"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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Don't hate AI because copyright is being violated. Copyright was just invented and expanded to protect corporate profits. It has never and will never be something to protect artists.
They will do the same here. Copyright will be changed to favor corporate profits. The only thing that will happen is that Disney and other big media corporations want a piece of the pie. No law favouring copyright protection with AI will EVER be for artists benefits.
This is just corporate infighting. They'll definitely say that it's to "protect artists". It's not. Copyright never has been about protecting artists.
I bet the only reason we have access to AI right now is to entice us with it... Once they sort out laws and how they can use if for "them" it'll be off limits to the common person.
And you also know it will be fully raped with limits, ads, and algorithms.
To the common person. Maybe. But China seems to be pretty willing to fuck with America for the time being and keeps creating more efficient and more application specific AI models (while the US is just chasing some dream of a generalized AI that is hitting a brick wall hard).
I think the actual useful AI models we use in 10 years will be much more like what China is focusing on; and a generalized AI will not actually be achievable.
