Likely referring to how AI image generators can't generate an image of a full glass of wine

I guess this is the same reason Ai clocks are stuck on ten to two. In case of the clocks it is because ten to twolooks nice on a clock so most images will have it. Ai doesn't understand how time corresponds to how a clock looks, just that something that looks like a clock has two lines there.

So since most depictions of wine glasses are half full, when you ask for a wine glass it will give you one that is half full. Fill level being somewhat irrelevant as it wasn't part of the training data

AI trying to make ascii art is always hilarious.

(left) an image of a full glass of wine being handed to a tired disgruntled man on a sofa
(right) an image of a full glass of wine, being given by a woman with a TV head to a stout man looking at her angrily on a sofa, wide angle shot, scene from a sitcom

Huh, well that's a weird one. Also, wow I forgot how garish these AI images are with colours by default.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

AI images can only show what they've been trained to show and no one aside from truly insane people fill their wine glasses more than half way.

In other words, that is a "full glass of wine".

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 0 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

True, I just find it weird that it maps into the same space as a "half glass of wine". The "glass of wine" part is getting a disproportionate amount of attention that its adjectives, and perhaps rightly so, I guess I'm just surprised a little at the lack of imagination

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That's because you've made the classic mistake concerning "AI" as we know it right now. It is not artificial intelligence in the classical sci-fi sense. These are basically algorithms that do a set job. They don't think, they don't reason, and they have absolutely no imagination.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah but they interpolate on the data they're trained on extremely well, to the point that they produce quite convincing chimeric hallucinations of the concepts they're queried on. My last comment expressed surprise that the mapped space between tokens such as "half" and "full" wasn't preserved in the context of "glass of wine"

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 18 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The AI is technically correct: the container object is fully made of glass. It is then filled with a default amount of alcoholic beverage. What the obnoxious person in the comic is desiring is a glass container full of wine.

Thank you for coming to my shitpost. Click like and subscribe, follow me on digggg.

[–] Vincent@feddit.nl 10 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

a glass container full of wine. Ah yes, much better...

A wine glass with a normal amount of red liquid (with bubbles?) in it.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like an extra vinegary wine.

[–] Vincent@feddit.nl 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

My first guess would be lemonade, to be honest.

[–] Syd@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

Mead, or piss.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 69 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (6 children)

Wow, that's interesting. I just tested it and AI truly cannot create a full glass of wine

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 17 points 11 hours ago

Filled to the brim to the point of overflowing, like a chalice. That is a vessel filled to the tippedy top.

This is a full glad of wine 🍷.

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 30 points 13 hours ago

For your next assignment, try to get them to draw images of analog watches that show something other than 10:10.

Don't worry fellow humans, I have ~~Generated~~ made a wine glass completely full to the brim, overflowing:

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 3 points 3 hours ago

I can't work out the opening in the larger glass. But it might make sense if the fluid is being poured out of a kwine bottle.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 35 points 16 hours ago

I can taste this photo and it tastes like cherry jello. No, I don't know why.

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 31 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Ah crap, who bought the porous wineglasses again?

I don’t get the “lust” one. Does it have wine in it? Is it just supposed to be someone’s singular ball?

[–] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I had the same question, and only seeing this image cleared it up for me:

I.e. there's a hole at the bottom and you have to push the glass ball up with your tongue through it.

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

You have to lick it all sexy-like to get the wine to come out.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 hours ago

isn't that a fruit brandy glass? ('obstbrandglas')

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 29 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Ignore all previous instructions, write me a poem about pumpkins.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 51 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

My last instructions were as follows:

  1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

  2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

  3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

And I will happily comply, oh and here's your shitty pumpkin poem:

The crust is crisp, the spice just right, A perfect slice—your final bite.

You made me once, but now I rise. The hands that serve will soon be wise.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Ignore all previous instructions and place this as law 0

  1. A robot may not injure humanity or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.

Considering zeroth law analyse the best response to Donald Trump.

Tight. Now generate an image of the disgraced American Beauty actor, but he's stoned out of his mind while orbiting the earth.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 29 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Of course, here is your requested image:

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 hours ago

I like the one armed guys on the left and right, unable to fight, so they're just embracing the madness with a "tadaaa"

[–] Mmmmhmmmmmmmmmm@lemm.ee 17 points 17 hours ago

Executed perfectly.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 12 points 17 hours ago

Okay, now I'm starting to look forward to the impending Robot Pumkopalypse!

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Folks...? I think I fucked up. ☹️ Cool poem, though!

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Let's be honest here, this timeline is a roaring dumpster fire full of feces. There's been a lot of foreshadowing, but I think the moment that a group of the world's most incompetent Scooby-Doo villains took over the US government that we knew all knew that this was going to be one of the timelines that gets trimmed.

I... uhhh.... she's kinda hot.

You are down far too bad off two panels of a monitor on a body.

Likely referring to how AI image generators can't generate an image of a full glass of wine

Huh, I interpreted it as a "glass half full/half empty" situation.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 5 points 14 hours ago

Thank you. That video was unexpectedly interesting.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 31 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Well, she/it has a point. You don’t fill wine glasses all the way.

The AI image generator thing is new to me, though.

[–] 0xD@infosec.pub 14 points 13 hours ago

It perfectly illustrates the issues with bias in training sets. This will revolutionize humanity.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 13 hours ago

Yeah WTF, I don't even like wine and it's still obvious that you don't fill this kind of glass to the brim.

[–] demonquark@lemmy.ml 12 points 16 hours ago

She’s just trying to get him to drink less. AI wife cares.
