If it is so bad then why do so many artists cry about it “stealing their work”?
Because people at the top think AI is cool and use stolen work to do faster AND worst work to gain time and money. Bro, you think people at the top know a thing about art? Nah, they are just in for the money and the sauce.
Let me give you an image so you understand very well what happens with AI. Let's say that you are training and making art to get hired in an amazing compagny or to work on an amazing piece of art or media. Let's say that you have given everything into your craft...
Now AI, is similar to a guy, taking your work and the work of another artist just like you, putting your work together without extra work to make them sync together and
MAKING PROFIT OUT OF IT OR getting
HIRED because of this process that they repeat again and
AGAIN.
This is why artist are mad at people stealing their jobs. Not because of the process (altough it is unethical) but because the process is used to BYPASS them with their
OWN WORK.
Do you get it?
Evidently its output has some value. It isn’t perfect and often is slop. Which is why you ought to use it for drafting, brainstorming, reviews, and refinement. But you can’t rely on it to do everything.
No. Any writer, any artist, any composer will tell you the same thing:
It's
Always
Slop.
And even if it wasn't, it's still unethical, making it slop by essence.
Regardless I think uncritically just hating a form of technology just isn’t rational. It’s not a solution to everything but it has its uses.
There is no "uncritical" hate of AI. There is a uncritical acceptance of this technology. It's your acceptance that is not rationnal. Not mine.
You see AI making constant slop without questionning it
You see artist being stolen without being annoyed
You see reality being bend without being worried
You see AI destroying the gathering of accurate information on a global scale without being scared
You see AI being used to make propaganda more effectively without being furious
You see AI being implemented everywhere to a risk of the explosion of the world's economy without being freaked out
You see Billionnaire ruining the environment because of AI without wanting to do anything about it
You see AI workers being exploited to the point of being tortured without being angry
You see AI being used as a reason to completely strip millions if not BILLIONS of workers out of their work without being enraged
You are not rationnal for thinking that AI is inevitable. You are falling into the fallacious thinking of the inevitable progress of technology and history.
Technology is not inevitable. We can prevent it to grow if we need it.
Believing that it is impossible to stop it and believing that it is something we would need at this precise moment of complete geopolitical and social apocalypse is not only not rational, but also utterly
DELUSIONAL and absolutely
SUICIDAL.
