I don't like AI. I don't like technology really. My life was just fine before the webz.

AI scrappers

I want AI for exactly one thing: helping me put my own thoughts into words. A GPT-3 machine trained in 2021 it's perfectly good enough for that. For everything else, I want simple if-this-then-that programming.

Cool story. Care if I participate?

ok so technically the definition of art isn't really a defined thing. The most likely point one could use is "that it isn't human" and honestly, yeah. But i imagine that's why "ai art" is the term people use instead.

Art it art, it doesn't matter what constitutes it, or how good or bad it is. If it's art, it's art. It's technically just that simple.

I also wouldn't classify it as theft, considering that's pretty similar to how human learning works. You ever look at a genre of art and notice they're all pretty similar? There's a reason. Could it break copyright? Probably, does it? No, probably not, should it? Probably.

it's funny to me that people are specifically pissing and shitting themselves about AI in particular, and not capitalism, and the fact that society is just ok with pushing it's working force out of the market if it means making less money. Where were these people when we got rid of our manufacturing sector?

You hate big capitalism fucking up your life? Me to, let's go commit arson or something (for legal reasons, this is a joke, it's hyperbolic, the humor is in the fact that committing a crime would do more for society than the following), instead of bitching about bill gates existing or whatever the fuck people do now.

Love AI. Hope it bankrupts every artist so I no longer have to hear about them bitching about "stealing art"
