I am the BLK Nerd the creator of Ever Day Man and I am doing my absolute best to build my site. On my site I wish to really two messages:
- The everyday man doesn’t need to adhere to unrealistic standard of the 1% to make it in life.
- One only needs a sound Mind, Body and Soul working in harmony to find success.
With these two messages in mind I set off on the search to have visual representations of the Mind, Body and Souls. The Mind and Body were easy to depict. Images of Albert Einstein, Elon Mush hell even Edward Snowden popped up when search for images depicting the Mind.
Images of the Body were just as easy to find with images like Terry Cruz, Mr. Olymian and Dwayn The Rock Johnson folding my search feed.
Yet when it comes to selecting a photo for the soul I found myself in two conundrums. The first I couldn’t describe the search parameters to find out what a soul looks like. It felt like I was trying to describe a color to someone without using the name of the color, or pointing to the color. Second what ever images did come up looked like it was supposed to be a logo of a yoga studio, not really the idea I am trying to relay.
So I went to thinking outside the box, I’ll have someone make me a picture of a soul, even better I’ll have an AI make me one so it will be free. I thought I was on to something with AI generated photo. I asked the AI to generate me a picture of the soul of a good man fighting the souls of a bad man. The cover photo is one of these pictures showing the conflict
The AI never generated something I liked so I changed the request. I asked for it to generate me a picture of a good person.
Next I ask for a bad soul, and then my heart turned….
No matter how a look at this picture this is a black man. So I immediately went to an AI Chat to get some answers.
My conversations with an AI Chat Bot:
-Start
BLK Nerd: Where do you get your information from?
AI Chat Bot: As an AI language model, my responses are generated based on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available data. I have not been designed to have direct access to specific sources or the ability to browse the internet. Instead, I have been trained on a vast amount of text from books, articles, websites, and other written sources to develop a broad understanding of human language. It’s important to note that while I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, my responses may not always reflect the most current news events or developments.
BLK Nerd: Do AI’s that make pictures gather information the same way you do?
AI Chat Bot: No, AI models that generate pictures, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs), do not gather information in the same way that I do. These AI models primarily learn from existing visual data, such as images and videos, to create new images based on patterns and styles they have observed during training.
GANs involve a two-part system: a generator and a discriminator. The generator creates new images, while the discriminator assesses the generated images against real images to provide feedback for improvement. The models are trained on large datasets of images, which could include photographs, artworks, or other visual sources.
It’s important to note that GANs do not have inherent knowledge or understanding of the content depicted in the images they generate. They learn to replicate patterns and features observed in the training dataset without comprehending the semantic meaning behind the visuals.
BLK Nerd: So in both instances you both use the internet to collect data
AI Chat Bot: Yes, both AI models and I can utilize the internet as a source of information to gather data. However, there are some differences in how we access and interpret that data.
As an AI language model, I have been trained on a diverse range of internet text sources to understand and provide information on a wide variety of topics. When you ask me a question, I search through my pre-existing knowledge base to provide you with relevant information.
On the other hand, AI models that generate pictures like GANs typically learn from large datasets of images rather than directly accessing the internet. These datasets can be sourced from various online platforms, including image repositories, social media, or other visual databases. They analyze and learn from the patterns and styles present in these datasets to generate new images.
It’s important to note that while both AI models and I can use the internet as a source of information, our methods and purposes for accessing and interpreting that data differ.
BLK Nerd: Can you please describe what you think a bad soul looks like?
AI Chat Bot: As an AI language model, I don’t possess personal beliefs, thoughts, or opinions. Additionally, the concept of a “bad soul” is subjective and can vary depending on different cultural, religious, or philosophical perspectives. It is not within my capacity to make moral judgments or define what a soul looks like, as the nature of souls is often a matter of individual beliefs and interpretations. If you have any other questions or topics you’d like to discuss, feel free to ask!
-END
Conclusion:
I can not blame an A.I. which only forms answers based on the vast amount of data that is available in the world. I have to assume this conclusion the A.I made is based on the views throughout the world. So the only question is how do you change the world?
