Ok real talk... What are your actual personal thoughts on AI?
(thelemmy.club)
Yeah we all hear the main arguments... AI is bad because of slop content, stealing from creators, brain rot & brain damage, privacy concerns and most importantly... how billionaires are just using it for their own selfish reasons
But I'm asking about YOU 🫵 personally. The individual. What do you really think about AI? Do you care or are you indifferent? Has it actually affected your day to day life?
i think that a lot of evil consequences of AI have more to do with its usage than the AI itself, sorry not sorry... people have convinced each other to end their lives and hurt each other since the dawn of time. i HATE reducing every negative human behaviour to a singular cause whether its video games, movies, internet forums etc. when historically, they happened even without them. if the internet shut down tommorow we would still have racism and violence just as we did in the 1600s, 1700s, 1800s etc.
i oppose genAI for creating photos and art because 1. its art theft 2. it can be used for propaganda. i believe that art is a universal luxury that should never be at anyones disposal. if you want art you have to pay.
the way the US goes about data centers is horrible. its mostly racial minorities and working class people who have to deal with it and its unacceptable
I believe that IP should be abolished. Redistribution is not theft.
ai art is theft
You cannot steal something that is not finite
you can steal someones art bro
Not theft, just garbage.
okay agree about the data centers, crisis of overproduction with the whole ai bubble going on. definitely will need to be rectified at some point. but since when did communists care about art theft lmao? you hear yourself? i would argue that them losing their class position is helpful, actually. perhaps they would lose their attachment to property while they are at it. because that kind of thinking certainly isn't indictive of being a revolutionary subject.
My understanding of the "ai art is theft" take in this context is like this. Making art is a form of labor, where one's artwork is the output of one's labor. Models trained on a particular artist's style can emulate the style of that artwork. Companies who build models trained this way profit off of that style emulation without compensating the artist. Their (unique) art (style) has thus been stolen, for another's profit.
I'm not trying to weigh in one way or another on the debate; just sharing how I understand what other people mean when they say ai art is theft. Perhaps I'm wrong in my understanding.
i suggest you read that thread on asklemmygrad about the new person asking why we support china. many people in the comments are breaking down why private property is not a moral term
