"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The ideas that copyright has been pushed to ludicrous extremes and that people deserve some control over what their creations are used for are not mutually exclusive ideas. AI is not simple piracy though it is something much more repulsive. There are many forms of piracy I can get behind and many pieces of media that now only exist because of piracy. Compare that to ai which mulches down people's creations, steals everything yet makes it unrecognisable enough that casual users won't notice and certainly won't find and become fans of the original sources. It ruins the ability for new artists to be discovered as now they have to fight a sea of slop just to get noticed.
That's not even getting started on the immeasurable stupidity of allowing corporate control over human creativity.
Ai and it's apologists are disgusting.
