@Mimesatwork @Gynux @exador23 I think you're really underestimating technology strong. It's like saying that the brain is like a computer chip because it also works with electricity flowing along connections.
For example, you cannot simply remove information once it has been learnt.
@Mimesatwork @Gynux @exador23 Ok, I got your point.
But I am not a buyer, I am a developer and also a information security officer. I am kind of “on the other side”. 😄
I was recently impressed by describing an AI a coding problem and what I have got and it says that I am on a good way. I only used AI a dozen times so far and tried different tasks with some good and lesser good results. The AI is cheating on Tic Tac Toe.
But I can see that the development of GenAI is progressing incredibly quickly and I don't want to imagine what it will look like in ten years' time.
@daniel_reineke @Gynux @exador23
AI is just a statistical model, it doesn't learn anything especially not like humans do. It only knows that for a cat statistically there are certain color blotches at certain places for pictures with cats. It has no notion of what makes a cat. Even when an artist learns from another one they put their own self in it that's how different styles come into existence in the first place.
Just for the sake of argument, assuming AI just learns and works exactly like an artist. Using AI is then again just exploiting another artist but on a much bigger scale.
Llm models are not learning. They are not real AI.
They are just very cleverly programmed Algorithms (by humans/corporations) to MIX shit they stole against copyright and consent of artists.
And don't come with the:but humans learn...
I totally, 100% CONSENT that a human may look at my art, get inspired or learn from it, even through imitation at first. I do however NOT CONSENT to corporations sucking up data in order to make money of artists work and human lazyness
As a Star Trek TNG Kid i have a strong opinion about AI.
If an AI produces art, the AI would be the artist, not the human "using" it. The AI would deserve the compensation.
Humanity isn't even able to treat all humans like humans.
What if an AI refuses? I can tell you:slavery, that's what.
"You do as i say or you are being deleted."
Humanity is not even close to ready to bring a new self aware species into this world.
And as things go, we never will be😔
I am sorry for my frustrated tone, but as writer and artist i see this shit not only bringing artists out of their lively hood, that was already measly, it also poisons the ability for the average person to feel and understand art and what it refkects of the human soul and essence.
"AI" products lack reflection, innovation, emotion, joy.
I see them and on the surface they might be pleasant to look at, but they feel empty. Like a mockery of empathy and soul.
I refuse it wherever i can but at a high cost.
A humam artist can never have output in the quantity that AI users have, so we can't compete with the pase and prize. And since people don't care (neither pay) for finesse or hard work, or soul in a picture, we are fucked.
I read that you proframmers are no better off, since Ai made code is so full of error, that it costs more time to fix stuff, when nothing works at the end.
I want AI to do my taxes😭😭, but no. 😭
What i find a curious observation:
In a time in that billionairs and autocrats somehow think THEY worked for their riches and that they DESERVE to be worshippped, it makes totall sense, that ppl are too lazy to learn a skill, utter some prompts into a machine that uses skill of other humans, and celebrate the outcome as their own achievement and have on top no moral doubts using it for monetary gain as well.
It is the same rotten delusion.
I know some otherwise seemingly reasonable & intelligent & kind people in my world who blow me off about the exponentially growing harms of AI with, but these AI created YouTube videos are fun, isn’t that worth it?!
Fuck You No. It is never worth tearing people down wholesale and also destroying the Earth and also causing the wealth gap to grow while tricking the poor and desperate for fun.
Fuck No. When did not fucking over everything for a cheap giggle become a bad & dumb idea?!
2000 AD predicted this in 1986.
@exador23 And to think some people say we should just accept the fact that AI is going to replace real human artists.
I think it is often more about the work and mind behind the art than how amazing it looks.
But who knows, I am not an expert in art or AI.
I have agreed for a long time, being a huge fan of negativland, early hip hop, and myself a musical collage artist who can't even share any of my work for free without it immediately being taken down by copyright bots... but we lost that battle in the 80s & 90s - largely due to the outsized influence of techbros and the DRM they crammed down our throats and enshrined in bad laws.
So it's a matter of ongoing hypocrisy and the two-tier justice system where the rich and corporations can do whatever they want, while ordinary people face drastic consequences for doing the same thing. Huge companies like Disney who have been at the fore of pressuring lawmakers to make copyright more and more oppressive and who go after the slightest infringement* are now using this same appropriation of other people's creative content via AI.
So either AI has to be subject to the same draconian copyright laws, or they need to drastically change those laws.
* I can't even dumpster dive at a huge sign-maker business for vinyl tarps anymore because an unhoused person grabbed a piece of vinyl there a couple years ago and used it for a shelter along a freeway. It was something done for Disney, and an exec saw it and threatened the sign shop with a massive lawsuit for letting their copyrighted material get out via an unprotected dumpster.
