You can only say that if you also say that the creativity of human beings themselves is just a way to launder copyright.
He writeth best who stealeth best, all things both great and small. For greater minds that wrote them first, from nature stole them all. -- Totally me.
A lot of people in the comments are making a hard distinction between AI garbage/bullshit and the pure/genuine human-created thing, and the various ways in which we can keep this distinction alive. If only that was true, the bullshit part. You should start living with the idea that the AI generated content is NOT bullshit, because we're either already there or very close to it. The AI content will be of value, look g…
I think you are right, AI content will not be distinguishable from human content. What we really need to figure out is the direction that we are going as humanity. This planet must quickly become too small for us, human beings will not be needed anymore which means we need to find bigger challenges or we will self destruct out of pure laziness and self indulgence. Personally I don't think AI will only destroy creativ…

This false equivalency just keeps being made. Yeah absolutely, acceptable in case of humans and not acceptable in case of GPT. GPT is not human. It is employed by a human to get around having to benefit other humans with attention and money. Meanwhile human world is structured around fate, happiness of humans -- such things guide our considerations as to what to consider legal and what not. There are other difference…
Machines -- at least today -- are extensions of human beings, and pretty democratic, really, compared to history. You can't really talk about limiting machines without also limiting humans. GPT is a tool. Almost anyone can use tools much like it. So what are we trying to protect against?

I don't think there will be ads. We'll be able to run a local chatBot just like we run SD.
SD is only 4 GB in size, you can run it on one 8-10 GB GPU, GPT-3 is around 350 GB so around 100x more, 99% of humanity can't run it locally currently even if they wanted.

I’m not sure it’s Google’s fault at this point. Maybe it’s just that every site thinks they need to be SEO spam in order to be noticed. And so the internet has become a cesspool of stories about how this is the same recipe passed down in your family since Julius Caesar. There have been a ton of articles about how Google sucks lately. Well, maybe Google has gotten worse, but maybe the internet has just gotten worse. I…

This guy sums up pretty much how I felt about this since when those images started poring on social media. This will…
> This will serve, once again, capitalism and it's absurd race towards the bottom, lowest common denominator. What is the alternative? Are socialist economies known for producing great art? What is Venezuela producing? Cuba? North Korea? It seems far more likely to me that the American entertainment industry is just in a rut (as it tries to figure out streaming and adjust to the bad assumption that pandemic-level ent…
AI in the movie industry will absolutely accelerate the race to the bottom, and make mainstream entertainment even more shallow and empty.
In fact it's probably why movies nowadays are like 2h to 2h30 when they used to be 1h30. They're so shallow and empty and filled with noise that they have to stretch them out so it feels like you actually watched something.
edit: on further thought, maybe you know, movies are over? I mean clearly as much as I hate it, tiktok's success is showing us that people get far more stimulation from watching feeds - or maybe it is indeed since COVID & Netflix etc there is even fewer incentive to sit in a dark room with lots of other noisy people munching on their popcorns and kicking your seat while to try to enjoy a movie.
My point being I doubt that the movie industry will recover.
AI (generated art) is just another derived layer on top of that and which is still in its infancy.
We're already drowning in human generated garbage on the web. Sure, AI makes it worse, but we can't blame anything but our human compatriots and ourselves.
But everybody has an important viewpoint that they need to spread themselves and that you haven't or someone else hasn't already elucidated /s.
It's easy to dismiss AI-generated content as garbage, but it won't always be that way. Even now [1], some of the MidJourney creations and written text produced by AI are truly impressive. As AI technology continues to improve, we we'll see even more advanced models that can produce meta-articles on par with those produced by organizations like IPCC if feeded with scientific articles.
I'm not sure how to feel about all this. It's happening, it's going to get better, and it's going to change our lives. There's not much we can do to stop it, and I'm not even sure we should if we could.
