Fuck AI

"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.

Want to know what this tells me? The image is likely already in the training data.

[–] DrSoap@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Yep, that's all it is. Likely stolen by AI.

It's as if a master blacksmith who forged a set of threaded bolts used in the construction of a steam locomotive in the 1800s had their thread pitch and form design parameters copied as the basis for what would become codified as ASME B1.1-2024, the Unified Thread Standard; then, when a museum exhibit showcasing these fasteners was being moved, workers mistakenly used them to secure electrical conduit or some other mundane construction purpose.

People copy high quality work.

It's like a dystopian rendition of that "Is It Cake?" trend from a few years ago.

I lived through the birth and widespread adoption of the Internet and it’s becoming increasingly likely I’ll live through its death, too. You don’t realise you were in the good old days until they’re over.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

The good old days died years ago my friend.

Last time, someone on Lemmy posted a chapter by a 1800 poet and author, and it was labelled AI.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

An opening paragraph of a chapter from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, iirc.

Woa, I didn't know AI was that advanced at the time! /s (I saw the image)

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is likely on purpose. The goal is to normalize AI and make people feel like "everyone uses ai".

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 2 points 12 hours ago

I listen to a podcast backwards because i only dicovered them a few month ago. I'm in 2022 and it's pretty funny. They are now where midjurney just came out and talk about how amazing it is abd they need to use it more. They talk about the greatness of ai for like 15min a podcast. "I'll do all my thumbnails with it."

No one of tgem uses AI

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

People are using AI to determine what is or is not AI so that they can avoid AI

This is funny

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 260 points 1 day ago (27 children)

I bet this is because LLMs stole her art for training, so now that the LLM users have pumped out thousands of slop-art aping hers down to the colour palate and brushstrokes, her originals also get identified as also AI.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca -1 points 13 hours ago

Not really stole, she gave it to Meta willingly.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 97 points 1 day ago (3 children)

This is exactly it. Also the reason that inputting an excerpt of a classical text (cfr. Dracula, Frankenstein, ...) returns "likely AI" results - it's literally what it was trained on.

[–] Zombie@feddit.uk 62 points 1 day ago

For anyone doubting Kyrgizion's claim:

The stated goal is that we won't be able to tell the difference.

full reality distortion ... this tech is coming at a cost none of us can afford.

[–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

As someone who plays an instrument (but who was never good at writing songs) I'm scared for actual artist having to share their creative process just to prove they didn't use ai

Either be it my recording their tracks with video evidence and the waveform in the background, as many cover musicians are already doing, or by maybe sharing their creative process and their notes etc. Not only because it'll only be more AI training data to fake but also because it gives them more work just to show they are not making slop content, but also because sometime you kind of want to keep those things to yourself as an artist. Either because of personal reasons or because you want to kinda keep the listener in the dark with what might be the meaning behind a certain phrase/verse

Especially if you don't perform live as an artist life must be shit rn

Everyday I pray for the sun to shoot a suger Carrington bukkake onto the earth. We need a clean wipe.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know what a "suger Carrington bukkake" is but I am here for it.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

The Carrington Event was a massive geomagnetic storm in like 1859. If it happened today it would probably wipe out a ton of our electronics.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

Aww man I just got a new monitor :(

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

It would probably leave us without grid power for quite some time, maybe mess with a couple of satellites, but that's about it. It wouldn't be the end of the internet or set us back technologically or anything like that.

That's not to say it wouldn't be a terrible time. It could take years for some places to get reliable power back.

I'm sure they'll have the datacenters back up guzzling what's left of the water in a few days, though...

My friend has been posting stories of the meals he cooks. They all get labeled as made with AI...

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry you have to find out this way but your friend is AI and so are you

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

But the meals? Believe it or not, AI

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Really sucks this ruined everything. I have no motivation for art or music because anything made in this era is suspect now and no one has any integrity. Why even release music when people probably won't even listen to something that new. Should have stopped in 2012 boys.

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Artist here. I don't draw because I'm good at it. Or because other people are better at it than me.

I do it because I like it. A lot.

It makes me happy to be able to take something from my own brain and make it real enough that others can see it. I don't want to make a career out of it or anything. But being able to draw things for my friends for Christmas or birthdays is something that makes them happy. Drawing my own assets for games I'm programming, or sketching dumb stickers for friend group in-jokes on Discord is satisfying.

Please keep drawing. Please keep making music. You don't have to make anybody happy other than yourself. It's as normal an expression of humanity as dancing or singing.

The back edge of generated content that I don't see a lot of discussion about is mislabeling real content, accidentally or not. It's gonna have a monumental affect on how we consume media, even for those that want to avoid it.
