  • I realise I was a little aggressive and there is no way to know if OC is an AI “artist”. The automatic hate for specifically image generators is fair though, since nothing about them is good. They are trained with stolen art, a lot of the people who make it are trying to make real artists obsolete with it and it is contributing to the internet becoming less and less human.

    Hating all AI universally is a bit silly though, especially models like AlphaFold, which have saved lots of lives with the work it and its creators have done.





  • Most people can’t host their own AI. The only AI most people are aware of and the models that are pushed in everyone’s face are the horrible ones. I think a blanket hatred for all AI is stupid but it isn’t stupid to assume an AI is unethical because it most likely is, especially if it is a commercial one tech bros are posting about on corporate social media.

    As long as more people aren’t being told about the possibility of ethical AI there will be a large group of people wishing for its failure, especially since it has ruined so many parts of the internet, with both a locally hosted model or a model like chatGPT.






  • The stuff that gets made fun of by most anti AI people is AI “art” that people try to argue is equivalent to real, human art.

    The main reason people hate AI in general is because nearly all models use data that was taken without permission of the owner of it.

    It isn’t equivalent to bottled water, it is equivalent to the chocolate industry, it isn’t essential, so I will wait until an AI that was trained ethically without stealing data is made and doesn’t try to replace human art.


  • I am very strongly anti-AI, I think it has some legitimate uses that have probably saved and improved a lot of lives (like AlphaFold). My main problem (and most people’s main problem with it) is the way it has been trained with stolen data and art.

    Since I don’t know much about non-corporate AI I am interested to know how an open-source LLM just trained off of your bookmarks would work, I assumed it would still need to be trained off of stolen data still so it can form sentences as well as the more popular models but I may be wrong, maybe the volume of data needed for a system like that is small enough that it can just be trained off of data willingly donated to it? I doubt it though.
