You're mixing things up again. The AI-fying done on the drawing with the red background is of course a different thing altogether from the topic of data collection/scraping without consent for the fabrication of a latent diffusion model. Many would indeed agree that the "tool" is not responsible for what this AI-Jerk did…
People who had been winning by merit of their own hard won skills now become the losers Why? What does these people stop to use AI too? And to repeat it again, it's not that you can let your cleaning woman do the job now. It's the opposite, you need even more knowledge about art than before. You cannot simply start to…
The main question is, was luddism a success? The answer is obviously no. The reason for luddism was plain fear without to understand the consequences. And Ned Ludd is not more than a historical foot note nowadays. Usually luddist people knows very little about the matter and are hard to convince. They can't see the big…
wow, OK...I haven't posted in a long while, but with all the recent AI drama going on, I felt I needed to voice some concerns, and bring up some perhaps controversial thoughts and opinions. I feel a lot of the discussion so far has been either based on fear-mongering or naive short-term thinking. We pretty much have two…
@Tiles all the law is threat of violence, and almost exclusively it is used to protect the owning class, not the working class. So if you counter a threat of violence by pointing to the law you are just offloading your violence to somebody else. Doesn't put you above anything like you are not an angry chimp like all the…
Some information and (american) legal precedent on slapping the genie's stinky ass back into its utopian bottle : The FTC first used the approach in 2019, amid scandalous headlines that exposed Facebook’s privacy vulnerabilities and brought down political data and campaign consultancy Cambridge Analytica. The agency called…
I know that it feels wrong to you that AI looks at your images and then draws in your style. But feeling doesn't count. This part is simply not illegal. Style cannot be patented. Maybe in the future there is some regulation. But not now. Well I mean, it sort of counts. You seem to have this interesting viewpoint that it…
It´s not "hate" when you use common sense to call something what it is. Call us pencil-grabbers, paper scratchers, tablet tip worners (personally I prefer this one, because I have to put a new tip on my wacom anyway...). Find some name you would call us that would be accurate and would make us feel uncomfortable at the…
Unfortunately, similarly to how Kotaku readers and urinalists have no clue about how games are made, AI bros have no clue about the reality of the job as an illustrator or designer and what it takes to work on a project as a team. You currently talk with one of these AI bros that completely does not fit into this pattern.…
how can you search the database and find your medical information in form of pictures, if the pictures arent stored? How can you paint a picture if the image isn't stored in your brain? It both has the same answer. You learned the concept. This is what AI makes so fascinating. It learned what grass is, what a face is, and…
