Funny, strange, bizarre AI generated images.

Nah, I just downloaded it from the link above..
In my case, actually I didn't even go as far as to download the images, a simple "Copy Image" for the two I posted, and then in my post here I hit "paste", and there ya go....
Interesting and looks like a fun way to kill some time. So how might a luddite such as myself go about getting these ai images? A google search or is ai needed on the computer or cellphone doing the search?

I was using iPad. Whenever i clicked an auction image nothing happened--no dialog box. I'm probably not doing something right. Thanks though for copying them fellas!
Good thing you are wearing gloves so close to the toe...

Hi DesertRatt, When you say clicked, you got me wondering; I don't use an Ipad for my internet excursions, I use a desktop, and to access the utility to copy and paste pics I use the right click on the mouse VS the left click normally used to select stuff on pages & so forth. Can you hover your cursor over some random pic and then do whatever equates to a right click on the Ipad & see what happens?
I'm using a galaxy tablet.. I just hold my finger on the image, and the options pop up..
Like this one..

With the iPad (not using it now) you TOUCH or TAP the picture and a dialog comes up if you are going to be allowed to share it. Nothing happened when I touched the photos on ebay. Anywhere else, I can share them. Not sure why that happened just on ebay. I actually hate the iPad, but having spent the money a couple years ago I'm determined to get some use of it.
I like all the itty-bitty baby tubes

What is the value of any image? What is value in general? Da Vinci’s Salvatore Mundi adds little value to AKs mission, yet many people would spend tens of millions for it. Value is like beauty…
To me, the value is that they point the way to the future.

If the ‘handlers’ told the AI engine that all tubes needed to be in sockets, it wouldn’t make that mistake again. If taught that almost all tube amp chassis are metal, it would correct the faulty assumptions. That’s the intelligence part. We don’t have to instruct it every time, only correct it once (unlike some people I know who need constant correction

To me that sounds like standard computer behavior. Output follows input. I always thought the AI part would be if it figured it out by itself. That's what worries people.If the ‘handlers’ told the AI engine that all tubes needed to be in sockets, it wouldn’t make that mistake again.

It does, but it often gets it wrong due to insufficient training. It took images of tube amps it saw and replicated them. But it never read a book on tube amp construction, so it chose wood for the chassis. Once told that wood isn’t used except by a few diy audio geezers, it would select another material, and rarely select wood again.
No one would claim I’m very intelligent, but I’ve been taught to use minigrabbers when testing energized circuits. Because I know the reason and the impact of not doing this, I can select when to use different test leads for different tasks without external input. Given sufficient training, it can make this kind of decision, too.
One way it’s different than traditional programs is that a traditional program will stop when it hits the boundaries of its code. AI will continue in its activity making decisions based on how it was trained, even if it’s wrong.
You’ve heard the saying that any technology that is sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic? Well, AI ain’t magic and doesn’t claim to be.
I don't think that's how these Large Language AI's work. They work in an opaque way by association of images and descriptions in the training set, not by input of a list of facts or rules. That is their big failing. When "Watson" won on Jeopardy, it totally blew one answer/question involving a clear statement of the country in which a city was located, which logically contradicted the answer Watson gave.If the ‘handlers’ told the AI engine that all tubes needed to be in sockets, it wouldn’t make that mistake again.

Q: What's the value of any image? A: Depends on the intentions of the creator. For example: The famous image of a naked child on fire with napalm gave millions of people around the world a glimpse of the consequences of war that they may never have imagined otherwise. The human condition is expressed through art. And the machine's training is likewise expressed through those images, but my love of humankind doesn't translate into love of transistors and machines.
Q: What is value in general? A: An expression of utility, beauty, or importance to human beings.
As to machines pointing the way to the future, I prefer the vision of my fellow humans.

Right. But what is never mentioned is that the training materials are nothing more than "the entire output of mankind." That output is every bit as irrational as humans are known to be! The output of Man is a mix of lies, guesses, assumptions, opinions, superstitions, biases, fictions, and lies. There is no "World Book of Pure Truth." When the AI digests all of it, the only OUTPUT of that AI will be a rehash of the irrational input because the machine cannot "cross-examine" the creators of the input, and it has no lie detector to be applied to the dead. The exception is subjects specifically bound by the laws of physics, like chemistry, where new chemical compounds will be easy to dream up, even if impossible for man to make.
