"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.

Of course it is. Just because they can steal anything they want doesn't mean that's what everyday people wanna interact with. Pretty much everyone I know in my personal life feels extremely disappointed in themselves when they get tricked into thinking something isn't AI when it was. People naturally gravitate towards things that were made by humans, at least for the time being. Now is specifically not the time to give up because these companies are trying their hardest to normalize it.
These people making AI images, music, videos, books, podcasts, and literally everything are basically doing everything they do for selfish reasons. Their audience isn't other people, it's themselves. Ask any AI artist or AI musician who they are making it for and the majority will either say themselves or they are doing it exclusively to make money in some way. These people are not artists or writers. They're opportunists.
"And even if you can’t defend it from being stolen that doesn’t mean we should stop making things. Just because they’ve stolen from us doesn’t necessarily mean that people will actually want what they are creating with it."
While that is neeccesarily true i do honestly hate very much thinking that way of it just being pointless :(
Like i very much have Issues of where if i loose control of "my babys" which is be it Code or Art or Music i do feel sad and very angry :(
Like my Babys have been taken, copied deformed and violated basically in every form without my Consent :(
And while that Statement could obviously also be taken about Game Mods i do also feel theres a difference between imaginery "Cool" Stuff like Custom Levels for a Video Game or even Characters than AI No Soul Slop Stuff >.>
You can try and see how you can equip your babies with poison pills. That way if they get stolen and mangled into this AI garbage, they'll keep working to drag that whole shitpile down. They can be fighters for justice.
i did actually look into AI Poisoning but i am still super confused on how to make it work or as to what exactly is required, etc. >.<
