Comment on What the AI Obsession Tells Us About Our Own Society

AI craze? No joke, my brother’s birthday is tomorrow. I asked chatgpt to create a cartoon of him, asked tropo to turn that into a 3d model and printed a model of him as a cartoon. A totally exclusive and awesome little model of.him. I’m sorry, I work in cyber and I still have my mind blown from the infinite possibilities and how much you can fast track a process. When I started High school we didn’t had Internet and Iphones and now I can have anything I imagine in my hands in 2 hours. Fucking awesome

If you could imagine it, you wouldn’t have to ask a robot to imagine it for you.
I also work in “cyber” and my mind only gets blown by how the infinite possibilities have been constrained to those which generate profits for middlemen and how the only processes that get fast-tracked are the ones designed to squeeze more profit out of the same customer base.

Wow calm down fidel. You are taking this to a very political side. I’m not american btw. I’m talking about that it is awesome to see technology evolving so fast and bringing new this to our lifes. Maybe this is a political community and I was wrong to post here but This was not at all a political post

Everything is political, especially new technology. We can’t have a real conversation about generative models without talking about how they impair the creative process, devalue the very concept of art, and are themselves the product of mass copyright infringement, to say nothing of the economic bubble of their overinvestment or all the people being put out of work by asshole bosses who still think they can replace them with LLMs and GANs.
I do genuinely hope that your brother was delighted by your gift, but I’d be disappointed in my brother if he gifted such a thing to me. A handwritten letter would show more care and attention than a computationally-derived and automatically-fabricated figurine.

I’m sorry to hear that, if everything is political to you I imagine you must be experiencing a very hard life situation. I don’t have a reason to make it all political because in my country we have a lot of support from the Gov.
Not for me. It was a tool to help me execute my creativity a lot like photoshop. I didn’t had to spend 3/4 days modeling.
Well I don’t have a word here because I pirate shows, movies, book etc. Have you ever?!
My boss can’t really do that in my country because we have strict labour laws and very powerful unions, if that is not your experience your country should vote better
well besides the fact that you suck the joy out of a fun gift, you are focusing on the bad side of tech but a lot of good can come from it. In the 90s we didn’t had DNA technology and new tech + great minds, turned it possible to identify dead bodies, find missing people and murderes, Identify disorders and other genetc problems, and not to mention CRISPR tech that literally cure some cancers and save people. We wouldn’t have all that with only bright minds we also need to support them with technology.
Again if you experience with new tech is so negative, and if “everything is political” to you may be that it’s not a tech problem but a life problem and I really am sorry about that, but again not everyone has the same life experience.
