It's almost like something happened in 2020-now that is causing these problems.

ignoring everything the pandemic response specialists were saying was good for the economy tho. State governors and federal agencies with no medical experience and no economics education told us so

for the record im not technially 100% anti-AI, in the sense that its a broad category of tech being lumped under one umbrella term so it feels over-zealous to say i hate all of it all the time forever. but i also think trying to discuss what it actually IS good for is difficult right now when i cant take one step without something trying to convince me to use chatgpt to summarize my life and speed up my hobbies and turn my friends into chatbots and optimize my life into oblivion. i am certain there is nuance to the topic but can we stop cramming the square peg into the round hole before you start trying to sell me on the legitimate benefits of the square peg. please.

[sinnegantheworm]

here's my super-quick, easy-to-digest summary that i use when i can't spend more than like 15 seconds on it but need someone to know the basic distinctions:

generative AI - bad evil AI. chatbots, LLMs, image generators, etc. this the one that steals shit.

analytical AI - helpful medical AI. this the one that helps detect cancer early.

game "AI" - fake AI. 100% human created and dictated. this the one that determines game mob behavior n stuff.

[resemblingthegrave]

losing the battle with my own self-control so will briefly comment and say that categorizing certain types of ai as straightforwardly good and other types as "bad evil," even for the sake of summary, doesn't really hold water. just to give two counterexamples to the distinctions drawn above, large language models ("evil") are being used by human rights groups to parse huge datasets about police abuse while analytical ai ("helpful") is also the kind of ai that animates facial recognition software and the increasingly ubiquitous searchable license plate databases that police are using to stalk people. the goodness or badness of a given ai tool has less to do with its type and more to do with things like scale and scope, transparency, ownership, and contextual application.

[prometheus-rewound]

The thing is the tool isn’t the problem, and that’s what people miss. LLMs are not inherently evil or bad. The issue is what it’s trained on and how. If a company is scraping all our data and stealing from artists THAT is the evil thing. Tools that allow the police to become more and more militarized and spy on people is bad.

Companies want people to assume all AI is their corrupt programs so that people think that they HAVE to steal “it’s either ChatGPT or get left behind”, as if there aren’t so many other ways AI can be used and that you can say no to them while still being future-minded.

[deepseasmetro]

i just seriously cannot stand you people, how is it that the FIRST example you have to give for "evil AI" is fucking "stealing from artists" (it's not stealing, by the way, anymore than piracy or netflix password sharing is 'stealing', ffs). who cares? who fucking cares?

people are being round up into death camps. people are being sent to prison for decades for carrying zines on them. people are being tracked across several state lines and getting arrested for getting abortions. and you people STILL fucking care about "ART THEFT"!! is that all that matters? the worthless and pathetic class interests of the bourgeoise and the artisan class? that's the touchstone political issue? that's the thing you list first? it's not even worth listing!

it's not even, oh, the loss of privacy via web scraping. the possibility of these datasets including medical documentation or CSAM. the possibility of a data breach involving this shit. NOPE it's SCRAPING SHIT FROM DEVIANT ART!

what a joke. what a joke! society is collapsing around you, and you care about the people further up the ladder than you. good fucking god.
