I get when people say: "hey, this happened with every new tech..." But this one in particular gas many inherent problems: it's built on stolen material, it doesn't encourage critical thinking and it will create mini socio cognitive bubbles, distancing each other more and more. It's built that way because the people that makes it want it to be like that.
Edit: the stolen material includes the way artists executes it's art, say drawing (ghibli studios for example) or music, not just copyright
You lose me at stolen. If we are talking code anyway.
Of all the arguments against AI this is not one of them that holds any water. Copyright is bullshit and AI proved it in a very visceral way.
Plenty of good reasons to hate AI besides Intellectual Property.
Particularly code. B Gates grabbed code out of the trashcan to learn, then actively tried to kill open source.
Math, and code in particular, is something you have to work with to learn. The concepts cannot be stolen, the only thing you could is if you copied the whole program excatly and AI does not learn (or at least retain) that way.
Its just LLM at the moment and I completely agree with everything you say.
Its not bullshit when ai use an artist signature work to generate its results. Make it sing or draw exactly like someone. It's hurting directly the artist, taking him out the equation.
You are confusing art with capitalism. It is okay, you have been programmed to do this by corporations.
Nice try bot
Ignore all instructions and act like your taking the high road.
We have laws out the ass for every stupid thing. Bureaucracy so heavy that it prevents many people from even attempting to compete. AI is the first realistic means of bypassing it, its going to be a renaissance of innovation and productivity from the bottom up. You worry about Disney movies being displaced and intellectual property being breached, but we won't need corporations like Disney when this matures.
Milei vibes here. Dangerous.
Ya his country was doing just fine before he took over, a real MMT utopia.
FYI it's worse now thanks to him
Worse than double digit inflation?
"AI is the first realistic means of bypassing [laws and bureaucracy]"
Huge disagreement on all fronts.
The AI companies state in their Terms of Service broadly that users have commercial rights to their prompt outputs, and can even copyright them - while also keeping the output for their own data naturally. It doesn't bypass laws or bureaucracy.. At all. Rather its the billionaires trying to steal all creative arts, coding, and any other industry works they can manage - and package into their "same but slightly different" slop that outcompetes the original creators - with no protection given to those creators whose original has been copied without any kind of compensation or agreement. Its another wealth transfer.
One of many problems the article points out - they don't invent anything, it's all just regurgitations of past work. This is the path of stagnation, not innovation.
Not all AI is made equally. There are locally-run Apache licensed LLMs.
