/qa/'s thoughts on AI Anonymous 11/28/22 (Mon) 07:14:10 No.100268 [Reply][Last50 Posts]

There's two threads on /qa/ for different AI generation content and help. A thread on the morality and ethics of AI. One about the future potential AI holds. One on >>>/megu/ for more in-depth help with specifics. Then scattered about across all the boards some threads using AI generation for image openers and such. However, none of these actually encompass kissu's opinion on AI!

So, what do you /qa/eers think of AI currently? Do you like it, dislike it, find it useful in any meaningful way at all? Or are you simply not interested in the output of algorithms?

I myself find AI to be a useful tool in generating the kind of content I've either exhausted the available stock of or are gated off by some hurdle I need to spend more time overcoming. When it comes to text/story generation, it's like a CYOA playground where I play the role of DM and set up all the lore/situations/characters, and then the AI acts out events as I lay out the flow of the story. This creates a more interactive experience for me than just writing out a story myself for some reason, and I find it highly addictive. Then for AI art generation, I find that AI works wonders for filling a specific niche taste I have, or specific scenario I want to create an image for. It really is quite amazing in my eyes, and I have hopes for it getting even better in the future.

While learning JP to read VNs/Manga and watch anime in harmony is that what I post while doing so will be inaccessible to a fair bit of people. So seeing the advancements of AI in making translation more real time and convenient makes me happy and hopeful that we'll have on the fly OCR translations in the future people that don't know jp can use.

Yeah, "live" OCR stuff is nothing new and people have been doing it for nearly a decade now, but having far faster stuff that's also a bit better (but still not great, contextual language and all that stuff) is really quite amazing. I didn't stop the Nosuri playthrough I was doing because of the translation, but because of the font being unreadable with OCR...
Well, maybe AI OCR stuff will progress, too. I don't think I could get away with sending GPT4-O thousands of screenshots without paying

I like the AI/live-OCR stuff but I worry about people using it to churn out lazy translations they don't bother to check. We're already seeing a lot of that and now some companies are trying to cash-in.

But I think it would be a very valuable tool for learning a second language. As long as it doesn't teach you bad habits. What I'm really looking forward to is live-speech translation improving. Picking up kana and some basic kanji didn't take me that long. But learning how to speak like a native speaker and being able to understand a native speaker are a very different matter. Especially when you do not have access to one IRL to practice with. Even then they're usually speaking slow and not teaching you certain words and concepts (like internet slang). No Japanese teacher in an institution of learning is going to cover subjects like common otaku slang or curse words.

Then there is the issue of dialects. You could spend years learning one dialect and be totally unable to understand someone speaking the language in a dialect common just 1 hour outside of the major cities. The main barrier I had learning how to speak basic Japanese was the fact that our teacher couldn't understand our local English dialect well and we could barely understand her Engrish. Every lesson was incredibly frustrating especially with a class room of idiots making fun of her daily.

Train was pretty good. Anime originals always deserve recognition and this one had a nice episodic adventure thing like Kino. The short girl and brown girl carried the show, but the chubby one was nice when she had that one episode to actually do something. Good visuals and the usage of 3D complimented it quite well, especially the "first person" angles from the train.
Fun stuff.

Greetings. Not sure if anyone here is watching Blue Archive the Animation but my friend is a big fan. He noticed no one had released good subtitles/English translation for the last episode yet. The group that was doing it fell off the map last week. He translated the episode and released the scripts a couple of days ago. He was trying to get me into the series last night (gonna check it out soon). Long story short we released episode 12 with a decent translation last night.

Thanks to the kind anon that uploaded the .torrent to nyaa for us. You can also grab it from our XDCC bot if you prefer direct download.

Four of us got together and QCed it. I took the time to add chapters since the episode doesn't have a proper OP/ED. No one else seemed to bother doing that with their releases. It uses Eari-raws as a source.

If there is enough interest we might do a proper BD batch. My friend has already ordered all of the BDs and should be getting them in from Japan as soon as they start shipping. At the very least we'll rip them for others to share/encode.

I'm pretty sure someone from kissu helped get this up on nyaa so thanks to whomever you were. Will try to get more proactive about other stuff. Life has gotten busy lately.

I finally got a chance to get through the first 6 episodes of this a couple of days ago. I really like it so far and I think the use of 3D was well done. The zombie episode was good stuff. I'm looking forward to finishing it whenever I find another 3-4 hours to zone out in front of the TV.

I haven't really gotten to watch anything from the Spring season yet. So I'm not sure how it compares to anything else that aired. But this one is probably going to be my favorite from this season for sure. I love the plot and animation. I really like the concept of the entire world going to shit because of the 7G network. Plus zombies that explode when they see pantsu is something I just can't not like.

I love shows like this. I too am also a fan of anime originals. I like shows that aren't tied down by a manga/VN/LN. That way I have no idea what I'm getting going into things. As much as I love to see a manga adapted it kind of sucks when you know most of the story going in and are constantly comparing it to what you've already read.

It doesn't matter what they do when they're just a featureless blob of copies. Everything about their generic, doll-like appearance tells us not to value them at all since the universe itself says they're not important or useful. So, the first step would be to humanize them by giving them identifiable visual traits, but that's a whole lot of work.
I think Konosuba is noteworthy in this way. It still has faceless knights and such, but the guild often features individuals instead of copy-paste nonsense. Because of this, events like pic-related make it seem much more meaningful.

But in settings like Kimetsu or Kaijuu 8 the setting tells us that all of these rank-and-file soldiers are skilled enough to go through the same trials the main characters did and have more experience than them, at least at first. Designs are a meta factor for helping the audience know who they should remember, they imply relevance to the story, not competency.

shonen series are not good stories, they're good explorations in character growth, but never worldbuilding and plot

Anonymous 06/10/24 (Mon) 06:37:02 No.126719

Typically, the MC has some special divine ability that separates him from everyone else in-world. So you can make your background characters strong in the usual human ways while only making them appear weak to the MC and whomever the MC is fighting at that time.

It isn't hard to write strong background characters. But most people skip on the world building now. Since it takes up far more runtime and words to flesh out background character details.

I do appreciate studios that don't copy/paste background characters and at least put some effort into them. The first couple of shows that started not to bother and use blobs/cut outs were funny. But it got much less funny as time went on.

Lately I've been trying to spot a male background character in MahoAko thinking they might have hidden one somewhere as a joke. I thought I found a couple. But on closer inspection all of them turned out to be lesbians.

Avoiding the Redshirt concept (point 1) and screentime (point 2).
The Redshirt concept is that the characters are disposable and are there just to die. Not to say you can't have them die, but give their purpose something more before dying. Their actions and subsequent deaths push the plot along, maybe they sacrificed themselves to buy the heros time for example. Or for a more in depth example: a group of knights storm the walls while the main characters are sneaking in through tunnels. Many of them die but they succeed and the result has a knock on effect that aids the main characters, then at the end we see what remains of the mobs they had a brief interaction with earlier. While they were never the focus and we only see the before and after, it still gives us a glimpse of a wider world even if we were focused on the main characters.

Mobs are either dressing for a scene or at best they're minor characters that show up once or twice that interact with the main characters, but that's not to say they're unimportant. Their job is to do things the main characters cant do and support/hinder them in the grand scheme of things. The main characters cant exist in a vacuum and thus need mobs to hold up their share of the story, the background cast and extras exist to give contrast to the main characters and give the world some semblance of life and potential stakes to care about.

As for importance, I assume you mean to the story. The actual power of the main characters and mobs are irrelevant, what matters is how their interactions and screentime affect the story told around the main characters.

you will be the directors of the feared imouto rescue squad. A highschool club of imoutos that use fearsome weapons and tactics to rescue kidnapped onii-chans, wherever they are in the world...

the rules I will be using are Osprey - Black Ops.
It's the most fun rules that allows for stealth, and action gameplay and feels to me like the best simulation of small unit tactics that you can easily DM for

I've uploaded the rules for your enjoyment, but I will be adjusting the rules a bit to make the game work better. Don't worry about it too much....

MISSION END!!!!

The hostage is the last living biohuman left in the compound. Miko pulls him out from under the toyota and efficiently checks him over for wounds. She sits Nya in the passenger seat on onii-chans lap, and instructs him to hold pressure on her wound

Kiri is wrapped in a tarp in the back seat

The girls managed to complete the mission before Nya died. And before the militia reinforcements arrived.

The c-130 from operation eagle claw meets them in another clearing. Blasting rocket engines to roll to a halt, while club members usher the technical onboard. It's quickly taking off into the air in less than a minute

Possibly true, but it's very basic stuff.
Hori hori knives seem more like a 'maintenance' tool whereas specialty stuff is used when you need to do a bunch of it in a row. Something like a tool for playing seeds seems quite extravagant unless it's your job. People really seem to swear by these things so I guess I'll see if I feel the same way.

Every now and then people like to talk about future human evolution, that humans hundreds of thousands and millions of years from now humanity may be a completely new species that does not resemble a modern human any longer. Do you think so?

Personally, I'm inclined to believe that evolution is like language. When there is a strong social fabric connecting one person and community to the next, languages evolve very slowly. When that cohesion breaks down, languages tend to diverge and evolve. I think evolution is probably something like that, and within our broader interconnected world, humanity will probably evolve more slowly together and so maybe that human born hundreds of thousands and millions of years from now will resemble us much more than others like to suggest.

From what I understand, sleep serves a few functions, that we know of. First is detoxification. While you're awake, toxins build up in the brain, and restful sleep allows the body to detoxify the brain. The second is memory consolation. It seems that during sleep our brains essentially go through a categorization process where things that happened during the day that were in your "medium-length" memory get turned into long-term memories. Third is healing. Wheen you sleep your body releases hormones that allows for you to heal.

I'm pretty sure those are the main reasons. I'm just a layman though.

There is also a more indirect reason for sleep: Nights.
It's just energy-efficient to go into a energy-saving mode in a time when it's cold and dark and it's difficult to spot the resources you want, or avoid the predators to whom you are the resource.

Because there has never been a random mutation in our evolutionary line that allowed someone to survive without sleep, or if there were that person was unable to pass those mutations on long-term.

wonder how it looks literally in space and not as a shadow

No atmospheric effects without an atmosphere.

I don't think it would work. If you were in space between the Moon and the Earth, the Moon would take up more of your field of vision so you wouldn't see the Sun's corona like you can from Earth. You'd still be able to see the partial eclipse happening though. The type of orbit matters, however. You would have to be in a geostationary orbit, orbiting the Earth at the same rate that it spins, for the eclipse to happen at the same time as it does on Earth. Otherwise you could probably observe the Moon eclipsing the Sun pretty often. The Internation Space Station, which is in low Earth orbit, for instance, makes 16 orbits around the Earth every 24 hours.

If you are going to space for an eclipse, there is no reason why you should have to stay between the Earth and the moon. All that is required is that you find a circular body that you can use to just obscure the sun with, (meaning you need to be the right distance from that body).
That could be the moon, it could also be Earth itself.

I could have sworn I read that somewhere, but maybe I'm remembering it wrong. Maybe it's just my assumption that humanoid robots and their inefficiencies are designed for interacting with people.

Their walking dog robot is very liked in manual labor for inspections. I figure they're looking to expand products for existing customers.

I think most of what I read supports that general idea of robots being used in situations that could kill someone

I think I read a mechanic's blog where soldiers were coming up to him and begging him to save their robo-dog. "Please sir! He saved my life!"

Looking forward to robots getting extended human rights long before they achieve sentience.

You're thinking of Honda's Asimo, I think. It would appear Boston Dynamics is actually owned by Hyundai, though.

>Boston Dynamics is owned by some Japanese company (Toyota or something) and they want to make bots to assist the elderly
wasnt there a video going around of the robots mimicking a loading a rocket launcher movement?
