. And it can be far more involved that other forms of art. A person can take more time and effort producing an AI image than in making something quickly in Photoshop/Gimp.
Speed argument is invalidated by photography which can produce images faster than AI so… A photography can be taken in fractions of a second, AI usually takes more time. The difference on time between a oil portrait and a photography is far greater than whatever we have now with AI, and people still have hand made portraits. I have one of myself.
Anyway, I suppose you are subduing your opinion to that prediction. Then I just hope that if the prediction proves false, and if in the future AI have not destroyed other forms of art then your opinion will change and you will recognize you were wrong. I obviously accept the same proposal if in the future AI art have destroyed other forms of art then I’ll had to admit I was wrong.
AI is replacing every form of art you just described
Not it’s not. All the artists I follow keep doing art as usual.
Same as I said other user. If that’s your concern, live by it. If in X number or years other forms of art keep existing and AI have not taken over everything promise yourself that you will change your mind and admit that your were wrong. Think about the people that told you that was going to happen and stop trusting them.
I have promised myself that if in 5-10 hears AI have taken over art and all traditional art is dead and all art is bad I would do the same.
Because learning from our mistakes is the only way to move forward.
Here you are making a big assumption “AI will take over”. Just promise yourself that that assumption being correct or incorrect will have moral consequences for your future self.
I say this because I’m very certain that that prediction will not occur. But sadly people who made that prediction and bullied all over the place anyone liking AI will keep being the same once proven wrong.
Tell me. In which year I will be unable to read a book written by a person, read a comic made with digital painting, look at a oil handmade painting or look at a composite photography?

I really don’t care about AI usage when its memes and shitposts.
every time i see someone arguing in favor of ai art, my lymhonodes get a little more swollen
Or just accept it as another form of humor and laugh at it if you find it funny.
are ai jokes like reverse captchas
I laugh because they are ai generated,not because they are funny (most of the time, thry are not)
I’ve seen ai make jokes that were clever, original, and context aware. Very interesting. There’s a theory of mind (or several - I dunno - I do my own philosophizing) that says that valence and emotions in general stem from the social need. My personal theory is that the world, including inanimate objects, can be nice or mean to you from a human perspective. Anyways, what is language, if not an exchange of conveying social needs? I don’t see llm’s as some blank jigsaw puzzle of words, but a derivation and a case study. Notice: I believe it’s a potentially valuable tool for very particular studies, not some magic catch-all for reasoning that can do anything worth a shit. More akin to a sociopath manipulating you.
It’s crazy to watch the insane level of outrage that the existence and growth of AI produced content stirs up in some people when it seems obvious that the development of AI is unstoppable. It’s like watching people get angry at the first steam engines that appeared. I genuinely worry about their mental health over the next few years as they realise that being angry on the internet isn’t going to slow anything down at all.
It’s tough as a computer science professor from a related perspective. Lots of students arbitrarily hating anything AI related because of this, including all of the traditional techniques from the 60 years prior to the rise of LLMs and diffusion models, and others misconstruing or discounting any AI class that isn’t LLM or diffusion related.
I never like to say technology is inevitable, as the inevitability argument is one of the best marketing tools major companies have to justify their poor ethics and business models (see: the gig economy founders, the “Momentum” mindset). It’s clear, though, that there is quite a paradigm shift occuring.
The paradigm shift toward stupid monthly paying users?
It’s amazing to watch people like you not get the point at all. It’s like you’re missing some piece of yourself and cannot understand why people appreciate the humanity behind art. And to act like we should just lie down and take it?
I’m sorry for whatever the fuck happened to you.
Unless AI became sentient and do things by itself, AI art still have humanity behind it. You not liking the tool the human used for making the art does not invalidate the humanity of the person who used that tool.
If like me going back a couple of centuries and saying that a photograph was not made by a human, but by a soulless machine. And that anyone who enjoys or makes photography is missing their humanity.
You cannot invalidate someone’s humanity. That’s against human rights or something.
You should go face to face with a person who made some image they like and love and put a lot of effort into it using AI tools, and say to them, face to face and looking them in the eyes “I do not consider you a human being”.
Same as people needed to travel and know other cultures to cure racism. The butlerian yihad needs to meet different people to cure something that’s quickly turning into bigotry.
“That’s against human rights or something” wow, real strong comeback, bud. For “art” created just using prompts I don’t consider that to have any real humanity but the person is still a person. I did not say otherwise.
I use Heroforge to make extremely high quality D&D minis and make use of the kitbashing feature to do even more custom shit. Even still I understand the difference between that program and pure 3D modelling and don’t go around telling people I’m a 3D modelling artist(I am, somewhat, but that’s using SketchUp and I design buildings). I also know artists who write scripts and do motion capture but have AI programs layer faces on top of that but they still did the lion’s share of the work. Entering in prompts is so many levels below any kind of true art, assisted or not, that it just frankly shouldn’t be considered as such. There needs to be a human element, and when there isn’t it’s hollow and gross.
If someone brought an AI musician to the weekly jam we’d say “cool, but we’re here to play with human beings right now.” If they told us they were a musican “just using tools” that would be a whole other level of insulting, too. The human element is important, especially if all AI is doing is stealing material off the internet anyway. Have you ever seen one of those movies where they try to create life and despite having all the parts there’s just no spark?
“AI” is being used in place of people’s humanity(that they do have, but are not putting into this “art”) and that’s fucked up.
Your definition on what constitutes putting “humanity” into a piece of art is completely arbitrary. Thus I, and any rational being, reject it.
If a human have a image in his head and put it on any media that’s putting “humanity” into art. You can do it with AI, so the debate is closed for me. I’ve had images in my head that, after a lot of work, I’ve been able to put into a bitmap. The accuracy in which you can translate the image is a matter of skill as with any art of trade. But it can certainly be done with great accuracy using AI tools.
So there’s no rational argument to say that AI art cannot have “humanity”. Unless you start talking about “souls” or something like that.
It’s not arbitrary, you just don’t understand it.
I’ve mentioned that using tools is not the end of the world, but slapping together boring prompts that yield stolen, poorly executed jokes is not art. Having AI rip-off other artists it found on the internet is not art. Asking it to write an entire song for you is not art. Most any other time where it’s a tool it’s just a complex algorithm and not really “AI” and it needs to be guided. Being a guide may or may not make someone much of an artist, depending on context.
The pursuit of art is worth more than the end result and I’ll be honest that I have no idea how to explain that to you if you still don’t get it.
Asking it to write an entire song for you is not art.
Please correct me if I misunderstand your point. Are you saying that produce is not art if it is made because someone threw money at the creator and told them “do something for me”?
Cause if that’s your point, then a whole lot of classical music, for instance, is not art, because it was commissioned.
I’m saying that the person commissioning the artwork is not themselves the artist, and even moreso I’m specifically talking about lazy prompters who are asking AI to essentially steal art.
I’m really not sure where you got that idea from, if I’m honest.
Plenty of artists stole other people’s art. Entire genres are based on that. And one can even argue that all art is derivative and that truly original art do no exist.
It’s not just prompts there are hundreds or thousands of different variables, several programs you can join in different positions, you can make it complex to inimaginable level, to writing your own programs to do part of the task, or making your own Lora with your art or training a lors with other people’s art to achieve the result you want, it can get infinitely complex. You not liking or thinking is boring is irrelevant. Is complex enough and you can achieve specific results. It take time and expertise to do it right, as any other technique. And at the end it gives you enough freedom to be able to use it to express yourself which, in my book, is the definition of art.
You don’t need to explain art to me. I’ve been doing artistic work as amateur for several decades now, I can more or less paint, write and play some instruments, I have a few short stories with a few thousands readers, it’s nothing, but I know what the creative process is. And I’ve studied several courses of art history in university. I’m quite knowledge on the topic. I know about AI art because I find it extremely interesting and I’ve played quite a lot with it. But to be true most of the artistic things I still do are all manual, because I like it better, and because I get better results doing it like that. But I’ve seen other people getting very good results with AI tools.
Go search renaissance or baroque Churches and then come back and tell me that “copying other people’s work is not art”. Art being so different artist to artist is a relative recent thing, for most history all artists in a period just keep copying each other blatantly. I remember doing an exam where we had two pictures of two nearly identical renaissance churches and had to be able to differentiate the architects, and it was HARD. Those fuckers didn’t need AI to copy each other’s styles to the last stone. And nowadays are still studied as grand masters of their art.
Could you define what you mean by “human element”, exactly?
Literally just having a person involved, who has some level of skill(or even lack of skill!). You can look at the dead internet theory for the idea of why things kinda suck when it’s just bots talking to each other using parrotted phrases to talk about nothing.
We’re people. We’re imperfect, and that’s ok. A living thing that had to really work and experience life to produce something, even if it’s kinda bad, is so much more impressive to me than anything an over-hyped algorithm can shit out.
Whenever we create an AI with actual intelligence we can also start getting into what sentience is but for right now these things are just being horribly misused. People have hurt themselves, at least one kid killed himself, because of fucking LMMs that don’t even really know what’s going on. The “AI” tools we have are neat, sure, but when the entire product is created with genAI I mean what is the fucking point?
So, genuine question.
What do you propose should happen with the advances of AI?
Being used as a genuine tool, especially after it stops hallucinating, is fine to a point. We’re already finding that an over-reliance on LLMs and shit is causing issues for people, especially those with developing brains.
What I would use it for is to, eventually, use it to help expand tool libraries in programs or take away tasks that are ultimately just pure labour. I work in architecture(architectural technologist) and being able to use it to help draw plans(not design them for me, just draw them, would be awesome if it could understand proper layer usage, block usage and organization, and all those details. We’re nowhere near that right now, of course, and I would never want to hear myself saying “computer, design a building for me”.
I want to liken it to synchros in a manual transmission, or having ABS. I have full control over my vehicle still and it will never walk away from me just because my foot’s not on the brake pedal but it’s also not a huge fucking pain in the ass to drive because of double clutching. I’m still rev matching to change gears and everything, but there is forgiveness. I still support automatic transmissions for people who physically cannot drive stick but frankly at that point I have to ask why their neighbourhood in so underserved by public transportation.
Do you do anything creative? Like play music or make art? Have you ever noticed a skill within that taking a hit because of access to a new tool? I sure have, and am justifiably worried that when that tool becomes too powerful, especially too quickly, that too many of those skills will go unpracticed. With how people are using it even right now you can see very clearly that no one even has the curiousity to understand the help they’re getting.
AI should be a tool that helps humanity. If all we end doing is letting it take our humanity away then what on earth is the fucking point? Congrats, our meat is alive and uncreative, never being able to truly say “I did that”, just watching some computer make things for them.
I propose you eat less hype about the slop generators. AI doesn’t exist, and there is no reason to believe that we’re closer to understanding if it’s even possible. Machine learning algorithms have their uses and are used already a lot, and nobody is against that, but that’s not AI. LLMs being pushed everywhere, and it’s never useful or particularly liked, and that’s not AI either. My hunch is that this bubble will pop, leaving an unpleasant odour behind, which we will have to deal with for years after, and then tech bros will come up with a new bullshit that revolutionises the world and disrupts the universe, because there is no meritocracy and the world is stupid.
What constitutes AI by your definition?
Something that has actual intelligence, or at least significant portion of building blocks of intelligence.
The problem, of course, is that intelligence is a complicated, complex, sprawling phenomenon, with no real ways to measure it as a whole, at least to any degree of reliability.
Learning, reasoning, critical thinking. Creativity, logic, problem solving, abstraction. Self-awareness, self-reflection, general sense of self. You need most of the elements of most of the groups (and probably more that is also important but I am missing right now) in order to even begin to talk about possibility of intelligence. Then somehow we will need to solve the philosophical zombie problem, and I don’t envy the researchers who will have to do that, but that’s way later down the line.
What we have right now very demonstrably doesn’t have almost any of those. What we call machine learning can be called learning in a very specific and reductive way, and whatever emerged phenomenon we observe from that is it’s own beast, but intelligence it is not. All the other boxes are not ticked, and some, like creativity or critical thinking, are the opposite of ticked. It might lead to something in the future (personally I doubt it, but can’t rule out), it might just as likely be something else, or nothing entirely.
I am very unsecure in my speculations on it, but those who have the most robust and optimistic answers right now are actually those who want to sell you something, and most of them are salespeople with the expertise of sales and nothing more.
It doesn’t matter what I (or anyone) “proposes”. You may as well be asking me what I propose to do about the orbit of Jupiter. Arguing about it on the Internet is especially pointless. It’s the new “Old man shouts at clouds” basically…
Why did you join a discussion space if you don’t like discussing?
The way I see it, my comments have prompted an enormous amount of discussion. The most interesting comment, I think, was from PixelProf when they said “Lots of students arbitrarily hating anything AI related”. It’s this blind, herd mentality that I attempted (apparently successfully) to start a discussion about. In fact a lot of what I wrote was driven by the point you were making, which I interpreted as being a funny take on the way people react to AI generated content.
I wasn’t asking you because you know it is inevitable.
I was asking the other user because I do not see what can be done against this genie that is out of the bottle. Just abandoning is never going to happen and regulating isn’t going to fix all the qualms they have with it.
Dammit you’re right. Well, I guess that fixes everything.
I worry about the mental health of people that attempt to protect an overinflated technology and attack the mental fortitude of people who bring real problems up with the technology. this is especially true since those same white knights are literally being institutionalized for psychosis and are actively creating cults around specific models.
it’s absurd that people lacking the mental capacity to understand “a machine is not alive” have a seat at the table to discus the dangers presented by AI.
just want to point out that no technology in recorded history is “unstoppable”, though it seems like that was said more to convince yourself than us.
Neither I, nor anyone, can “protect” it or slow it down. You either find a way to work with what’s happening or spiral into greater and greater impotent rage. Better accept this now than slowly go mad no?
It’s because most of it is utter dross, that’s why.
Despite their size, steam engines do not typically disrupt my workflow.
Sure, but I expect they disrupted the workflow of folks in 1804…
It’s like watching people get angry at the first steam engines that appeared.
It is nothing of the sort. Steam engines served mostly useful purposes. AI mostly does not (at least not in an open world environment, it has excellent purposes in closed environments like medicine and science). The fact that it is indeed unstoppable does not make the outrage of its infestation of everything on the internet less, quite contrary.
I genuinely worry about their mental health over the next few years
I guess someone with their head in the sand, their fingers in their ears and screaming at the top of their lungs like you, will have an excellent mental health.
Everyone loved steam engines huh? Do you even history? - Chugging Through Fears & Terror: The Steam Train Phobia of the 19th Century 🚂💨
