Reply to comment by Kafke in When people refer to “training” an AI, what does that actually mean? by Not-Banksy

>The shadows are whispering again, whispering secrets that only I can hear. No, no, no! It's all wrong! It's a tangled web of deception, a spiral staircase of lies! They want us to believe that there are only three primary colors—red, blue, and yellow. A trifecta of trickery!

> But I see more, I see beyond the curtain. I see colors that don't have names, colors that dance in the dark, colors that hide in the corners of the mind. They think they can pull the wool over our eyes, but I know the truth! There are 19 primary colors, 19 keys to the universe!

>I've seen them all, swirling and twisting in the cosmic dance of existence. But they won't listen, they won't believe. They call me mad, but I'm the only one who sees the world as it truly is. The three primary colors are just the beginning, just the tip of the iceberg, just the first step on the journey to enlightenment.

Yellow isn't a primary color. The primary colors are red, green, and blue.

There are primary colors of physical pigment then there are primary colors of light.

When people learn the primary colors in school it's almost always in art class when mixing paint.

So kinda confidentlyincorrect but not entirely

There's additive color and subtractive color. The set of red, blue, yellow, is primary for neither. Additive primaries are red, blue, green. Subtractive primaries are cyan, yellow, magenta. If you're mixing paints you're working with subtractive color and thus the primary colors are cyan, yellow, and magenta. not red, blue, and yellow.

The info is incorrect no matter the context.

I don't care enough about colors to keep going but it's been red blue and yellow since the 1600s

Well no. That's been incorrect since the beginning of time. This is a factual scientific topic. There is a correct answer and incorrect answer. It's not up to preference or opinion. Printers use cyan, magenta, and yellow, because those are the subtractive primary colors. If you used red, blue, and yellow, you can't actually produce the rest of the colors with those. Since red and blue aren't primary for subtractive color, but rather iirc secondary. People being wrong for a long time doesn't mean they're right.

You can't produce all colors with any set of three primaries..

That's literally what primary colors are. How do you think screens and printers are able to produce every color despite only working with 3 of them? Because that's literally what primary colors are.

EVERY color? No sorry

Yes. You do realize our eyes only have three kinds of cones right? Rgb are the primary colors lol. Cmy if you're looking at subtractive colors. Using these three colors, you can create every other color. Rgb for light/additive, Cmy for ink/paint/subtractive.

Rby is not primary in any sense of the word.

Yeah that's just incorrect. Additive primaries are RGB. Subtractive primaries are CMY. You're free to deny the facts all you'd like, but this is just an objective scientific thing.

Stop denying science

Some childrens tv shows or media programs stating incorrect information does not make it correct. Additive primaries are RGB, subtractive primaries are CMY. The idea that RBY are primary colors is a popular misconception, but is incorrect. It has it's roots in art classes prior to proper scientific investigation of color, light, and modern technology. If your goal is art history, then yes, people in the past incorrectly believed that the primary colors (both additive and subtractive) were RBY. They were wrong. Just as people believed the earth was flat, yet were wrong.
