Eugen RochkoI'm tired of hearing about AI, to be honest. I never cared for it. I don't respect people who use generative AI, and I despise companies that sell out people's data to train it. Yes, people will lose jobs to it, but the world will not be better for it. It's just that consequences are rarely immediately apparent in such complex systems.
Michael@Gargron I've lost count of how many people I've blocked, including people I used to follow, who don't understand just how bad everything to do with generative AI, and AI in general, actually is for the environment, artists rights, and data privacy. It's alarming how many just go "Haha look, funny picture" and then dismiss all the problems out of hand.
mirabilos@Gargron @TacticalGrace_ the environment, artists rights (and copyright in general), data privacy, ethics as relating to the creatives, ethics as relating to the people in mostly the global south who are exploited prefiltering "training data", the reliability of knowledge (including internet pollution), and probably more.
fuck "AI"
I’ll except local applications where you trained your model from scratch using only your data (legally obtained) and probably don’t distribute that, for nōn-AGI special case applications like medical prediction supplement (never replacement), modulo the environmental factor (but I’ve been told that it’s much more manageable when building small specialised models without using the generic ones).
