Honestly if so-called AI didn't burn down a kilometer of rain forest every time it generated a picture of an ape I'd be 100% okay with it. I do not care about intellectual property or petty bouj concerns about artists losing their ability to profit from their labor.
Get proletarianized lol 🤷♀️
And if it wasn't AI then it'd be some other insanity like NFTs, the real problem is absolutely the capitalist system that allocates resources in absurd ways.
What’s that joke? Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that?
Same idea here.
You’d find about half of people whose creativity level being lower than the “average” (technically, mean). If Gen AI is learnt from the totality of our collective knowledge, it should help those on the lower half of the curve much more than those above the curve. However, since Gen AI itself is not able to create new concepts, the collective end up creating more of the same stuff that Gen AI is regurgitating from its training material.
I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing. This doesn’t apply only to creativity but all spectrum of general knowledge, and should help with raising equity and equality for the humanity at large.
Right, it's basically the lowest common denominator. I'd also argue that this phenomenon is present without AI as well. People often copy or remix existing works, in many cases without even consciously realizing it. AI just speeds up the process if anything.
Oh cool individualism is gonna monotonize art.
