People in security and computing have been saying for years - there's no cloud. There's just someone else's computer.

Right now, there's no AI. There's just someone else's work.

Stop calling generative text and image programs AI. It's inaccurate and insulting. They are just the evolution of corporate creative theft that's been going on as long as media corporations have existed.

So, if I play a game of #chess against #Stockfish , is it stealing moves from human chess players (none of whom would be able to beat Stockfish in a match)?

@ianrosewrites For that matter, if I play Dwarf Fortress Classic, who actually wrote the "generated" world?

The obvious distinction is that current generative AIs are a lot worse at producing "artistic" writing than good human writers, whereas Stockfish is much better than any human chess player.

@ianrosewrites My university tried to use "Honorlock" for remote exams during 2020-2021, which uses "AI" to decide if students are cheating. The actual result was that instructors had to waste a lot of time manually overriding it, because it turns out current software can't actually tell if a student is cheating.

@183231bcb @ianrosewrites Chess is combinatorial with a reduced set of rules and a deterministic way of evaluating the best game. Art has nothing to do with it.
