In my job I write a lot of bullshit sentences that I'd rather a machine write for me. But the solution is to make it so I don't have to write bullshit sentences, not to get a machine to write bullshit.
Honestly I'm so sick and tired of the creative types giving the same shitty takes on AI over and over again
"WhY Is AI MaKiNg aRt iNsTeAd oF RePlAcInG JoBs wE DoN'T WaNt"
Maybe because it's much easier to create a plug in for photoshop than it is to build and program a robot that can identify and unclog your drains?
Like it really seems like these people think AI engineers sit in meetings and go "okay, we can either free the working class from their chains or end world hunger. Which one should we pick?"
"That's boring, can we just automate erotic anime art instead?"
I used to think AI was a helpful tool, but now I see it is scraping absolute garbage because people are absolute garbage, so now the AI output will be absolute garbage, just exponentially faster.
I'm very conflicted about this. I'd reckon that the majority of us working on these AI and robotics systems do so to try to make the world a better place; so that maybe one day people won't have to slave away in warehouses all day and pee in bottles because they can't take the time to use the bathroom. Those good intentions always get corrupted by corporations and greed. So do we stop trying to push the envelope? Do we not try to make the world a better place for fear that it'll be corrupted? I really just don't know
It is so funny to see that AIBros are exactly like Creeptobros/NFTBros of their time. Saying that "you're gonna miss out", "you're luddites" and all that jazz. So what's next? They gonna tell me "have fun staying poor" too? Lmfao.
Just like the former, they are completely okay with stealing from others, cuz they are literally worthless without the data they have hoarded outta so many people.
They should keep going, so that more people will see them for what they truly are. :P
A horse looks at a car something something. The technology is here to stay and has it's uses, the tech industry will get bored of it's limitations and a new thing will come along for us to scream at. AI has practical applications but I don't think you should dismiss it entirely on principle. I think it's about learning to use this technology practically and ethically in the long run.
I want AI for exactly one thing: helping me put my own thoughts into words. A GPT-3 machine trained in 2021 it's perfectly good enough for that. For everything else, I want simple if-this-then-that programming.
For the umpteenth time if it’s requiring human generated input, it’s not AI. A human is still at the wheel telling a computer what to do even if it’s doing evil bidding. It is but a program that still had a bunch of lines put in BY A HUMAN to start the algorithm. Cons are still conning.
Too many people making wild techno phobe assumptions and missing the point they are still being fucked over by another human. Not a computer. Pinning it on as AI as if we’re powerless is misinformation to what is actually happening.
AI art is real and good from a socialist viewpoint. AI in general is great tech and I love it, I want more of that and less of the corpos and the bourgeoise "b-b-but my IP!" artbros
AI is just a tool. It's like a computer. Right now it's possibilities look limitless, but soon we will know the limitations and it will just be another tool in our toolbox. It will drive some people out of jobs... mostly for the betterment of society, but the disruption will be hard for anyone who is working one of those jobs, so there will be complaining. For example, is it really good for society to have people reading prearranged scripts off a screen at massive soul killing call centers?
As will all technological innovations there are advantages and disadvantages. Learn to adopt the advantages and look to fix or attack the disadvantages. IMHO, the biggest issues will be in privacy and monitoring, so we should be looking for laws and protections we look to put in place to shield ourselves from this.
If you don't like it, don't use it. But this will be like computers, robotics, and cell phones. If you go full Luddite, you'll be left in the dust in both in culture and job prospects. This is change and change is scary, but the old adage of "adapt or die" still holds true.
ok so technically the definition of art isn't really a defined thing. The most likely point one could use is "that it isn't human" and honestly, yeah. But i imagine that's why "ai art" is the term people use instead.
Art it art, it doesn't matter what constitutes it, or how good or bad it is. If it's art, it's art. It's technically just that simple.
I also wouldn't classify it as theft, considering that's pretty similar to how human learning works. You ever look at a genre of art and notice they're all pretty similar? There's a reason. Could it break copyright? Probably, does it? No, probably not, should it? Probably.
it's funny to me that people are specifically pissing and shitting themselves about AI in particular, and not capitalism, and the fact that society is just ok with pushing it's working force out of the market if it means making less money. Where were these people when we got rid of our manufacturing sector?
You hate big capitalism fucking up your life? Me to, let's go commit arson or something (for legal reasons, this is a joke, it's hyperbolic, the humor is in the fact that committing a crime would do more for society than the following), instead of bitching about bill gates existing or whatever the fuck people do now.
Sounds like she's worried someone will make an AI specifically trained on feminist literature and talking points to do her tweeting for her so she has the time to actually go to therapy and deal with her issues.
Lmao at all the luddites angry at a new open source piece of tech who are using a niche open source forum to yell at the clouds for being left behind by technology
Edit: All the downvotes in the world wont stop me from using AI gen, nor will it stop you from being left behind
2nd Edit: Keep feeding my block list knuckle draggers, it hasnt had fuel like this since I started blocking Tankies
Using technology to make a post complaining about technology. The very platform being used contributes to "tech bro capitalism" but AI is crossing the line? What a weird take.
So what, Luddite? Make it even harder to transition to a non-capitalist world? Banning AI will make it harder, it's much easier to transition to a post scarcity world when the tech to do so already exists and is accepted.
