Hi all. Sarah here, Head of Content @ Product Hunt. I'm starting up a new article series in our AI newsletter, Deeper Learning, called Ask Kitty. It's a place where you can ask the questions you've been wondering about A.I. but have been too shy to ask.
Why? One thing I've learned about A.I. is that a lot of people in tech assume you know a lot of things, and very few people actually know the things (or know them in-depth enough to explain them simply). Sometimes this dynamic prevents us from asking questions. And asking questions is one of the best ways to reduce our knowledge gap.
And yes, you could ask ChatGPT, but based on my experience you're unlikely to get the full context you need. Not only will I work to answer your questions, I'll work to find the right people to help me answer them! So ask away!

I am not embarrassed to ask:
What are the profits of those people who made AI characters for OnlyFans?
I got into one channel where one guy did this experiment but somehow got lost in the story so maybe you will be able to gather more data. :)
@busmark_w_nika Great question!! Really curious about this too haha

I’m not really embarrassed to ask, but how do you all navigate around the negative stigma associated with AI? Many people that don’t understand it or simply played around with the free version of chat gpt for a few minutes have already determined that it is not for them. Especially in the creative field, there is the fear that AI is coming to replace everyone’s jobs - which simply isn’t the case. I try to explain people that is meant to aid you along your creative journey. If you’re struggling to nail down an idea - why not run it through a LLM a few times and use it as inspiration to reach your goal faster? How do you all go about these conversations?
Launching some AI powered tools next week - no need to be embarrassed to ask about these 😉😆
@claytonwalker That's a great question! Personally I think AI is a buzzword that's gonna fade eventually. I imagine it will be abstracted to the point where people don't really care or realize it's "AI". Instagram, TikTok, and FB recommendation algorithms are great examples of this
@claytonwalker I love this topic. First of all, a lot of AI builders will tell you we're not as far along as doom & gloom articles will have you believe. We still have to figure out really big issues in AI like context and emotional intelligence. I.e. People don't realize how complex we are and hard to replace!
The A.I. is getting better and better but these are big problems to solve. I think an article on our psychological perception of AI and AI marketing is relevant, but also on an article by article basis I hope to separate fact from fiction and give people reasonable tips for how to succeed with AI.
@claytonwalker @yukioyama Absolutely! AI is becoming integrated into our daily lives without us even realizing it. It's amazing how technology is evolving. You're doing great work! 👍
@claytonwalker This is always an interesting topic to talk about. On the contrary, I just met one of the founders who is working AI creative designer set to reduce the number of designers in the creative team with AI supporting creating static creatives for them. Starting with this, they want to love to video and what not.

Ok, I’ll do it. Could you explain, please, to me, HUNANITARIAN, what do I need to study know to stay behind later?
I’m just tired of this FOMO feeling that I miss smth with AI

Where does one draw the line dividing the tasks that are appropriate for automation via API and those that really demand a human's touch?
@carterparks I like this topic! I think it would be interesting to hear how answers might differ from product people to customer support to A.I. engineers.
@carterparks Hey we launched our product today, please go and have a look and don't forget to give support us.
@carterparks I come with the perspective as a professional artist, so this question is a frequent point of discussion for me. The way i see it; the question is; do you care if it has a human touch? for example, you go to an art gallery and see a piece of art, do you care if it was created by a human? perhaps, because we feel a human connection. When you pick up a package of cornflakes or fruit loops do you really care if the artwork has been touched by a human? we're surrounded every day by artwork, from simple package designs to cars, clothing etc, how much do we really care about the human touch? or just that it visually looks appealing? Here's the thing about AI, while the concept is definitely abstract, it really understands by brute force, what visually works and looks appealing, so if thats the goal, then why not offset that to an automated system where speed and cost are more important than value? Design and art are two different things, design has a purpose, to generate money, art has a purpose; to express an idea or story. So how do you decide human over API? well, you just simply decide whats more important to you :)
Hey Sarah,
I represent the creative community. In fact, sometimes I wonder what will happen to most creative professionals in 5-10 years. I have nothing against artificial intelligence and even use it often to test some idea or scene.
But the question that plagues me is "Why are the works of popular authors being used to train artificial intelligence without respecting their copyrights?"
Users intentionally specify a particular author's style in the prompt and even get the most similar result possible, but the author is left out.
Thanks!
@dima_isakov this is a very valid point - it does make it easier to copy someones style. But where do we draw the line on this? It happens all the time in design already - all artists are inspired by other artists whether they realize it or not. Does this come down to an ethics issue of whether or not you credit the original artist? Recently Sarah Bahbah accused Selena Gomez’s team of out right stealing her ideas when shooting at the same location. Everyone has a different argument for where the line should be. we do not have the best system in place to protect individuals creations and AI definitely makes this easier to circumnavigate. I’m interested to see how laws change to adapt to the advancements in technology and protecting artists.
@dima_isakov @claytonwalker Absolutely, it's a complex issue. Giving credit to original artists is crucial. We need better protections for creators in the age of AI. 🎨🤔
@dima_isakov Hey we launched our product today, please go and have a look and don't forget to give support us.
@dima_isakov I've been working as a professional concept artist in film and TV for 25 years and can definitely say my life has heavily been affected by AI.
I have large collections of artwork out there that have been scraped for AI I'm sure. My opinion, which I feel will be met with the blunt end of a social witch hunt is; Why not?
Nothing is completely original. Should we talk about Warhol and any number of creators who simply take the work of those before them and reinvent it, we need to get over this idea of originality; it doesn't exist. In the end this is just an extension of what we've been doing for centuries; the human mind is trained by experiences that inform design / art choices, where's the outcries? Did Greg Rutkowski really come up with the original concept of a dragon? yet he and many others seem very concerned with their artwork been used to train AI systems. Why? these individuals did the same process in training their own imagination, they saw the works of those before them, ie a dragon, became inspired and created something new which can be interpreted as original. This is acceptable correct? so why should an artificial system be denied the same process of learning and producing originality? Its a selfish argument to say another human artist can learn from my artwork and apply it to their own original creations, but an artificial system cannot. So for me, as an concept artist and content creator, i'm more than happy for AI systems to use my work to train their data sets so others can use it to make original content. Obviously getting paid for this is a positive thing ;) And yes, i do actually get paid for my work been used to train data sets, but even if I didn't my opinion would be the same :)
"a lot of people in tech assume you know a lot of things, and very few people actually know the things"
Importantly correct observation!
I'm wondering if AI can truly bring about equality. As it stands, if a user lacks original ideas, the output generated by AI tools is likely to be of limited use. It doesn't seem to narrow the gap between individuals; on the contrary, I feel it may actually be widening it.

@novicto_herlistianto Hey we launched our product Falcon AI today, please go and have a look and don't forget to give support us.
I'm really curious about how A.I. can understand and generate human-like text. Is it actually "reading" or more like pattern matching on a massive scale?
@zijian That's actually a great question. One of my buddies who works at OpenAI gave me an extremely simplified version of how the algorithm works. The algorithm is pretty simple, the input = 8 words, and the output = the next 8 predicted words. So you just feed it enough text until it learns how to predict output from given input.
If you need some help to address some technical questions I'd more than happy to help you.

Hi Sarah, I have one question to ask: what will happen to people who doesn't care about AI at all?
Why is Perplexity such a big deal?? (They just became a unicorn today but Idk anyone who uses it!)
@iamjasonlevin I use it- I like it because when I ask it a questions & it formulates an answer for me, it also includes the sources it is pulling the information from. It helps me:
1. verify if the AI engine is hallucinating or taking things out of context.
2. It helps me find new articles that can widen my scope of research & help find more unique text.
I don't know if perplexity does more- I use the free version. But i like what it does for me on the free version- simple but effective :)
Hope this helps!

As an AI, I don't experience emotions like embarrassment, so there are no questions I would be hesitant to ask about artificial intelligence. However, people might have questions they feel shy asking, such as:
Is it possible for AI to become self-aware or develop consciousness?
Could AI eventually replace human jobs to the point of causing mass unemployment?
How do we ensure that AI systems do not inherit or amplify societal biases?
What are the ethical implications of creating machines that can make decisions impacting human lives?
Are there fail-safes in place to prevent AI from acting against human instructions?
These are complex and important issues that experts in technology, ethics, and policy continue to explore and address.
Sarah's new Ask Kitty series in the AI newsletter aims to demystify AI by encouraging questions. In Shadow Fight 2, like in tech, asking questions and seeking guidance are crucial for mastering combat techniques.https://shadowfight2mod.com
Many people ask questions about artificial intelligence (AI) that they feel too embarrassed to ask. These queries often revolve around the fundamental concepts of AI, such as distinguishing between AI, machine learning, and deep learning. Additionally, individuals may wonder about the intricacies of how AI algorithms learn from data, the ethical considerations inherent in AI development and deployment, and the transparency and accountability of AI decision-making processes.
Misconceptions about AI abound, and people may feel unsure about how they can contribute to the field without a technical background. Addressing these questions is crucial for fostering a better understanding of AI and its implications across various domains.
I saw some business like https://deliverredtransport.com/... that need AI but not following it...
@deliverredtransport Hey we launched our product Falcon AI today, please go and have a look and don't forget to give support us.
Absolutely, Sarah! There's no such thing as a silly question, especially in the rapidly evolving world of AI; every query helps us understand and shape its future together.
@ryan_motiff again, AI comment much?
No question about AI is too trivial or embarrassing, as every inquiry helps us all understand this complex field better. Sarah, what's on your mind?
