I think there's real value to be had in using this for diagrams. Visual explanations are useful, but most people don't have the talent and/or the time to produce them. This new model (and Nano Banana Pro before it) has tipped across the quality boundary where it actually can produce a visual explanation that moves beyond space-filling slop and helps people understand a concept. I've never used an AI-generated image i…

Are there any models that are specifically trained to produce diagrams as SVG? I'd much prefer that to diffusion-based raster image generation models for a few reasons: - The usual advantages of vector graphics: resolution-independence, zoom without jagged edges, etc. - As a consequence of the above, vector graphics (particularly SVG) can more easily be converted to useful tactile graphics for blind people. - Vector…

You can get them to produce mermaid diagrams, but you can also generate these yourself from text.

A startling number of people either have no arms, one arm, a half of an arm, or a shrunken arm; how odd!

To be fair, the average person has fewer than two arms.

Are camera manufacturers working on signed images? That seems like the only way our trust in any digital media doesn't collapse entirely.

Signed images don’t get you much. You can just hardwire the image sensor to a computer and sign raw pixels.

How can AI be the amazing thing you say it is, but also too stupid to understand unless you get really good at communicating. Wouldn't better AI just mean it understands your ramblings better?

It's fine if the "rambling" is logically coherent. So the communication ability isn't really about expressing your thoughts eloquently, but just effectively and clearly. Run on sentences and train of thought is fine as long as you are saying something meaningful. But no AI will be able to read your mind and know exactly what you mean by "make really cool looking website, not lame please, also nice colors, not boring". Declarative programming through natural language will become incredibly powerful.

This is where I’m at. If you can’t be bothered to write/make it, why would I be bothered to read or review it?

Because I'm not an artist and can't afford to pay one for whatever business I have? This idea that only experts are allowed to do things is just crazy to me. A band poster doesn't have to be a labor of love artisanal thing. Were you mad when people made band posters with MS word instead of hiring a fucking typesetter? I just don't get it.

No one is saying that only experts can do things; that's a totally inaccurate reading of the argument and the post.

People are saying, very clearly, that they're not willing to put effort into something produced by someone who put no effort in.

Many humans are great at their expertise but bad at communicating. How?
