Comment on Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design

  Some, yes, not all. No one company created the technology. You can’t use a blanket accusation to condemn all forms of machine learning just because Altman (OpenAI), Zuckerberg (Meta) and Elon Musk are obvious fascists, and they’re championing the technology. Call them out specifically, it’s more effective than “all AI bad.”

    I’m specifically talking about LLMs and generative AI. Those are NOT the same as machine learning because they don’t learn anything, they’re text predictive algorithms that were given infinite amounts of resources.

      And? They’re still tools. They exist. They can be used for things other than fascism. Just today I used an LLM to determine the area of a plot of land from a satellite photograph. I used generative AI to create a phone wallpaper background that matched my phone case.

      Did the fascists gain power over me?

      Do you think it have been better if I spent my time manually measuring the area, determining the math, and calculating the area of land? Should I have made an inferior version of the wallpaper manually?

      If you think so, you must have more time and creative talent than me. Enjoy your privilege, but don’t shame those without.

        I don’t think that’s possible unless the LLM has access to the satellite to mile ratio. Likely an hallucination.

        Stealing from artists 🙄

        Art is not about talent, it’s about continuous, rigorous training and improvement over years. It’s not a privilege. You can literally pick up a pencil and some paper and draw right now. It’s not something that is somehow inaccessible, hell I’ve seen a furry artist draw an anthro dragoness pin up with nothing but a burning stick and a rock. Also, there’s people out there that are completely paralyzed that can paint with their mouths. There’s millions of pictures in the internet that you could find to match your phone case that weren’t made with a plagiarism machine.
