No, i’m pretty sure im also against AI. Im against artist not being paid for their work and being replaced by subpar machine learning regurgitating their art without any sense

You’re literally talking about capitalism fucking over the artist here. There no reason the AI can’t be helping you do the boring shit in your work faster and why it shouldn’t only benifit you directly.

Capitalism is the economic model where the wealth created by the workers is owned by the people o whom the tools and resources required to created said wealth and not the workers who put in the work to create it.

Here is a comic that might help you understand:

You’re against computers being able to understand language, video, and images?

I’m against the current iteration of the buzzword that involves a bunch of wasted money being dumped into something that also generates a ton of energy use to get things somewhat correct rather than having it go towards actual needs we have affecting humanity.

Fusion’s close to a core need of humanity.

I agreed with the content of the essay.

Idk who chose the headline, cuz the author’s take is far more measured than that. (Probably an editor optimizing for clickbait?)

I would caution, though, that the author is specifically talking about:

  1. the creation of art
  2. the way AI is developed and deployed in our capitalist context

I think there are more valid concerns about AI beyond the scope of those two areas, but I can’t blame the author for focusing on their area of expertise.
