Let’s play a game of “Fortunately, Unfortunately“. Respond the previous post (the first comment below this post) by replying this post (not the previous post!)

I’ll start with: “I found this website.“

question: what do you think these human-like characters with antennas represent?

imagine being called a freak because you told your teammate not to use AI in your project

since I forgot to tell what I bought on February and April (well, the server is read-only at that time) I’ll tell them here

  • i got peak and there is no game (not the jam edition) on 23 February. i’ve considered other games but this is the only pair i’m willing to buy at that time

  • i got untitled goose game on 17 April. it was on sale back then and i thought it’s thematic after april fools

i didn’t end up playing these a lot, because these are Unity games that have no native Linux support, and proton can’t run them without it randomly freezing. no amount of googling or startpaging brought me close to a solution. i’d like to run them on wine directly but i can’t seem to get the Steam API to work there (and no, i do not wish to circumvent it)

the only time i got to play one of them properly (peak) is when i booted into Windows, but i don’t want to switch OSes every time to play a game

Somehow I forgot I chose to team up with the two nerdiest classmate on my OOP class for our project

Free software? Nonsense. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, fellas.

we have AI class today and we were presenting the projects we’re going to make (using AI of course)

they’re… not half bad, at least in theory

  • one group proposed a classifier of rice diseases (the plants, not the grains). the lecturer and I found this interesting

  • another proposed a dynamic traffic light that decides when to change lights depending on the vehicles the system sees. again we found this interesting, though the lifely risk is definitely more direct and pronounced here.

  • there’s this one group who proposed an assistant for teachers to correct answers and generate questions. I’m okay with correcting answers (at least with moderation) but the question one I’m less comfortable with. I suppose teachers are the least creative jobs ever (though I hope not), so using AI to create (or at least suggest) questions maybe isn’t a bad idea.

  • the group I’m on proposed something related to the distribution of staple food (well, rice in here), but not much I can recall. “their” project is composed entirely from responses of ex-Bard if I’m not mistaken (I bet all of our projects are like that too). apparently it’s a chatbot, which I think makes this the most uninteresting project we have in our class. oh well, I guess I’ll go with the flow for now.

  • finally, this one group proposed a real-time, speech-to-sign language translator for special school students, which is insane given that we’re given just 1 semester to complete this project. the lecturer even asked them to consider replacing this to just recognize the signs instead, because this is a thesis worthy project and not something two undergrads can make.

whatever the project is though, the term AI was thrown out a lot (it’s AI class for crying out loud) so I really need to get used to that. these projects are mostly utilitarian rather than creative, which is why I said they’re fine. however, I still believe there would be some moral issues stemming from them, mostly on data collection and erroneous results.

(oh btw, if you’re asking, this AI class I’m attending pertains to AI in general, not to their subfields like ML or NNs or expert systems. those classes need this class as a prerequisite, so that’s why I’m picking it here. also, it’s a required class so that’s another reason why)
