Control Z. I said CONTROL Z! What’s wrong with this paper!?

You know you're cooked when you try to pinch zoom a physical book.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 months ago

Have tried to rotate a physical paper. It worked

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not at that stage, but the water is getting hot because I tried it on my laptop the other day

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Some laptops have touch screens.

Why won't the picture get bigger!? Enhance!!

I too am a real human. Look, I even have a real human name!

[–] jupyter_rain@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 months ago

Nice, let's do some more human things like breaking a pinky toe because of a chair or biting your tongue.

I constantly catch myself tapping with 2 fingers on a piece of paper to undo as if I'm on my iPad. It hurts my brain each time

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The muscle memory is real. It's like a twitch more than a conscious action.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Twitch? Thanks for the bitties!!!

(Then the woman streaming continues to ignore the audience. Meanwhile, if it's a guy streaming, the whole stream stops. "HOLY SHIT GUYS!!!! SOMEGUY JUST DONATED 45 BITS!!!! FUUUUUUUCK MAN! You didn't have to do that. What's going on man? Hows your day going???")

And for anyone who doesn't use twitch, 45 bits would equal about 22 cents for the streamer, but the buyer would have spent about a dollar.

As it happens, I thought you were doing a bit based on your username I though ah this person is pretending to be insane because none of that makes sense lol

What a nice hat you got there

[–] jupyter_rain@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

Thanks. It's mine and there are not many like it.

Lol, silly ai, humans SUCK at mathmaticaly perfect shapes!

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 17 points 2 months ago

Ah, my old nemesis: freehand circles.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 34 points 2 months ago

I’m imagining the fifth panel is him discovering depression.

AI should know that hand drawing is a highly difficult task in robotics.

[–] Gobo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's an AI. Why wouldn't it use the repetitive motion of drawing a line infinitely to use it to improve itself?

It theoretically has endless patience. The good news is that it will never take over because it tried to draw a straight line until the end of time.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Well, the entity in the comic is like an actual, sentient AI rather than what we have now, given that it expresses and acts on a desire (in this case, wanting to be human). We're probably several breakthroughs away from actually building a sentient AI.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

A transhuman. Funnily enough, the term is normally used to describe humans who want to be computers. I suppose we could call those transCPUs.

who uses a pencil on a canvas

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 44 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

A... a lot of people. Isn't that how people do rough-ins/sketches of paintings and whatnot? I thought that was, like, the accepted first step.
