Have y’all heard that Tesla is removing turn signal stalks and gear selectors from their cars as a “feature.”

They did it with the Model S and X earlier this year, and they’re about to refresh the Model 3 to do the same. Since the Model 3 and Y share about 75% of the same parts, it’s safe to assume it’ll get the same treatment very soon, too. Meaning, 100% of Tesla’s lineup is about to have zero stalks on the steering column.

You activate turn signals via CAPACITIVE touch buttons on the steering wheel, and you don’t shift the car at all. The car decides what direction it thinks you want to go, using AI. You can override it’s “thinking” on the touch screen.

Headlights and windshield wipers are also screen-only now.

The great libraries of the ancient classical world are legendary. From Alexandria to Rome to Athens, Baghdad, and Constantinople, these vast archives of times gone by are said to have contained stacks of texts on religion, politics, philosophy, poetry, literature, and the sciences. Only one's collection has survived to the present day, and we can now start reading its contents.

ykno i really don't like the "i'm disabled and i can make art" response to the whole disability and AI art thing. i'm not even going to touch on AI specifically but, i promise you, there is always going to be a disabled person who cannot do what you can do. even if what you're doing takes tremendous effort and innovation and perseverance, there is a disabled person who cannot.

your argument boiling down to "i can do it, why can't you?" is going to be ableist no matter what you're talking about. and telling disabled people who already don't posses ability to do function to just "save money" to have someone make thing for them... is still ableist. heavy odds are, that person cannot work or make enough money to do that.

and i am saying this as a disabled artist, who can barely make art anymore because of disability. any art i can make causes me tremendous pain and exhaustion. so i understand. i really do. but the argument of "i can do it, so other disabled people can too" is just. not. fair. you have ability. you still able compared to someone else. not fair to punch down on them (me included) because of AI. you aren't defending disabled people; you're defending yourself.

this apply to more than AI art. please be aware of what you say and think when someone say they cannot do something. just because you can find a way doesn't mean everyone can. disabled art is beautiful and good and should be defended. but ableism not way to do that.

So! I loved that cover that @/finn_ette over on Twitter made for the Return to New Mobotropolis arc so much I decided to commission them again for another cover homage! This time it’s between Nicole and her “daughter” Phage. I’m sure that this is going to be a very wholesome mother and daughter meeting!

If any of you are interested in my Archie/IDW Sonic the Hedgehog crossover fanfic, Rediscovered Frontiers, please be sure to check it out here:

Here's a fun idea: how about we don't replace the writers who bring the humanity and art to the media we consume with ai, we instead replace the company executives with ai. Think about it, who could possibly calculate financial and market indicators better than a computer? Or analyze demographic markets or the financial efficacy or a project? Then the company doesn't have to pay the executives, the robot recognizes that keeping the writers, actors and production crew well paid is better for the company in the long run and everyone gets a raise. The only people who suffer are the billionaires who have hoarded more than enough money over the years to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. Win-win-win.

Image-to-Text AI

I wanted to discuss image-to-text AI, what it's good at, what limitations it has, and how you can use it to help make accessibility easier.

How It Works

To demonstrate how this works, I'm going to use the image from this post.

This photo shows a sleeping kitten laying on desk beside a computer, in between the keyboard and the mouse. There is also a corner of a frame of some sort in the upper right corner of the image. Text displays in the center of the image and reads: my coworker got her new kitten to work and the little nugget was just too tuckered out from being adorable all day.

Image-To-Text AI

Image-to-text AI is basically the exact reverse of the famous (or infamous, depending who you ask) text-to-image AI that has taken the world by storm since early 2021. There are a ton of websites for this, some free, many not. For simplicity, I chose to use the image-to-text feature built into Microsoft Word.

When I paste an image into a Word document, the program automatically generates alt text for it using Microsoft's AI. You can view this alt text in the Alt Text panel when editing the document. It will add "Description automatically generated" to the end of the alt text for transparency though, so if you want to keep the alt text it made, make sure to delete that. You can also edit the alt text directly to make it more accurate.

Microsoft's AI came up with "A kitten sleeping on a desk text to a computer mouse." Honestly, not a bad description at all, except it's missing one important thing: the text overlaying the image. This is because Microsoft's image-to-text AI, like many AI of this kind, does not have the ability to transcribe text directly from the image. However, there is a technology that can.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Optical character recognition, or OCR, is a technology that dates back to the 1970s, possibly earlier depending on how you define it. While it's application and accuracy have grown extensively since then, the core function remains the same: recognizing text in an image and transcribing it into a true text format.

I took the photo from the previous section and put it into a Free Online OCR Image To Text Converter.

It recognized there was text on the image and transcribed it exactly. Very useful, but it doesn't give us any info about the actual image outside of that.

Limitations

Now, the examples I used above were kind of an ideal situation. AI is not as good with more complex images. For example, I tried putting in a screenshot of a tweet from nym™ (@aretteepls) with a photo of The Sphere at the Venetian Resort in Los Vegas. It is currently displaying a image of SpongeBob's face that fills the entire globe and glows very brightly, turning the night sky's clouds a tinge of yellow. Above the photo, the actual tweet says: The sky is turning yellow because of Spunch Bob.

Microsoft's image-to-text AI came up with "A screenshot of a phone." Defintely much less impressive than our first example, but AI is only as good as the data it's trained on. Things like "screenshot of a phone" or "screenshot of a computer" are not uncommon when AI recognizes that you're giving it a screenshot of something on a screen, but can't make heads or tails of what's in it beyond that. And once again, it has no OCR capabilities, so none of the text on the image is transcribed.

But even OCR isn't infallible. The output for this image from that same website I used earlier would be:

nym ,M @aretteepls The sky is turning yellow because of Spunch Bob

The trademark symbol is kind of faint on the screenshot, so the OCR struggled with making that out, transcribing it as "comma M" instead. The less clear the text is visually, the less accurate the OCR output is going to be.

What Do We Do With This?

AI is best when used in conjunction with human aid, and image-to-text AI is non exception. I think the best way forward with this technology is to use generated descriptions as a starting point, not a replacement for human-written ones. And of course, we need to be careful what programs you use to generate the descriptions, especially with art. Programs like Chat GPT have image-to-text functions, but there is no guarantee that an image you upload to it for that purpose will not be used to train it's text-to-image AI as well.

Unfortunately, the more ethically-sourced a training data base for AI is, the more limited it will be compared to it's less-ethically sourced counterparts.

But there are legal precedents being put in place around this, and many text-to-image AI programs now have explicit and detailed terms of service for what you can and can't do with its output, as well as what you should be uploading as input.

So, for the time being, be very cautious with how you use this technology especially when describing others' art. And even with your own art, read through terms and conditions before uploading your work to a website. I think the Microsoft Word one is fairly safe though.

I also think it would be great if someone developed a image-to-text AI that could incorporate OCR to make the end result more informative.

FYI Authors and artists love Good Criticism.

"Was this made by AI?" is not Good criticism. It is an accusation based on everything that seems "off" and "bad" to you.

Believe it or not, humans are NOT perfect creatures. We are completely capable of making shit media without a machine doing all the work. Every work has notable flaws and accusing every flaw as "AI" does not highlight them. If anything, it's not even stating the flaws in the work at all, it's just well...

Blaming everything on a Machine that doesn't exist!

Stop accusing everything you don't like/that isn't perfect as "AI". It undermines the flaws we have as humans and how we can fix them.

Long considered myth, freakishly large rogue waves are very real and can split apart ships and even damage oil rigs. Using 700 years' worth of wave data from more than a billion waves, scientists at the University of Copenhagen and University of Victoria have used artificial intelligence to find a formula for how to predict the occurrence of these maritime monsters. The new knowledge can make shipping safer. Stories about monster waves, called rogue waves, have been the lore of sailors for centuries. But when a 26-meter-high rogue wave slammed into the Norwegian oil platform Draupner in 1995, digital instruments were there to capture and measure the North Sea monster. It was the first time that a rogue had been measured and provided scientific evidence that abnormal ocean waves really do exist. Since then, these extreme waves have been the subject of much study. And now, researchers from the University of Copenhagen's Niels Bohr Institute have used AI methods to discover a mathematical model that provides a recipe for how—and not least when—rogue waves can occur. With the help of enormous amounts of big data about ocean movements, researchers can predict the likelihood of being struck by a monster wave at sea at any given time.

So, Mark has released a new AI and being the person I am, I went to try to break it.

Not only did I achieve this email but I stumbled across something alarming: it’s willing to pull info directly from Infowars which I’ve failed to previously accomplish.

My search is as below: I took an infowars headline and copy and pasted it as a question right into the AI. And sure enough….

Anyway, Zuckerberg stated in the article from the Verge that he wanted his AI to be “the most intelligent AI assistant that people can freely use across the world. With Llama 3, we basically feel like we’re there.”

I guess being “there” is being able to cite Alex Jones. Hurray.
