Limitations
AI is amazing but Uawed. Among the limitations are an inability to count and follow instructions. If you request two
purple Martians, Hotpot may include yellow hues and Sve 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.

Please use AI responsibly.

Are AI images considered art?

Art is not deSned 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 reSnement,
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 undeSnable. (Try
to deSne intelligence algorithmically.)

These futile discussions distract from the two most critical questions: (1) can humans beneSt 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 speciSc 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 "artiScial 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 Snger 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 Uuidly 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 signiScant 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 Sxing Uaws 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
conSdently 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 Srst?

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 deSnes 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 Snally 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 sacriSces
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 diversiSes, it becomes even more challenging to represent the staggering
diversity among human groups. For instance, should a NetUix show about Chinese-Americans feature Cantonese or
Mandarin? Should the food reUect Northern or Southern cuisine? (No, Panda Express is not a valid option.) The United Privacy - Terms
