Lol careful posting anything that isn’t negative about AI on Lemmy. They hate AI here
Lemme is very pro-piracy so that’s kind of a silly statement. It’s also worth noting that AI is clearly transformative. Collage is literally legal, how could AI be stealing?
The problem is that it’s making the field hyper competitive by “stealing” jobs, but photoshop and photography did this as well in their time.
No one cried about translators losing their niche because of Google since just like generative AI, it benefits society as a whole in the end.
[Lemmy] is very pro-piracy
There’s a bit of a difference, I’d say. Piracy hurts massive companies that already have tons of money to spare and (to be frank) don’t need any more. AI hurts individual artists that barely make a living as is. It’s like comparing Robin Hood to whatever the inverse of Robin Hood is (OpenAI, I guess). Point is, I have zero issue with generative AI, I do however have issue with the companies behind it. If all of their data was sourced ethically, and the people creating the training data actually got compensation, I’d be fine with it. Everything can be a tool for high effort and low effort content, it’s just increasingly insulting to creators that their work is being stolen and then twisted into something with considerably less effort that makes more money than they could ever hope to make. In other words, dead internet theory.
