  AI doesn’t copy things anymore than a person copies them by attending a concert or museum.

    This is such a bizarre rejection of reality

      Yeah this scum probably downloaded a few cars back in the days

        Sigh, more censorship.

        We need better communities that let people decide for themselves what they get to see.

    This is 100% correct. You can downvote this person all you want but their not wrong!

    A painter doesn’t own anything to the estate of Rembrandt because they took inspiration from his paintings.

      So if you take away all the copywrited training data then it makes the same images?

      • mechoman444@lemmy.world ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        No. And that’s the point…

    You need to learn how your god functions.

    If it needs training data then it is effectively copying the training data.

  why do you say AI is a universally regarded negative?

  source

  • HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Because overall people don’t like it, particularly when it comes to creating “art.”

      I am aware of a lot of people who are very gung-ho about AI. I don’t know if anybody has actually tried to make a comprehensive survey about people’s disposition toward AI. I wouldn’t expect Lemmy to be representative.

    Because pretty much nobody wants it or likes it.

      That’s just not true, chatgpt & co are hugely popular, which is a big part of the issue.

        Nazism was hugely popular in Germany in the early 20th century, but was it a good thing?

        Hugely popular, mostly with a bunch of dorks nobody likes that much.

        People are getting the message now, but when it first came out, there were so many posts about what ChatGPT had to say about the topic, and the posters never seemed to understand why nobody cared.

      I want it and I like it. I’ve been using llms for years now with great benefit to myself.

      Like any tool one just needs to know how to use them. Apparently you don’t.

      I think you’re mistaken – there are a large number of people who vehemently dislike it.

    I don’t know the rest but I hate the spending of resources to feed the AI datacenters. It’s not normal building a nuclear powerplant to feed ONE data center.

      You’ve explained your personal opinion, and while I think it’s a sensible opinion, I was asking about the universal opinion on AI. And I don’t think there is a consensus that it’s bad. Like I don’t even understand how that’s controversial – everywhere you look, people are talking about AI in broadly mixed terms.
