Love your discourse and you know you have a golden voice. Very interesting. Great job on the Cyborg logo. I am less than a week at Leonardo AI. Quick funny story. 1st night I did some really good stuff with Leonardo AI, real rudimentary stuff. Bust so I missed a day. I come back and I don't know where to go. I forgot the name so the name I remembered was Stable Diffusion. So I go there, and the man you talk about revolting. I'm sitting there thinking this was before, what happened? Naturally got frustrated and left. So, next on the intetnet route I see the people of the arts and there is a great lesson on Leonardo AI. Boom it hits me, you were supposed to be at Leonardo AI. I can't tell you how relieved I was. So, I am just starting out on the A journey and people like you here on the net are important, I think, especially important to me. I'm so lucky when I find a scholarly fellow such as yourself. thank you for making the content and sharing. I am grateful. As a gift, I just finished watching a video on AI that not only will make your website and do it for and not only that, it will host it also. HoocCoos AI & Pineapple AI. In case, you wanted to run some of those hundreds of contents on the net for feedback or something. I think these rights might be very useful. Take care.
@@classicdetective Yes. I am privy to special instructs and have created my own prompts and have produced what I believe is totally satisfying art in Leonardo. I am not well versed, so I am sticking to a procedure I know now, but there is much to learn. Learn it and become proficient, but if you didn't understand what I said. You don't have to know it all you can still use it. Now, my recommendation is if you can afford it, join. You get 150 tokens per session, if you use them up, you are done for that session on the free program, however, you get replenished in 4 hours. I believe if you join you do not have limits on what you can do. It's different than Midjourney, I will join them later, but Leonardo AI is pretty cool. You join the same way a Midjourney, apply and they send you a note you're in. I think mine took a day. I say yes, jump in and do your thing. Have some fun. Right now I'm loving it so I'll be there for a little while. OK? Go for it.
I had a quick play with it before watching this. Asking ChatGPT to produce a MR James style story (added some other details). It was very basic since it was the free version, but impressive.
Certainly now and I don't see it happening in our era, is that AI will not replace writers and designers, and artists, it is simply another tool to help them, including a deep well of information, research and reference material. Why? Because AI does not have a spontaneous inspirational creative imagination. It still takes an actual person to feed or give the AI the spontaneous inspiration from 'our' unique complex creative imagination to produce the story and images and animations; but, what the AI presents will and does spark our spontaneous inspirational imagination and gives us ideas to expand on. There are no other creatures we know of in our realm of existence, biological or biochemical or biotechnical that has spontaneous complex creative imagination, able to ponder, postulate, hypothesise, theorise, or contemplate the way we can. It, A.I., needs us for the 'idea', even the idea to just write a story. AI will not just spontaneously write a story, you have to tell it to, give it the idea, even if you just simply say, "Write a story". There's a book I've heard of in the works, coming out soon hopefully, 'Om and the Argentriol, that explains this in more detail. On the flip side, what we should be wary of is those people that will and are already using AI to subjugate, oppress, and control for their own egocentric agendas. Chat GPT seems like a good AI program which I'll give a try, but I find Midjourney, which I've used, cumbersome, awkward, and too complex for the average user. There are much better user-friendly programs of this style than Midjourney, such as Adobe Firelfy, Dream, and of course, the one you mentioned, Tony, Nightcafe.
I haven't finished watching yet but some ideas on ways to improve the voice cloning (maybe you've tried these already). Record separate samples, one for dialogue where you use a lot of inflection, and one for general narration. This might help the cloned voice to sound more animated and "human" for dialogue and set the dialogue apart from the narration. Edit these back in after. More work, I know but may get the best result. The main issue with voice cloning I thing is the slight but very noticeable mechanized quality it has. A bit of a grating sound at the very bottom which is a constant reminder that it's a cloned voice. I imagine this will be corrected within a short period of time. After that we will be unable to distinguish real from cloned.
I agree with most of what’s said in this vid but for people trying to not use AI as a tool but just have it create for them I think can be very damaging to a lot of industries. It’s not the same as the camera or even photoshop honestly. There isn’t really much skill to using ai at least not at the base level and I don’t think it’s bad to use but when people just have ai create for them and they turn around and call themselves an artist is pretty crazy tbh. AI is a tool that should be used to advance your already had skill
I'm now using chat gpt to make story about brothers ed and elon the leader of an evil organisation that make world in war just to get a parasite that turn people into immortal zombie.
I have very mixed feelings about the role AI is set to play. Some general concerns are that it’s going to make it much easier for bad people to fake, mimic, intentionally misinform and spread convincing misinformation. It will make us unsure of the ‘truth’ of so much of what we read. This freaks me out, especially when I see the febrile, polarised state of the world. So I admit I come to this with a certain hostility to AI. I found it interesting watching you work with it really interesting all the same. It did strike me that it’s actually just another tool and the better we are at using it intelligently and imaginatively, the better and more original our results will be. Then I got disturbed because you seemed to be treating it as a person lol. Anyway I’m an analogue person with Luddite tendencies - I still think thesauri are amazing, but despite all that I’m very interested in seeing where it goes and how the program interacts with your ideas. It’s something I could imagine maybe trying out, despite my many misgivings.
Hello Francesca. I fear it's coming now no matter whether we welcome it or not. I've always been interested in these kind of things. I wanted to go to Mars when I was a kid... It will change the world, no doubt about that. Let's hope it's for good, though it probably will be mixed.
It seems I've been selected for a chatgpt research p[rolect so I am able to get in easily with the free version. The irony is that I normally open it late at night when the demand is not so high.
in 8:47 you say ichatgpt makes it seem like it is thinking while it has the result instantly. THIS IS WRONG - Chatgpt is essentially a gigantic mathematical engine that calculates the net "token" (mostly a word, or a symbol, but it can be a single number of character when there is no larger token) in an iterative process. So, yes, it IS Thinking - there is just not enough calculating power for it to be faster at the moment. It "technically" completes a sentence, word by word.
I suppose what I mean by thinking, is reflecting rather than computing. It can 'compute' in that can process data like Searle's Chinese Room, but it can't reflect and know that it knows.
I haven't found a way to write a book with it. Every time, I give it an instruction, it always adds some crap to it that has nothing to do with the story.
What do U find more interesting as a Project: a novel written by Chat gpt with you as a prompt Generator only, or a collaborative Work with you and Chat gpt as a Kind of co writer? Which approach ist more interesting and which will lead to better Results?

Wonderful, just wonderful. I love open minded people. There is no stopping freedom to choose what one wants ❤

Good plan. I uploaded a load of voice samples of me, but they were all of me reading stories, not speaking colloquially so it sounded too staged
your voice reminds me of the character Ethan Rayne from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I’ll take that as a compliment:)

Definitely ChatGPT as co-writer working to super prompts. But iterated and finally edited by a human.
Is this ChatGPT4?
I have transitioned over to GPT 4

the only problem is that ai writing can be easily detected. Also it is very sterile
