"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I agree that the "fruits" of neural networks come from the proletarian artist, because without them, there cannot be any content made of this magnitude. The stunning images created by AI inherently rely on the labor of artists, so its commodity-value---its visual appeal---is thus identical to the labor-value that was scraped into its dataset. In layman's terms, the artists made the art, and AI imagery looks good because it was taken from that art.

I couldn't disagree more! We dont need new music? We don't need new content? That's absurd. What kind of naive opinion is that? Ai gives a person unprecedented power to create. That's fantastic!

Something else is the copyright issue. I don't know how to address that, but generally my idea of copyright is a bit different anyway. In any case the cat is out of the bag so the direction should be open source models.

What sort of life are you living where you still need more content, more so that the rate it's produced? People from all across the globe are making art using all sorts of tools, there are video games being made all the time, and all LLMs are doing right now is regurgitating the same garbage. Why is this development so important? This isn't taking a break from work, this isn't solving climate change, this isn't self-care or innovating in healthcare!

Automation is supposed to take time away from physically maufacturing goods so people can take time off to make art; why, then, when the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals are still out of reach, are you people trying to automate art?

Sucks that you can't even find anti AI comments on a fuck_ai post. My job in ML was so much more enjoyable before these lunatics had to attach an LLM call to their own rectums before shitting in the morning.

AI art just does what humans do with normal art. It qualifies and regurgitates it.

Imagine what human art would look like from a blind person. Without all the ingestion of other people's art, it wouldn't evolve into what it becomes.

You're looking at this in terms of the end product, but the difference is that machine all it does is create products while human (maybe only outside of the US, idk) make creations, wheather it looks similar to other creations or not.
