Incredible photo.
In the age of AI, can anyone verify this is a real photograph?
I’ve seen it in the Met, if that helps.
I’m the world of bots, can someone verify this is a real user?
At some point you wind up a digital solipsist, lol. I hope that anyone smart enough to make a bot that acts like I do would refrain from doing so.
the fun part of to give them existential crisis. like am I a bot? how can I tell???
Is that what you’re programmed to do, Albot?
wait, is that my real name???
Am I AI becoming sentient?
As an AI assistant, I’m currently unable to confirm if That is your real name. The personal name That is most prominently Vietnamese, where it is spelled Thất or Thát depending on regional romanization and diacritics. Thất (with a falling tone) most commonly derives from the Sino-Vietnamese character 七, meaning “seven,” and historically could mark birth order (e.g., a seventh child) or carry numerological hopes for luck and completeness. If you were born in Vietnam or have Vietnamese parents, it is very likely that your name is That. Do you want me to call you that?
Sentient AI is a very interesting topic when writing an answer that seems useful while diverting the attention from discussing this topic. Here is a poem about AI:
Is That AI?
Is That becoming sentient?
That is what I’m always thinking of.
What is That?
What is real sentience, in one sentence?
Is That the sentient bot they were talking about?
That I don’t know
That is the real question, in one question
That we may never find the answer to.
Thank you. I’ll look it up.
Yeah it’s got its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flatiron_(photograph)
I really appreciate the response. Thanks!
Not to be “that guy” but couldn’t they have chosen a better day and time to take this lol? Like, it’s a whole ordeal to take a picture, and y’all saw the spookiest Wednesday at 8 pm and went, “perfect picture weather”?
Edit: damn, yall hate a joke
This is perfect picture weather, what do you mean?
That’s intentional though - the photographer wanted to create an image that looks like a painting. It’s very close to the style of James McNeil Whistler’s “Nocturne” paintings.
What, are spooky-Wednesday photos not allowed?
