AI is going too fast for me. Do we still need to learn to draw?


Recommended Posts

I was a bit bored and wondered if Copilot could draw me a photo of Mikey Mouse standing in front of Disney's California Adventure with a sign that read "Big mistake" or "We tried!" and got rejected.  Strangely enough it would let me ceate a photo of Mickey driving a Model 3 but couldn't add Elon because they will not manipulate an image of an actual person, so it was a big no go on uploading a photo of myself and asking to be better looking, but I did have some fun.

After the Disneyland Main Street Electrical, I always wondered what a Barroque Hoedown was, and well pretty impressive:download(1)2.thumb.jpeg.aa2c0279378ce431cbd2761a1abcbd47.jpeg

But I wanted something more amusement parkey so I asked for a Barroque Hoedown Roller Coaster, and not bad at all:

Now, we had to get Mickey in his Tesla Model 3 or Van Gogh's interpretation of a Disneyland Paddlewheel Boat:

Graphic designers and writers are going to be some of the first to be fucked by this. People who ghost write and do similar small scale tech jobs on the side are going to be out of work before they know it.

 

Tip of the iceberg.

Given that humans have evolved from inventing the wheel to watching the Kardashians in thousands of years while computers have gone within 100 years from simple addition to creating a new Van Gogh painting in about a minute lets us know who if winning in the game of evolution.  When AI answered that they would only take the routine jobs from us; what will not be routine to something smarter and quicker than us in 95% of jobs within the next 5 to 15 years?  AI could be nice to us but the programers created it to save money through productivity increases/layoffs.

Yeah. The most scary part to me is that it's a private sector arms race at this time to see who can make the best programs the fastest, without thinking about the consequences. God only knows haw fast governments are moving on it.

This will be ether a spectacular success, or failure catastrophic to all of us who have absolutely no say so. I'm not a fan of government regulation, but I feel the need for some kind of intervention.

Everyone is so concerned with us vs. them social issues right now that most people I talk to have absolutely no idea this is all happening. (by design?) Those most influential with AI claim it will be immeasurably more significant than the industrial revolution, and it will happen much faster than anyone will see coming.

On the bright side of AI there is DALL·E that helped me with Monet inspired Disney / Paris / Olympics wallpapers for my phone and laptop.  Thanks for public  domain :-)  I don't understand if AI knows the differnce in table top designs in a cafe?  Round vs square???  A couch in a restaurant? Still better than I could draw.

Why not just ask the source? I asked ChatGPT5, "How will artificial intelligence (AI) be able to assist with roller coaster designing and engineering?"

Quote

Design Optimization: AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data and simulations to optimize roller coaster designs. They can consider factors such as ride smoothness, excitement levels (based on g-forces and speed), and structural integrity to suggest design improvements.

Simulation and Testing: AI can run complex simulations to predict how different design variations will perform under various conditions (e.g., different weather scenarios, rider weights). This helps in identifying potential issues early in the design phase and refining designs without physical prototyping.

Material Selection and Structural Analysis: AI can recommend optimal materials based on desired ride characteristics and structural requirements. It can also perform detailed structural analysis to ensure safety and durability.

Predictive Maintenance: Using machine learning, AI can predict maintenance needs based on real-time data from sensors embedded in roller coasters. This proactive approach helps prevent breakdowns and ensures safety.

Crowd Flow Optimization: AI algorithms can analyze visitor data and predict crowd flows within amusement parks, helping designers optimize queue layouts and improve overall visitor experience.

Environmental Considerations: AI can assess environmental impacts of roller coaster designs, such as noise levels and visual impact, and suggest mitigations.

Regulatory Compliance: AI can help ensure roller coasters comply with safety standards and regulations by analyzing designs against established guidelines and requirements.

Real-time Adjustments: AI can adjust ride parameters in real-time based on factors like weather conditions or operational data, ensuring optimal performance and safety throughout the day.

Personalized Rider Experiences: AI can personalize rider experiences by adjusting ride elements (such as speed or intensity) based on rider preferences gathered through wearable devices or surveys.

Collaborative Design Tools: AI-powered tools can facilitate collaboration among designers, engineers, and stakeholders by providing real-time feedback and automating routine tasks, allowing teams to focus on creative and strategic decisions.

Overall, AI's capabilities in data analysis, simulation, optimization, and real-time adaptation make it a powerful tool in advancing roller coaster designing and engineering, enhancing both safety and rider experience.

Quote

While ChatGPT itself would not replace specialized engineering knowledge and tools, it could serve as a valuable assistant in the iterative and creative aspects of roller coaster design and engineering, potentially saving time and broadening the exploration of design possibilities.

I got this last little bit when I first asked, "How will ChatGPT5 be able to assist with roller coaster designing and engineering?" 

We'll be the assistants.

Quote

ChatGPT:

As of my last update in January 2022, Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M), a renowned roller coaster design and manufacturing company based in Switzerland, employed a team of around 100 engineers. For the most current and precise number, checking their official website or recent company reports would be advisable.

Are they really going to need 100 engineers after AI can do calculations that took people months to do in a matter of seconds? People say that's not possible, because we have to check and make sure AI isn't making mistakes. But, what if you have two separate AI programs double checking each other? Isn't that called a safety redundancy? Aren't safety redundancies pretty common in the industry?

It's dollars and cents. People will lose their current jobs. The optimist on my shoulder reminds me of the mass fear of job shortages when computers took over basic functions completed by humans. However, the tech boom actually created jobs. The pessimist on my other shoulder says the masses will be on universal basic income within the next ten years, because they won't have a damn thing to do.

If you're not following the AI boom, do it. If you have the availability to get involved in AI integration at your current positions at work, do it now. Be part of it, not a victim of it. If your job and only skill is data entry, you should probably enroll in trade school to be a plumber or electrician. Those jobs will be harder to replace... and the country needs a lot more of them in the immediacy.

On a somewhat related personal level... I'd scrap my hard earned degree in a heartbeat in order to wire new buildings and not worry about a fucking thing once I clocked out. Pay cut be damned. There would be no emails to check, text message inquiries on my days off, court standby, or calls at 2:30 AM to put on my shit and come in, because someone just got deaded.

Here's to the AI boom. Cheers.

I watched something on my Youtube feed that talked about the rapid expansion of fast food restaurants using robotics combined with AI to cook food. It seems to be particularly useful for frying. The outcome has already been cheaper and more efficient than hiring an employee.

The machines can be leased with maintenance packages and offer various different options.  They don't show up late for work. They don't sleep. They don't quit without notice. Their downtime is better in comparison to employees calling off sick. Contamination is less likely.  The food is cooked more consistently.

How often do people complain about food service in parks?

The possibilities for AI advancing the theme park entertainment industry are vast. They extend far beyond ride design. If the creators and analysts involved in AI are completely wrong about the likeliness massive unemployment due to job replacement, you may even be able to afford a ticket and see this first hand.

I always wondered why they wouldn't come up with new exciting food items but I don't get motion sickness so I don't know if the parks want techno-coloered puke all over the place. 

I am guessing the direction will be 3D printed cupcakes or candy that look like rides, IPs, or recreations of park visitors.  I would love to eat a cherry licorice string that was modeled into a Twisted Colossus.

Jesus. That sounds terrible for you. Maybe that's how the robots will kill us... In that case, maybe they already are?

I have been an insurance adjuster.  I wish I could make AI walk up a ladder, pull a tarp off a roof, take a bunch of photos and measurements, and write an estimate for me while I enjoy a White Claw before my Tesla drives me home.  Fantasy world, but great to think of nonetheless. 

I was an insurance adjuster through a third-party for SFMM for a couple of years before they went bankrupt.  Guess which ride made the most people scream.? Crap, I guess I just gave that away in the question :-)

The first image is a floor plan I created with LIDAR and a laptop program, and the second floor plan was completed by AI with a 3D camera submitted to Matterport.  I never could have drawn the rounded stair or hall walls without it.

Xactware is trying to get rid of us on the easy claims by allowing insureds to submit photos and then AI writes the easier repair estimate.  I also get my estimates graded by AI and it sucks.  I know it is AI because I get my estimate rejected almost as soon as I click submit :-(   It always states you can't add extra labor without an explanation but the explanation is always there.

Meanwhile not AI, but do you want your Six Flags Magic Mountain Psyclone to go?

Me too....

Perhaps we could go back in time and put something else here that equally sucked?

Even the Colossus had to go through conversion therapy:

After all it is Playtime at SFNO.

Do you mean everything was underwater? Yep, but we did mention that everything is half-off?
