#generative

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

Test renderings from an algorithm I wrote to generate mosaics. It came from being unhappy seeing image mosaics that are just pixelations - real roman mosaics used the Opus Vermiculatum style en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_ver , tiling along edges. Roughly, this calculates the best candidate edge points using the Sobel operator, places pairs of light/dark tiles there (slow), then grows remaining tiles from those (fast) using the underlying image colour from the square centres, while trying not to overlap entirely. #creativecoding #generative

I don't want to hijack @jasoncoon's thread[1], so I'll start this one.

I was speculating on the math behind Jason's expanded Fibonacci LED discs. Each LED is at

r = n^exp
θ = 2πn(2 - φ)

For the Fermat spiral in Jason's classic discs, exp = 0.5, so r = sqrt(n). For expanding spirals, exp is larger.

Here[2] is an animation of LED discs where exp varies from 0.5 to 1.0.

#Editors and #writers, are you making sure that there is a distinction made between #generative #artificial #intelligence and non-generative #AI? @karenyin has posted to LinkedIn about the issue: tinyurl.com/mry8uzmm. Be sure to read the article she links to.

tinyurl.comI’m bothered by the lack of distinction between generative AI and non-generative AI (also called traditional machine learning, traditional AI, analytical AI) in nearly all AI coverage and commentary. | Karen YinI’m bothered by the lack of distinction between generative AI and non-generative AI (also called traditional machine learning, traditional AI, analytical AI) in nearly all AI coverage and commentary. Collapsing different types of AI into one term, “AI,” promotes confusion and misinformation about what we really need to pay attention to and be concerned about. When products, for example, are described as “using AI” or “having AI,” it tells me nothing about what is actually being used or whether there are ethical issues involved, e.g., theft of creators’ works by gen AI. Non-gen AI has been around for a while and does not share the same ethical issues as generative AI. To help your readers and those around you understand what you mean, please specify the type of AI or, if the AI combines forms, how gen AI and non-gen AI are used together. Here’s the best explanation that I’ve read of the two main forms of AI: https://lnkd.in/g2SjV2_N. If someone has a better read on this topic, preferably one without a heavy bias toward gen AI, please share. I’m also unsure of the best term for non-gen AI, since “non-gen AI” centers gen AI, so if you use another term, please drop it in the comments. I am still learning the lingo, but I don’t want my lack of knowledge on this subject to prevent me from asking for or offering help. Thank you!

Suno-generated music sickens me. It genuinely makes me feel unwell.

The good thing is that it also spills over onto similar-sounding human-made music – music that didn't make me feel this way before. I used to discard it as harmless and pointless, now I actively dislike it. Thanks, Suno!
