a lot of people i know irl including me like ai,however when i use reddit or youtube or whatever i see a dozen ai bad content. why is that? surely they wouldnt have invested trillons on it if it was garbage

People don’t like that generative AI is based on stolen content. People don’t like that it’s being forced into everything. People don’t like that it isn’t even good at most of the things it tries to do. People definitely hate it’s attempts at ‘music’ and ‘art.’ People don’t like it’s immense energy costs. People don’t like that it might render them, and everyone else, unemployed. People don’t like that they’re owned by oligarchs.
Oligarchs invested trillions in the hope of firing us all and no longer paying us wages. You need to get some class consciousness.
Long before AI, people on the Internet were fairly likely to dislike copyright and correctly insist that copying is not theft.
How the times have changed.
I dislike copyright when it protects corporations.
I think copyright is good when it prevents individuals from getting exploited by corporations.
It’s not so much the stolen content that’s the problem, it’s them selling it on, or even more egregiously, replacing the people they stole the content from originally.
Stealing from rich person = good Stealing from poor person= bad
Robin hood has been a thing for centuries
I fail to see the relevance because both AI companies and other Internet users certainly sometimes (arguably) infringe copyrights held by rich people and sometimes those held by poor people.
i still do that,thats why idc that ai uses “stolen” content. bec i too pirate,if i can pirate then they can do it too.
you know how people pirating music did very little to hurt music sales, but how spotify has lowered the income of most of the world’s musicians?
it’s like that.
Been pirating books for a while. And in doing so, found a few authors I really like, so I ended up preordering some of their books and even recommending them to friends. AI doesn’t ever preorder their books, and will probably not recommend them to random people without being paid to advertise by the author. Which is why the argument of, “I pirate, so what’s the difference if AI does it?” kinda falls flat in my mind.
This is what frustrates me, the lack of any nuance whatsoever. I run local models, and am passionately against oligarchy. I don’t support them in the least.
My inner child still can’t get over how freakin cool AI actually is, at the technical level. And all anyone hears when I say how amazing the actual tech is, they tune me out and talk about whatever it is they’re trying to talk about.
And who made your local models?
That’s the rub. Local models have some positives, but overall the source for them is a negative. And the worst thing is, we can’t fix that now. We can’t undo what’s been done, we can’t start over with new data that is fair, and we can’t seem to get AI out of where it’s been jammed in.
What? I didn’t pay anything. I didn’t contribute to any oligarchy. What is your point by asking that question?
this is just the internet these days, people just go out in search of people to yell at so they can feel something
