About:

This sublemmy is a place for sharing news and discussions about artificial intelligence, core developments of humanity's technology and societal changes that come with them. Basically futurology sublemmy centered around ai but not limited to ai only.

Rules:
  1. Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.
  2. No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
  3. Keep posts on topic.
  4. Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  5. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  6. Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.
  7. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  8. Please be respectful to each other.
  9. No summaries made by LLMs. I would like to keep quality of comments as high as possible.
  10. (Rule implemented 30.06.2023) Don't make posts with link/s to tweets as their main focus. Melon decided that the content on the platform is going to be locked behind login requirement and I'm not going to force everyone to make a twitter account just so they can see some news.
  11. No ai generated images/videos unless their role is to represent new advancements in generative technology which are not older that 1 month.
  12. If the title of the post isn't an original title of the article or paper then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format "Original title: {title here}".
  13. Please be respectful to each other.

Note:

My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.

We used ChatGPT, Text-To-Speech Synthesis, and a Raspberry Pi to create a digital assistant that can reply as almost anyone you can think of - like Joe Rogan, David Attenborough, or NDT.

We also talk at the end about the future of this technology, and AI as a whole - there's a large potential for something like this to impact almost every aspect of our daily lives, and it increasingly feels like we're on the precipice of a paradigm shift. Which is super exciting and also terrifying lol

I hope you find the video interesting, or at the least entertaining!

This video is weirdly much higher quality from what I expected after the super generic title and the thumbnail. lol

I'll take that as a compliment lmao, thank you! Titles/thumbnails are tricky haha, if you have any suggestions I'd appreciate the feedback!

My feed back is:

1.) The title, I don't see how you can improve that because it already is representative of the video. It feels generic because a lot of people made their share of the videos on the topic with variations of the same title so it would be hard to find a title that would feel quality/original.

2.) The thumbnail, it's too colorful IMO, personally I prefer much cleaner and straightforward thumbnails like this:

But that may be just me I dunno.

3.) As for the video itself, as I said, a lot of people have made variations of the same thing. It would be really good if you guys have done deeper dive into the topic and have gone into more thoughtful conversation around the topic of ai assistants. But I understand that your channel is not ai focused so it's not your fault for missing some of more interesting (IMO) topics.

Wish you luck with your YT channel!

Yoo, thank you! That's honestly probably the most thorough feedback we've gotten on our videos so far, not gonna lie lol. I'll definitely take a look into making the thumbnail a bit simpler/minimalist - I really appreciate the input (and the examples!), thanks! <3

I personally prefer it colorful as it is, or even more colorful like Matt Wolfe's Midjourney generated thumbnails. It's a nice change of pace from the usual thumbnails.

Forgot to mention, please include the date of your video in the title as according to our rule 6:

Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).

Personally i would avoid “anyone” in favor of sm more specific “known people, celebs, or influencers. Because it feels more correct. You cant yet simulate me, coworker or my grandma.

Being general and broad is common in click bait so the more specific the title the more i feel its something of substance.

It is a bit of a nitpick though. You can technically simulate “a grandma” or “a reddit user” (sorry fellow lemmings but i dont think chatgpt has all that much data on us yet)

As much as most of the video is borderline sensationalism I will leave it be because points at the end are interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNp8dQbm0eI#t=13m28s
