"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.

Yep, this is the most important threat of Gen AI in my opinion. The erosion of trust, and the following devaluation of truth, is already hurting society so much. And it will only get worse.
Remember, it’s not just «did someone actually paint this?». It is also «did this actually happen?» and «did they actually say that?».
A promotional image I created for a local queer rally was deemed "AI" by the community (the image was actually the result of me sacrificing 8 hours of sleep.) The vitriol I was hit with, including one of my fellow committee members passive aggressively implying I was lying about it not being AI, was enough to make me no longer want to volunteer my time or skills for my own community.
Which is really fucking shitty. The increased lateral attacks happening because of Gen-AI pitting us against one another benefits those fucks at the top, and they didn't even have to work for it.
+1. I was releasing free fucking music for indie devs who didn't have budget or limited budget for this kinda stuff, some mf on reddit who was selling his music saw this, contacted admins to claim it was made via AI, then they took the post down without doing any investigation or even contacting me. Labeled as made with AI. I've worked in the industry for over 10 years, there's literally 0 reason for me to use AI to make music lol From that point onward I just pulled out all of my free libraries from public, if it's that easy to mislabel somebody's hard work, and only give the download codes for free for people who did contact me personally and that I was sure they were actually building something.
We're gonna have to record video of ourselves doing work at this rate.
Then they'll claim that video of you doing the work is also generated via AI. There's no way of convincing your regular joe once they made their mind up.
Though people will claim that, creating very long, consistent, and physically-accurate videos is beyond the capability or budget constraints of publicly available models, for now.
I see your point and would like to add, the issue is, some people are like bricks. Like, you could get a more logical reaction(!) from a brick than these people. You could literally paint something in front of them, and they'd still claim it's not your own work. Like, there's no way of proving your innocence/righteousness, no matter what evidence you put in front of them. I can not wrap my head how we can communicate with these people.
You're right that it is the only proof that might appease the masses at this point. That's what the committee has proposed going forward, too. And I'm feeling a little sour grapes about how the labour I am donating is growing exponentially just to try and outrun GenAI BS.
It really can't. It can fake short video clips, poorly, but the example they gave was of eight hours of labor.
I hate this part the most, it just helps alienate artists even further
10000%. Its really ruined everything. So many people like myself are just sticking to media made before 2018 ish. I follow very few artists today that I know are fully legit, but have zero trust for the majority.
Thats OK. I was listening to 60s music in the 90s so I was always an old fart.
what are your feelings about jazz? i just made some connections at a festival and all of these dudes hate llms
I mean I like all music. Mostly heavily into rock/indie, old prog, some dnb, metal, black metal, folk, bluegrass etc. I likejazz but dont seek it out beyond fusion like weather report . the only stuff i dont like is pop or stadium country. Not a huge fan of rap (hip hop thats creative is cool though).
Thats good to hear!!
i was looking for a specific performer but i just found a playlist of videos someone took at the festival I was at. i rather liked San Lyon. I think this is the singer's (Sabrina) channel.
