So drawn images are still AI generated? These drawings are not 'real' drawings because AI draw them?
>gpt6 was given access to the mouse and keyboard to draw them in a traditional digital drawing pad.
So this different from human using mouse and keyboard to draw them in a traditional digital drawing pad?

Traditional and digital at the same time? Is there non-traditional digital drawing pad? 🤔
Chip giant Nvidia reported another huge jump in sales as the global race to build artificial intelligence (AI) systems continues.
The company said on Wednesday that it brought in $96bn (£71bn) of revenue during the second quarter, more than double the amount for the same period a year earlier. And it expects revenue of $108bn in the next quarter.
"AI has reached its inflection point," CEO Jensen Huang said in prepared remarks, describing the infrastructure buildout as going "at full steam."
The revenue figures beat Wall Street's expectations, leading Nvidia shares to rise by 4.7% in after-hours trading.
The company's data centre division alone generated $89bn in the period, up by 117% from a year earlier, underscoring just how much of the industry now depends on Nvidia's hardware.
Essentially every notable tech company building AI tools and infrastructure, including Amazon, Meta, Google, Microsoft, use Nvidia chips to do so.
Financial analysts said the strong results highlight Nvidia's ongoing momentum.
Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, called it "another monster set of results," noting that revenue and earnings both topped forecasts.
He said the guidance for next quarter "points to revenue comfortably above $110bn."
Nvidia's growing financial strength has also reshaped its role in the sector.
It has become a backer to those that rely on its chips, providing some funding to the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX to help continue the costly buildout of AI infrastructure.
Its financial success and processors are now central the AI boom, powering the data centres used to train and run AI models.
Demand for that computing muscle has helped transform Nvidia into the world's most valuable firm, with a market capitalisation of more than $5tn.
Competition is emerging - from customers designing their own processors and from cheaper suppliers in China – but the latest numbers suggest those challenges remain limited for now.
With around 40% of the US stock market concentrated in ten companies heavily invested in AI, Nvidia's fortunes matter far beyond Silicon Valley.

For stupid analogy we all love to make here, it would be "atleast I put effort robbing this bank, so its should be viewed as moral".
The same situation happened with NFT, everyone were clowning on NFT bros with rightclick-save, but somehow now is different.

Maybe when the Getty and Andersen lawsuits with AI companies are over and AI will win the cases. Getty dropped "stealing" claims already and Andersen claimed "trade dress infringement", so that their true statement "our styles were copied" looked legitimate in court.
U.S. company Satyress is developing threehalves, a centaur-style robot designed for dangerous environments such as wildfires, rubble searches, toxic areas and confined spaces. The system combines a humanoid upper body with a quadruped mobility platform.
If they are not hypocrites of course.
How they can make "new" thing worse than old ones? Why you want the "new" thing when old thing is still there and better?
Thats why people resort to AI.
