Transmitting Everything You Say

@davidrevoy High-quality data!

@davidrevoy

"waiiit a minute, are you telling the truth now?"

"Yes"

"What about yesterday?"

"Reply hazy, try again"

"Wait, what?"

"Iv'e been bewitched to be honest about my transmission capabilites, but not about anything else"

Though, re-checking all the story, the goth witch looks too young for a post-doc, and also her relation to the info provided by the parrot is really what you might expect from a bachelor or master student, but not someone with a PhD under her belt. A fortiori a permanent researcher would have the ability to check a good chunk of the parrot nonsense, and avoid incinerating herself.

So my personal take, given what we have now could be a witch at the beginning of her PhD, or in her Master's (since she's getting a bit more assertive). A PhD student is a lot closer to faculties and could well be invited for the new year party she's in.

@davidrevoy Privacy is dead?!Nooo, surely just prankster.

@davidrevoy Maintenant, tout le monde veut connaître le contenu de la discussion salace.

@davidrevoy @tiredbun @voxel I've seen enough blatantly wrong LLM-generated alt text and spell check results that I don't think the technology is fit for purpose. Any purpose. AI "hallucination" is not a solvable problem: It's the exact thing LLMs are designed to do. So, with all due respect to the person being quoted here, I don't trust anyone who would entrust something as important as accessibility to AI.

@Sobex For sure, having her in her late years of study could be an advantage if I decide to show other students, and their relation with their Avian Intelligence later. So, I'm not closing this door. I'll see, writing is difficult, and sometime I have to take direction for a good 4 panels and... the lore will follow later Thank you for the feedback!

@RandomDamage @solitha @lazy

@Linebyline I totally agree, this is a good point.
For sure, I think LLM-generated alt text should only be used as, eg. , a quick placeholder text to fill up an editing text-area, requiring a human to post-fix it. I strongly wish the output of any LLM should never go into public or production unsupervised. A human should always be required in the last chain of the process with a strong expertise on the task to critic, rewrite, adapt and make it better.

@tiredbun @voxel

@Rianq Thank you for the feedback

@Sobex Okay, I really have to ask.

She "looks too young for a post-doc"? How many 300-year-olds do you know and how do they typically compare in appearance to post-docs?

@davidrevoy @RandomDamage @lazy

@solitha @davidrevoy @RandomDamage @lazy Well fair, there’s a question of how long do wizard and witch live and how do they age.

I’m relating with human aging. (And Ars Magica wizard âgé slower than their peers starting around 30, but they do get to the 35 apparent age usually, and don’t usually live more than 250 (to be compared with the 50-60 reached by non wizards))

@Sobex David did mention a sort of parody of Yennefer, who chose to look much younger than she was.

In this case, "alive" appears much younger than human aging at 300 years, so appearances are not a great metric.

Edit: E34, we know glamours exist.

@davidrevoy CINEMA! Thanks for the laughs.

@davidrevoy
That bird's been collecting knowledge without her knowledge?!

It all makes sense now.

@arfisk I like to call her Cepper (for the Cepper&Parrot pun).

@davidrevoy Oh my, what will the frog think?! Was he there as well?

@MxSpoon @eragon @davidrevoy
*ahem*, well...

Its more of a 1969 thing.

@MrBelles Haha, maybe the frog prince was on this bath, who knows

@davidrevoy I interpret the "high-quality data" to mean the Avian Intelligence is generating nude pictures of the child version of this gothic sorceress (a la Grok chatbot scandal)...quelle horreur!!!
