Eh, you’re welcome here.

And the reason things are so bleak is because most people only have words to go off of, rather than actions.

Showing up to a protest is also an action. So is smashing someone’s car. Do you think you can feed the hungry purely by posting thoughts on social media?

Oh. Well then, replace “AI” with “generative AI”. I may have been a bit confused there. In that case, we are perfectly fine without generative AI, and it has guzzled resources and manpower. For such a cost, what is the return? You can look at this Hill article, or you can look at fake studies, or other ways GenAI has been harmful. Stuff like the A* search algorithm didn’t require jumbo subsidies for it to work properly, and it isn’t making the internet as it is worse.

So that’s what I’m saying. I have yet to find an argument proving, successfully, that generative AI is worth the cost.

AI has existed for less than a decade. We are fine without AI. You can’t just look at something still being built, with loads of problems, and call it irreplaceable. Nobody depends on AI for their survival, they depend on water, clean air, and other resources that AI is taking away. It’s also taking people’s jobs that, again, they need for their survival.

Stop emulating Elon Musk and get some sleep.

And what’s the point of developing this technology, anyway? What problem does destroying the veracity of photographs solve?

Oh, it didn’t actually link to 12ft.io. It’s still very useful for overcoming paywalls, tho.

Make sure to use 12ft.io to get over the paywall.

I’m should add b12 “It is used to impersonate celebrities” and b13 “It is used to sell scams” next draft. Found this thanks to Flying Squid

I mean, I doubt that an organization dedicated to shifting public perception would use AI for pornography lmao

Although I do not agree with Anarcho-Capitalists (there’s no way to really make an AnCap society), intellectual property is indeed a menace.

Thanks. That was a pretty bad argument. I should’ve stuck with news articles.

Well, at least it isn’t as frightening as I thought. Artists won’t be able to be replaced if AI runs out of power.

They’re all archived at the YouTube link Guess there’s no need

I archived the first. 2nd, 3rd is already archived. Will do 4th

No clue. Probably people who don’t want this to be known.

Ai combines things that other people have made before into something else. Usually the Mona Lisa does not have my face. Then I spent around and hour in stable diffusion and maybe two hours in gimp. Now the Mona Lisa has my face. I would call this new, as the Mona Lisa, to my knowledge, has never before had my face on it. Let alone looked like my face belonged on it.

Dude, just use Photoshop. That’s all you have to do. You just cut out the face of Lisa and put your own. You can also use blurring to make it look better. “Ai” isn’t needed.

A prompt engineer is nowhere near a tarot card user. Tarot cards do not contribute to a gigantic machine that eats job opportunities and spits out misinfo.

Alright then, here’s what I think about your sources. A lot of these seem like technologies that won’t really help the plain folk. I’m sorry if this is a bit long, but I made sure to put time into this because I find it very important.

Source 1: I’m not sure if this type of tech, that being neural networks “trained” on previous data, is actually going to help scientists find out what supernovae explosions are like. This is simply a composition of all the explosions the data is trained on. A better process is this designing of an airplane wing. This uses algorithms with vars that actually represent physical variables, like lift and friction, to find the best airplane wing design, instead of feeding a neural network airplane wing designs that work. It ended up performing a bit better than expected because of real-world variables.

Source 2: The problem this AI is trying to solve is brought on by hospitals purposefully laying off staff. However, I really like this quote.

The AI, dubbed MyEleanor, isn’t designed to replace human navigators, Moadel-Robblee explained. “She” calls patients who didn’t show up or canceled their colonoscopy appointments. If they pick up, she has two primary directives: transfer them over to a human navigator and, if the patient consents, guide them through a brief survey on why they missed their appointment. “Our virtual navigator, she doesn’t sleep. So she can call earlier, later, or on different days. The navigators that are human are invaluable. They have the human touch. We can’t replace them, but we can supplement,” Moadel-Robblee said.

I think that this is technically a good thing, but it’s very small compared to the jobs lost from AI.

Source 3: First off, three people already beat this robot to the punch.

The first dishwasher to be granted a patent was invented in 1850 by Joel Houghton. It was a wooden box that used a hand-turned wheel to splash water on dirty dishes, and it had scrubbers. Ten years later, inventor L.A. Alexander improved on Houghton’s machine by adding a “geared mechanism that allowed the user to spin racked dishes through a tub of water,” according to an entry on reference website ThoughtCo. But the person we have to thank for the modern-day dishwasher is Josephine Cochran (sometimes spelled Cochrane). Her machine was the first to use water pressure instead of scrubbers to clean dishes—which made it more efficient than Houghton’s or Alexander’s versions.

After that, the article is almost nothing like you described. The reporter is going off from a promotional video by people clearly trying to bedazzle investors. Then, the article itself states that “[i]t’s unlikely that Figure 01 is using ChatGPT itself”, and ruminates on advancements that would only happen “[s]hould everything in the video work as claimed”. It’s just AI hype.

Overall, this technology is not “benefiting humanity”. I like how open you are about things, tho.

Edit: I made sure that my statements were not in accidentally in a quote.

The types of places they’re on are the mainstream sites (Reddit & Twitter), and I don’t want to go there unless I have to. I honestly think a big part of the push for AI isn’t popularity at all. Nobody really likes it that much. It’s purely oligarchs who try to make their product look good to investors, and who see it as a way to replace human workers immensely easily. I’m unsure where the cryptocurrency-using techbros come from, tho. Maybe they’re bot accounts held by very few people.
