How would you explain generative AI video to someone from 1726?

its magic.

god did it

i'd enlist them in a butlerian jihad

"Basically you see, its like a massive pipeline that pressure switches things inside it through signals that allows things to pop up with the correct coding and language, its kind of like idea behind magic but its actually just science using electricity and harnessing it for processing power through these devices inside it, no there's no demonic thingamajic going on and its impossible to summon demons with the help of a device like smartphone or a computer even if themotherboard and the formulae look like some kind of solomonic magic circles and sigils."

How fast would I be burned alive? (Better yet I would try to avoid explaining the black magic sounding mumbo jumbo about synthetic materials like plastic and shit... That's straight up more witchcraft than just a device that does things and shows pictures.)

>>107160763 (OP)
I'd show them how I was a foot taller than everyone else, for no plausible historical reason. Thus demonstrating The Future is a land where fact-free slop shall Reign.

"It's like fairies but real."
easy

what you're about to see took humans 300 years to build. It's like a mirror that's not limited to showing yourself. You can see other people through it

>>107160763 (OP)
If you still alive by the point you explain the concept of pictures, moving pictures and rectangles that can show this shit, telling someone that a strange box can create videos upon request is a small task.

>>107160763 (OP)
you gotta do it in stages how technology has evolved in reality.
first explain and shot them what a photo is that would blow their mind already then graducally explain every development in chronological order

>>107160827
They had no concept of running electricity in 1726. You've lost them there already. I doubt they would burn you, that's a stereotype. They'd probably beat you up and steal your stuff. Maybe they'd lock you in an asylum if you kept preaching.

>>107160922
yeah, gl with that.
ignorance has never taken well to being challenged.

>>107160961
They would probably kill me for being protestant more likely than having that tech around...

Certainly not unless you have "SOLA SCRIPTURA" tattooed on your forehead.

We made this tiny sigil out of glass and metal that we used as a vat for growing a little demon brain that then watched enough theatres until it started conjuring its own theatres. And to power it we need the same energy that causes lightning.

You just tell them you have a genie in the box that will create any image you instruct it to.
But only if they pay you to show it

your move genie.

Something something horrors beyond your comprehension

I'd explain it using Python

>>107163923
This is why I want to learn the general basics of lot of key inventions, like the general design idea behind actually effective generator or actually effective steam engine

There was a poster "Say you went back in time. I got you covered" and a bunch of facts shoved in that you could actually use/teach starting with what you had back then.

To be quite honest, really, I think modern soft skills, pilpulling, trolling, emotional manipulation, motivating people to work for you, etc, would be way more useful to a time traveller. But the avegrage 4chin autismos have none of that.

If you bring a phone with hand generator, flashlight with the same hand generator, gun with at least 300 bullets and fill your phone with pdfs on how to build anything and where to find strategic ore deposits to order building lines you could speed run the industrial revolution in your lifetime being born in like Rome or 12th century Europe. Biggest problem would be understanding people around you with god knows what language and accent. Just listen to how some Scottish people speak and realise that’s the same language as English, now imagine speaking in pre-Shakespeare English with god knows what accent.

Latin. Rome Empire was huge and biggest player in its time, so they'd see your horrible accent as either some jeet/aussie in the British Emprie or some ESL third worlder anyway. Later on, Ecclesiastic Latin would give the same vibe to native speakers, plus you'd get an interpreter of the clergy, bypassing common folk:
>Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus tecum
>this filthy pagan with his magical slab sure seems to be trying, let's see how we can convert him to abandon his ways and live the trve trad life shovelling dung

>on my age we have demons that produce lies, sometimes beautiful, sometimes comical, sometimes violent lies, and people lose their souls and their time making deals with those demons while destroying our culture and heritage

Basically it's a "demon" that generates worthless slop and wastes your time, while sucking the life out of the world.

>>107166158
yeah, that's exactly what mephistophles was to faust

i'd start with the basics.

>>107160763 (OP)
oh, i didn't see the year 1726. then i'd just explain that its the jews.

>>107160763 (OP)
depends on who it is
smart people of any era would understand what you mean if you can actually explain it, even without that ability they'd probably be able to get the gist.
Stuff like the camera obscura has been known for thousands of years.

i've made it my business to try to understand as much about physics and computers and technology in general to appreciate what i use everyday
it'd be fun to go back in the past and pass those ideas along, no cellphone required

>>107160763 (OP)
i'd bring an issue of the Linux Magazine and point to tux and tell everyone its his fault that you had to go back in time and now you don't want to go back

AI generated means ART

Do you understand how flipping the pages really fast in a picture book can give the illusion of movement?
Imagine a machine that you can put billions of images into, it will sort them into groups, and you can tell the machine to make any pattern of images you like
the machine will even take pieces of images and splice the pieces to make new images if you ask it to
in this way, the machine artificially but intelligently generates groups of moving pictures called video (latin for "I see") as commanded

>>107160823
In the 1700's they envisioned mechanical computers controlling automatons.
They just lacked electrical knowledge.
So I guess try to pretend that electricity can do something it can't, and we'll play catch up again.

i think if you end up too far back in time, you better shut the fuck up or risk being singled out for that vampire attack from the week before you arrived.
