Limitations
Limitations
AI is amazing but Sawed. Among the limitations are an inability to count and follow instructions. If you request two purple Martians,
Hotpot may include yellow hues and Qve aliens. Yes, we tried grounding him and taking away his screen time, but a rebel once is a rebel
always.

We're working hard to improve. Your patience is appreciated.

smartphones, limiting general technology only limits humanity's potential. Society must solve human problems at the human layer, not
the technology layer.

Please use AI responsibly.

Are AI images considered art?

Art is not deQned by means of production. This is why handcrafted paintings from 1st graders are not considered art while professional
illustrations made with Adobe software are. In our founder's opinion, normal art is an opinion that stirs the soul while elevated art stirs
the mind.

What matters is the opinion, not the means.

Imagine you hired an art student and dictate every stroke, color, and detail of a painting. Make this angle sharper. Make that line thicker.
Add purple. The student robotically executes the commands. Who is the artist: you or the student?

AI cannot offer this degree of precision today, but it can spark creativity and spawn compelling ideas for reQnement, much as a junior
employee generates suggestions for an experienced supervisor.

Perhaps raw output from AI may not qualify as art -- someone please consult the spirit of Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart -- but
there is no reason why the collaborative output between you and AI cannot.

In fact, AI images as an ambassador of art arguably transcends "traditional art" that is viscerally resonant but cerebrally unstimulating.
The advent of AI art has stirred minds across the globe and prompted millions to ponder one of the most profound questions posed by
man: What is art?

Do AI images debase art?

It's tempting to say yes, but consider the clothes you're wearing and those worn by 99% of the population.

Off-the-rack clothes cannot compete with handcrafted ones and do not undermine the craftmanship of tailors. If anything, they increase
appreciation and demand for garments fashioned by a human instead of a machine.

Like with apparel, AI cannot match the creativity and excellence of artisans. Trained eyes can readily spot defects with AI images, but
these imperfections are worthy tradeoffs or even unimportant to normal consumers, even if cringeworthy to experts.

It is a mistake to lump AI images with human images the same way it is to lump machine clothes with human clothes. AI images serve a
different purpose. They are meant to let the masses express imagination and emotions in an affordable way, similar to how machine
clothes let the masses dress and express themselves in an affordable way.

Fine. But is this AI intelligent?

As our founder asserts, debates about intelligence are semantic quicksand because the concept is undeQnable. (Try to deQne
intelligence algorithmically.)

These futile discussions distract from the two most critical questions: (1) can humans beneQt from AI? (2) can humans control AI?

Intelligence is uncorrelated with impact. Viruses are not alive (well ...), let alone intelligent, yet even the Devil envies how these pathogens
devastate countries and polarize society. Farm tractors are incredibly dumb, but they enabled humanity to avert Malthusian predictions
of doom and feed billions of people. (Malthus must have been super fun. Friend: "Thomas, good morning!" Thomas: "Bad, morning, bad!
May be our last. Bah!" Wife: "Boobear, fancy a walk? The moon is ever so brilliantly romantic tonight." Thomas: "Bah, madam, bah. I must
conserve calories for the Great Famine." Wife: "Boobear, the winter air is frightfully cold. Hold me. Keep me warm." Thomas: "Bah.
Shivering makes you strong.")

Please don't get sucked into the hysteria over AI sentience. The Google model is no more sentient than the Magic 8 ball (which is
awesome and predicted you would read this). Shockingly, in the age of clickbait articles and outrage artists, shallow attempts to grab the
spotlight . . . grabbed the spotlight with scary, but patently false, claims.

Do AI models learn like humans?

Yes and no.

Consider how humans learn at a conceptual level. We listen to a teacher. Rather than memorize each word from a lecture, we take notes
and extract core principles. AI models are the same. They do not copy images or text. They "take notes" by statistically analyzing data for
key patterns or ideas. These essential ideas are what get stored, not original content. Like human students, some AI models learn better
than others: good AI models excel at identifying and applying core concepts better than poor models.

However, it's critical to note that we still do not understand the precise mechanism by which human brains "learn." Our minds are still
black boxes in terms of how learning occurs, even if we can map the physical pieces and describe the biochemical pathways. AI models
similarly present as black boxes. We can draw detailed and accurate diagrams of AI models, but cannot explain how speciQc results
happen. In this regard, we cannot yet state if AI models and humans learn the same way, simply because we lack information on either
side of the equation.

The simplest proof that machines are much more than memorization is how AI models can produces images and artwork never seen
before.

How should we regulate AI?

Like any powerful technology, AI can both empower and harm.

If you're struggling to reconcile the risk-reward tradeoff, how would you regulate the printing press?

The Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf engendered the death and destitution of millions, setting back humanity by decades.

Will AI replace humans?

If you believe this, please use Siri. (No, Siri, no! I said check the Warriors score. I did NOT say call Pizza Hut.)

On a serious note, we see AI more as "augmented intelligence" than "artiQcial intelligence" -- technology that augments people. Someday,
researchers may invent general intelligence and displace humans, but that day is neither today nor tomorow.

Until then, AI can empower individuals by sparking creativity and automating drudgery. Those who dismiss machine learning overlook
how much repetition mars the creative process and normal jobs, including art and programming.

Analyze your work activities. How many of them are boring? If your company hired a junior person to perform those tasks, even 30% of
them, freeing you to focus on more meaningful tasks, would you want this? Welcome to AI's dazzling promise.

Even if general intelligence never materializes, AI dangles the prospect of automating tasks for knowledge workers in the same way
machines automated tasks for farm workers. These machines were not intelligent and did not eliminate farmers, but they did augment
abilities and unlock historic levels of societal gains. Without technology, it would be impossible to feed the 8 billion people alive today
and somewhere in outrage heaven, Thomas Malthus would be shoving his Qnger in everyone's face exclaiming, "I told you! I told you! I
totally tooooooooooooooooold you!"

Frankly, this scenario of augmented intelligence feels more feasible and appealing. A world where AI functions independently of humans
could usher in an era of unthinkable risk. But a world in which AI maximizes the potential of each and every person could unleash
unprecedented levels of joy, health, and prosperity.

Is Web3 useful technology or a massive scam?

TBD. Longer answer here.

What's surprising about AI?

That machines are ironically better at creativity than logic, at least in 2023. And of course, that humans are the ones vulnerable to binary
thought while machines can Suidly think in analog.

Why are AI Art Generators controversial?

AI Art Generators are controversial due to forces familiar to any historian: disruptive tech threatens jobs, which naturally incites
resentment and fear.

From daguerreotype cameras to Photoshop to smartphone cameras, technology changes society in profound ways. Joseph Schumpeter
describes this as "creative destruction," but it is more accurately considered "destructive creation." Ultimately, disruptive technology like
an AI Art Generator births a healthier, more prosperous society by elevating living standards and increasing skill equality via the power of
automation. In doing so, some people feel threatened and lash out in fear. This cycle repeats itself endlessly.

Public training of artists has led to progress for millennia. Each generation of art learns and draws inspiration from preceding ones. Think
artists who learn to create by studying private buildings, favorite cartoons, popular characters, and other sources of art knowledge.
Public training of machines has occurred for decades, and modern marvels like the iPhone or Google would be severely handicapped
without such knowledge sharing, or perhaps not even feasible.

Ultimately, society lurches forward -- clumsily and jarringly, but forward -- with the development and proliferation of disruptive technology.
Imagine progress as a river that starts narrow and widens, where currents sweep up skills and amenities available only to the elite at the
narrow mouth, and magically carry them to everyone along the riverbank. Decades ago, only the elite could write, read, and drink clean
water. Years ago, only the wealthy could afford smartphones and computers. Technology cured these crippling inequalities, each time
transforming elite lifestyles into normal ones. Art is an incredible skill and requires immense talent, but the ability to draw is only
available to a precious few. Expression is a core human value. AI promises to bring expression to all.

Is it bad that AI chatbots hallucinate and spread misinformation?

Absolutely. Fabricating facts (fancy language for lying) is a signiQcant concern and will get addressed. There are multiple approaches
underway to combat AI hallucinations (artsy language for lying). We expect this to be mostly solved in the imminent future.

While valid in theory, these criticisms are misguided and often reek of outrage opportunism. AI is a raw, emerging technology. No one is
content with the current state. Major labs are committed to Qxing Saws and eliminating obvious risks like hallucinations.

Hallucinating humans, on the other hand, present a far greater threat to society. To wit: Bob fakes expertise, speaking conQdently on
topics outside his experience. Bob's knowledge is limited to 2021 or before. Is Bob a media personality ... or an AI chatbot?

Let's demand more of AI, and also of humans -- especially those on social media and TV who subsist on outrage.

Burger or fries Qrst?

Fries, always fries. Duh.

If you wondered, "Why is this FAQ suddenly discussing fries," dear reader, you lose. You have been outed as non-human, likely an AI robot
sent from the future (or maybe a Magic 8 ball in human form). Expect the FBI to come knocking any moment.

This question by the distinguished German professor, Albee Esse, is regarded as the quintessential method for testing if someone is
human or non-human: people instinctively scream "Fries!" then go eat some, which leads to guilty moments in the gym, which spawns
fantasies about fries, renewing the endless cycle. Illogical behavior deQnes the human species.

Read the research yourself: the conclusions are shocking and almost impossible to believe.

French fries or ice cream? You can only pick one.

Do not ask mere mortals to do the impossible. This can break people. Aligning ambition and ability is one of the keys to happiness, and
this is beyond our ability.

Unknown historical fact: the inspiration for Rodin's famous "Thinker" sculpture was to capture the angst in pondering this question. This
question is highly dangerous and may rupture souls if handled indelicately. Do not attempt to answer unless you're a licensed
professional.

Fan or foe of skinny jeans?

Foe. Big time. Like Superman vs. Lex Luthor. Mortal enemies.

We loathe skinny jeans for two reasons: (1) we can't put them on; and (2) we can't take them off. Our thick thighs and big buttocks get in
the way. After 10 minutes of struggling and straining, we might have them down to our thighs, then our knees 10 minutes later and Qnally
off after 30 minutes, at which point, we are so frustrated that we have probably yanked off our socks and underwear, too. The only upside
is that the process burns 500 calories.

Skinny jeans are a global conspiracy to make men empathetic. We men don't identify enough with the sacriQces women endure to look
attractive. The demoralizing diets, suffocating bras, painful heels. Society even normalizes the notion that natural faces of women are
unacceptable; they should wear masks everyday in the form of makeup. These different expectations present hurdles in the race of life,
slowing women down while we men breeze by in the adjacent lane wearing baggy, ever so comfortable sweatpants.

Women everywhere got fed up and hopped onto Google Plus (because no one uses it) and hatched a diabolical plan to share the pain. To
make us understand.

Man bras are next. They will promise fuller and more shapely pectoral muscles but feel as comfortable as a boa constrictor wrapped
around the chest. Rumor is mras may drop next winter. (If you're part of the Skinny Jean Illuminati, please please please don't make this
happen. We beg you.)

How should society grapple with AI stereotypes?

Treat AI for what it is: an immature technology. AI Art generators are not sage elders. They're raw technologies with the potential to
empower billions of people -- but also perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Industry experts are scrambling to tame AI and erase bias, but
these solutions won't materialize for a while.

Meanwhile, the best way to combat stereotypes -- whether from AI, news, or TV -- is at the human layer and armed with two principles.

First, no two people are identical (except Zach Braff and Dax Shepard, who undeniably are the same person wearing different color
contacts). As society diversiQes, it becomes even more challenging to represent the staggering diversity among human groups. For
instance, should a NetSix show about Chinese-Americans feature Cantonese or Mandarin? Should the food reSect Northern or Southern
cuisine? (No, Panda Express is not a valid option.) The United Status Census groups Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese -- all incredibly
different cultures and ethnicities -- into one mega group, "Asian."

Second, anyone has the potential to become anything or do anything. Never let a lack of representation in AI, news, or TV suggest
otherwise. Unless your goal is to become our boss and make us choose between french fries and ice cream. Don't do this. Don't be evil.

You're edgy for a tech startup. What gives?

For realz. In the digital jungle of startups, life may swing violently between success and failure on a daily basis. One moment, you're
soaring toward an IPO. The next, you're hurtling toward the trash can. The constant chaos of teetering between boom and bust is
incredibly taxing and demands extreme mental fortitude. Unless you're SBF and FTX. Then it just takes $40m and a few politicans.

Hotpot's toughness stems from our founder, whose diAcult childhood forged a steely sense of purpose.

Perhaps all you need to know is that he is the only 3x winner of the Baddest Bad Boy of the Palo Alto Chess Club. Were it not for
uniminaginably painful papercuts that required hospitalization, experts agree he would have captured his fourth in unanimous fashion.
Even more astounding, he was willing to risk it all, but doctors warned these papercuts were no ordinary wounds. Not only did they
hamper his checkmate Qngers, they were on the verge of drawing blood. He fought to soldier on, but his doctors advised immediate
treatment and ended his historic run as Baddest Bad Boy.

How does one develop the grit to confront papercuts? By growing up in rugged and unforgiving Palo Alto, where winter temperatures dip
into the low 60s and students are often observed trudging to school in last season's Cole Haans. Where minorities may walk into a store
and face greetings of, "Good afternoon!" even though it's only 11:58 AM and obviously still morning. Oh, the lies! Such deception. Like
uncultured beasts, in the raw neighborhoods of Palo Alto, people pass the evenings sleeping not in silk sheets, but Egyptian cotton. Privacidad - Términos
