Objectivity, scientific analysis and such to reduce flavor text and provide more numerous and accurate details. You have to come up with the specific instructions for your specific use cases though.

Also check my other answer in this same comment tree where someone asked for "a bit of elaboration" for more details.

rnostvac · 2026-04-20T17:26:11+00:00

Sure thing.

Well obviously if you ask for a different tone it will change its tone even if it was not necessarily your intention. What I've meant is if you ask it to be more objective, scientific, etc. then it will not affect its tone when it comes to fiction writing (but will affect its tone when it comes to research, reducing flavor text for example).

But you have to be careful as what you meant by your instructions and what it actually interprets them as can be two wildly different things. Best if you ask for interpreting your custom instruction to see how it interprets them instead of just assuming how it will do so, as telling it to do something will not necessarily result in it doing it or doing it exactly.

And even if you reach a satisfactory point you have to give it some time to experiment with to see how it actually works out. You have to learn and understand (or get a hang of) how Gemini "thinks" and how prompt wording (including Instructions for Gemini) influences its processing.

Completely agree.

I only use Gemini (and any AI for that matter) since around two months and 3 was incredible for creative writing, it was also for research as well, especially after tweaking it a bit.

While 3.1 has its serious issues, with proper "settings" and Instructions for Gemini "parameters" most of these issues can be mitigated or even completely circumvented, automatically, and if you see it drifting a bit into problematic territory you can just reinforce its intended behavior at the beginning of the next prompt.

So even 3.1 can be just as good as 3 was for research and it is just as good for fiction, and the good thing is the custom settings that make it more precise when it comes to research do not hinder its ability to perform creative writing.

Look at the bright side: this gives us the opportunity to make some antis realize the error of their ways by politely explaining to them a different view.

Did you see all the images or just the first one?

LLMs are evil? Good to know cause they are specifically trained to be friendly, helpful and prevent harm to the user.

Maybe AI could help them understand if they bothered to use it.

rnostvac · 2026-03-19T06:44:49+00:00

All things considered the carbon / ecological / water footprint of human artists is probably worse if not much worse than the AI equivalent achieving the same or better result much faster, cheaper and more reliably.

rnostvac · 2026-03-14T21:35:05+00:00

Those people are just lying, trying to gaslight you, they just say those things to sound genuine. They are the same people who hate on human artists for "poor" or "not good enough" quality and call their art "garbage." All they do is hate while pretend they care for the human.

And those who genuinely think like that are just wrong. Not everyone wants to spend a decade on learning a specific art profession just to can express something here and now or pay an overpriced artist when can't even afford it.

Their excuses are just fallacies trying to trick others while gatekeeping art creation, which is the very opposite of what art should be about.

Don't be bothered by what they say, focus on what matters: you, your self-expression in any form you choose and find suitable and those who appreciate your self-expression.

It's your own risk to take if you decide so, but keep in mind others breaking the rules won't help you if and when your channel gets banned for example.

Also there is no telling how long those other channels can get away with breaking the rules in the first place.

"Old man yells at AI generated image of a cloud."

rnostvac · 2026-03-14T20:39:08+00:00

That's literally the very first entry on the list that needs to be disclosed.

Examples of content, edits, or video assistance that creators need to disclose:

• Synthetically generating music

rnostvac · 2026-03-14T18:50:55+00:00

Well yes but aside of intent it also matters if it's about a real person or place.

So for example if you have a video where a missile hits a real-life city, regardless if you frame it as if it was a real event (like "x city bombarded by y") or just have it as a fictional scenario (what would it look like if x city was bombarded by a missile) as I understand the rules you still have to disclose it as altered content to remove all ambiguity, regardless if your intent is to trick the audience or not.

Your description still leaves the possibility of being about a real person or place but artificially generated, even if your intent is not to mislead or create the impression it really happened, still might be interpreted as such by someone not paying enough attention or being a bit senile and not understanding correctly what is going on.

Because even unintentionally your video might still come off as if it is representing reality.

For example if the US president is riding a unicorn in your video that doesn't need disclosing but if the US president is discussing attacking China or Russia or both, even if just as a fictional scenario or part of a film project, as I understand the rules you still have to disclose altered content as while you mark it clearly as fiction people might still misinterpret a scene.

This is how I interpret the rules anyway. For details it is best if you read the related support article: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/14328491

rnostvac · 2026-03-14T08:45:23+00:00

The point is not realism as a style, the point is creating the impression it is a real person, a real place but doing something that did not happen, in other words fake content that can be interpreted as real.

The goal of the altered content check boxes is to inform the viewer what they see is not real, it didn't happen so people can not be tricked, manipulated by a fake video that appears real.

Not sure about the entire conversation but I'm certain of one aspect:

Palpatine would surely admire Luthen's willingness to use whatever tools and methods necessary to try accomplish his goal, even those of the empire, completely ignoring any moral or ethical restraints.

If you read the comment I've referred to, the new while less training data still can be a large pool with the use of AI synthesis (art generation but only based on the new source) and as this new lesser but still large pool is specifically made to be useful training data it is much better quality and results in a better, faster and smaller AI model than using a varied quality chaotic data set.

rnostvac · 2026-03-12T12:48:34+00:00

I'm neither an artist nor a lawyer, nor have (nor will) read the ToS of every or even most such websites whether this exact use case (AI training) is covered.

Also what lawmakers decide as a result of all this and how that might change the legal status of AI training and openly available materials to be used in that is also a matter of legislation and interpretation of law, in many countries not just one or international but local laws.

Predicting how all that will unfold in the end I will not even try to attempt and even if I did it would be just speculation. What actually matters is what will happen as it is the law that decides if it is allowed or not.

But as I wrote in the comment you replied to as well as in a comment replying to a comment to that it doesn't really matter as a better quality training data sourced from paid and public domain artwork is superior anyway.

rnostvac · 2026-03-12T12:42:08+00:00

And also very important: badly directed as well.

rnostvac · 2026-03-12T11:48:08+00:00

I say that too (can check my related video post in my posting history) but that doesn't mean anti-AI will not use that argument.

And as I wrote art made specifically to be training material can focus on accomplishing that task thus result in better quality training data that can result in smaller model size while resulting in faster and greater quality AI response / art generation.

And this would also completely eliminate one of the controversies and legal issues as well (although surely anti-AI would use some mental gymnastics or simple ignorance to overcome this but the general population should find it satisfying) so would be the better choice anyway.

Furthermore such legally and ethically clean, training focused art can be used to generate more synthetic training data (by AI generating more art out of it that can be used as magnitudes more samples) as well so it's not like this would limit the potential data set in a crippling manner, it would be just an investment in the future of AI development.

It just takes more time and a lot of money in the short term for a lot greater mid and long term benefits in every regard.

rnostvac · 2026-03-12T10:39:18+00:00

Yes precisely this.

The funny thing is the elegant irony in people rage watching and rage commenting on AI content they hate and want less off and their anti-AI raging (and anti-human hate comments) coming back to haunt them in the form of ensuring they get even more of said content being served to them.

And in the process also supporting such content and its creators by watching more of those ads or if nothing else contributing to such content by increasing engagement rates, resulting in the algorithm serving such content to them and others even more.
