Cool project, but just a side thought I was having about how do people have resources and the money to make things like this and make it avl for public, I mean it's fair to say they have their own GPUs or if they are using api keys for gpt or Gemini with enterprise subsidized inference But still coming from a frugal background I still cannot wrap my head around this

I am unfortunately just paying for this out of pocket! Didn't really expect it to blow up like this.

Thank you for sharing this. Not often do you get projects that expand your imagination about what we can do with these models.

I mean, do you have any hobbies or does every cent you have go to food, rent, and savings, with no frivolities, not even a drink after work or food that isn't rice and beans? Some people play video games or painting or carpentry or what have you. Instead of spending money on alcohol or sports, some people with FAANG-level salaries choose to spend their entertainment budget on GenAI art projects. Not your cup of tea,…

The comment seems less about frivolousness and more about budget.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I decided to test it out myself. Went to the website, typed in "Jeep Wrangler JK engine bay with components labeled" (Since I'm intimately familiar with JK engine bays). Seems like a pretty analogous test to what you did, if anything an even easier test. Let's see what we get .. a very nice looking diagram of a wrangler engine bay with components labeled, looks good. But wait .. - The brake fluid reservoir is on the…

Do we ever simply accept that LLMs weren't made for this kind of detail-oriented work? I can't imagine something like this ever being anything other than a toy which can't be trusted. Will Silicon Valley executives ever accept this reality? If we acquiesce and admit that LLMs are a good tool for prototyping and boilerplate-reduction, but not finished products-- is that when the bubble finally bursts?

I think the unfortunate fact is that most jobs in the world do not require accuracy, so an inaccurate result has a negligible impact over an accurate one.

I used to feel job safety in the knowledge that AI labs weren't likely to solve the hallucination problem. Then it dawned on me that they don't need to — they just need to reduce our collective expectations.

I just asked it to create a torque spec diagram of the suspension for my car, a subject I'm pretty familiar with. It amazingly drew everything correctly, displayed the correct torque figures and allowed me to click on individual components to zoom in further, providing more specs. Genuinely one of the most impressive demos I've tried in a long time. I was able to use it almost like a living version of a classic illus…

I have an old door on the back yard, been planning to make a bike shelter this week so I asked it to make me a plan. It drew a regular shed with an "upcycled door". But no sign of where a bike should fit into it. No bike would ever fit in that thing, and the only structure it showed how to construct didn't resemble the actual finished thing.

Like every other AI demo I've tried ever, impressive on the surface, but the system fundamentally doesn't understand what it is doing

I love this because it articulates so well a precise vision of a world I don’t want to live in.

This is built from the collective works of all humans throughout history who have strived to make infographics, illustrations, and communicate knowledge - with 0 actual credit or reference to them (or financial compensation, if they’re still alive).

Instead, who is making money from this? Google, as providers of the model - and maybe the founders of this product, if they ever choose to monetize it somehow.

I’m not even going to get into how the results it produces have just enough “insight” to appear valid but the moment you inspect it up close, it’s completely wrong in most details, and replete with ornamentation that doesn’t actually add to meaning - a Potemkin village of knowledge - because the common answer to this criticism around here is “just wait 6 months bro the models will definitely solve all those problems”.

(some of the things I’ve tried for reference)

We are not better off investing billions of dollars in computers doing this over paying humans to write and illustrate and make cultural artefacts. We are not better off putting this in the hands of kids rather than meaningfully designed resources & curriculum designed by humans.

What are we even doing.

That’s the biggest problem with the current wave of AI tooling - it’s so easy to make a cool demo all while completely missing the point of what actually is good for human flourishing.
