Even on a more practical level, scientists typically want to run machine learning to sort through vast amounts of data, and only their data. The packages sold by AI companies involve training on untold amounts of (stolen) unspecified data that just make them unreliable for science. Different beasts.

Machine learning was being used in science before tech bro losers decided LLMs was going to be their next scam (after the utter travesty that was NFTs). AI is a marketing ploy and financial bubble threatening to cause a major economic crash. Machine learning and AI should not be lumped together.

This is also my hill to die on.
I'm a former gifted kid with most of my family in teaching related jobs. I went to art school and work in a field where people can often lament being bad at drawing. It always makes me sad they seem to think it's a inate trait and not a skill to learn if they want to.

Got the same issue when drawing on my tablet. I guess it's the OLED screen being very vibrant. Kinda hurts my digital painting training. Color is hard enough as it is, and even harder if I have to compensate for what it might look like on a regular screen.
But I say you did a great job either way :)

A neat trick is the same graph can be used to show the difference between millionaires and billionaires (more or less...)

Et je précise au cas où ce n'est pas clair. En utilisant Midjourney la mairie se rend complice de travail non rémunéré. Midjourney est une machine à plagiat qui vole le travail d'artistes pour alimenter ses bases de données. Tout travail mérite salaire, celui des artistes aussi.

Il y a plein d'artistes et illustrateurs à Mtp qui auraient fait un chouette boulot qui représente vraiment les montpelliérain.es. Il n'y a pas de bonne raison d'utiliser un outil qui détruit le droit d'auteur ainsi que la planète. Il faut juste avoir un peu de respect pour le travail des artistes.
