Trouvé sur pinterest, et le pire c'est que c'est décris comme une vraie page de magazine de 1940. Y'en a qui méritent des baffes

Ce mec était tellement génial, j'espère qu'il s'amuse bien là-haut

I installed Sober on my computer so I could play Roblox again after all these years, but it won't launch! I followed tutorials and instructions to the letter, but nothing happens when I run the application

There are names of people and names of villages (I don't know if they're real, I haven't checked), nothing else, it's really creepy

The USB drive is a brand new one from a stock of unsold Philips drives, refurbished and resold to FNAC (if I understood correctly), so technically it's never been used. Another weird thing is that the file only appears when I'm on a Windows computer, not on Linux

C'est vrai que c'est éreintant d'écrire trois mots pour générer une image

En plus le gag, c'est que Gangle (c'est le nom de ce personnage, pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas) est justement une artiste qui dessine elle-même

J'adore Pinterest

So there's some context, because I usually do my work properly and I love my teachers...

This afternoon, at my carpentry school, we were supposed to give presentations on various wood-based or wood-derived materials (we each had to choose a different subject, and everyone was completely free to do whatever they wanted). After a few slideshows, a guy I'll call Urinator (because he's a contemptuous jerk who's hated me for no reason since the beginning of the year) and a friend of his presented their "work": a presentation with a 100% ChatGPT visual spouting nonsense about the subject they were presenting, accompanied by text that was very likely also AI-generated. At the end of the presentation, the teacher congratulated them (and the class too, but hey, they're all not very bright, so it didn't surprise me. And I mean that without malice). When it was my turn to present, I told the professor I refused to go, because I didn't want my work to be judged on the same basis as a 100% AI-generated presentation by two lazy people (I didn't say in class that they were lazy, but they still are). The class laughed at me, saying that it didn't matter, that the AI ​​had done a very good summary (that's precisely the point: the AI, not the guys giving the presentation), and the professor told me very seriously that generative AIs were tools and that they should be used, that he saw no problem with a presentation being generated by AI, and that it would be like refusing to use a calculator for math. I told them that AI pollutes, plagiarizes artists' work, and is just for lazy people. Urinator made fun of me in a really nasty way, and so did the rest of the class. Despite the teacher's request, I said again that I didn't want to present my work. He calmly told me, "Either you present your work, or you leave." I left without saying a word amidst the chatter about me. That's it

Please note, I love this teacher, we're very close, so I don't want you to be mean to him. It's just that he sometimes has some pretty strong opinions!

Edit: A quick explanation to close the debate in this comments section: from my point of view (and I want to emphasize this, it's important), the problem isn't AI in general, but generative AI, the kind that generates text, sound, or images, for the reasons I mentioned earlier. For everything else, I prefer to talk about algorithms, because they don't produce anything based on reflection and diverse sources. When you ask ChatGPT to generate a horse, it will search catalogs of horse images, "think" to produce a relatively accurate image, and generate it. A calculator doesn't think; it's like a domino knocking another down. And yes, I know you won't read this lengthy, well-intentioned explanation, but it's important to me!

Edit 2: Contrary to what some gratuitously mean and condescending comments would have you believe, I don't want to moralize, I don't want to influence you, nor do I want to try to come across as a hero (although I have less affection for people who come here just to disguise a grotesque advocacy of AI as criticism of my actions). I also absolutely do not want to ridicule and/or accuse my classmates. They have a questionable opinion and behavior, that's true, but they are in a rural vocational high school, and (in France at least) vocational high schools are very often where those who have no idea about their future end up and who choose a track at random, the general track being harder than the vocational track (personally, I chose this track because I love manual work, so it doesn't apply to me). They are all in a group mindset, so they share the same opinion (again, debatable but forgivable) among friends, which in my case gives this 1 against 100 effect

J'adore ce mec

Est-ce j'ai vraiment attendu qu'il pleuve pour faire ces captures d'écran?

Oui

Ça c'était du jouet certifié qualité!
