Then there's always that one guy who's like "what about memes?"
MSpaint memes are waaaaay funnier than Ai memes, if only due to being a little bit ass.
Ass is the most important thing in a meme
EDIT: I feel like I could have written this better but I will stand by it nonetheless
Plus it let people with...let's say no creative ability to speak of to be nice about it...make memes.
Some many in these comments are like "what about the ethical source data ones?"
Which ones? Name one.
None of the big ones are. Wtf is ethically sourced? E.g. Ebay wants to collect data for ai shit. My mom has an account, and she could opt out of them using her data but when I told her about it, she told me that she didn't understand. And she moved on. She just didn't understand what the fuck they are doing and why she might should care. But I guess it is "ethically" sourced as they kinda asked by making it opt out, I guess.
That surely is very ethical and you can not critic it for it... As we all know, an 50yo adult fucking a 14yo would also be totally cool as long as the 14yo doesn't say no. Right? That is how our moral compass work. /S
Fucking disgusting. All of you tech bro complain about people not getting ai or tech in general and then talk about ethically sourced data. I spit on you.
I love IT, I work in it and I live it, but I have morals and you could too
Edit: after a bunch of messages telling me that I am wrong. I wonder when they will realize that they are making my point. I am saying that it isn't ethically sourced without consent and uninformed consent isn't consent. And they are tell me, an it professional with an interest in how machine learning functions ever since alphago and 7 years before the ai hype, that I don't understand it. If I don't understand it, what makes you believe the general public understands and can consent to it. If I am wrong about ai, I am wrong about ai but I am not wrong about the unethical nature of that data, people don't understand it.
I don't mean to "um achtually" you or diminish the point you're making, but I would like to highlight one example of an ethnically trained AI.
Voice Swap pay artist to come in and record data for training, the artist then get royalties any time someone uses their voice. I discovered it through Benn Jordan's video about poising music track from AI training.
Yeah, except royalties in music are almost always a joke. Those artists are going to make much less off their AI voice than if they actually appeared in studio and the end product is going to be worse. If AI cost the same or more, there would be no market for it. Relevant story about Hollywood actors who sold AI likenesses.
Even if it was actually "ethically trained", the end result is still horrible.
Also, paying to have an AI Snoop Dogg in your song is the lamest shit I've ever heard.
Which ones? Name one.
What's wrong with what Pleias or AllenAI are doing? Those are using only data on the public domain or suitably licensed, and are not burning tons of watts on the process. They release everything as open source. For real. Public everything. Not the shit that Meta is doing, or the weights-only DeepSeek.
It's incredible seeing this shit over and over, specially in a place like Lemmy, where the people are supposed to be thinking outside the box, and being used to stuff which is less mainstream, like Linux, or, well, the fucking fediverse.
Imagine people saying "yeah, fuck operating systems and software" because their only experience has been Microsoft Windows. Yes, those companies/NGOs are not making the rounds on the news much, but they exist, the same way that Linux existed 20 years ago, and it was our daily driver.
Do I hate OpenAI? Heck, yeah, of course I do. And the other big companies that are doing horrible things with AI. But I don't hate all in AI because I happen to not be an ignorant that sees only the 99% of it.
AllenAi has datasets based on
GitHub, reddit, Wikipedia and "web pages".
I wouldn't call any of them ethically sourced.
"Webpages" as it is vague as fuck and makes me question if they requested consent of the creators.
"Gutenberg project" is the funniest tho.
Writing GitHub, reddit and Wikipedia, tells be very clearly that they didn't. They might asked the providers but that is not the creator. Whether or not the provider have a license for the data is irrelevant on a moral ground unless it was an opt-in for the creator. Also it has to be clearly communicated. Giving consent is not "not saying no", it is a yes. Uninformed consent is not consent.
When someone post on Reddit in 2005 and forgot their password, they can't delete their content from it. They didn't post it with the knowledge that it will be used for ai training. They didn't consent to it.
Gutenberg project... Dead author didn't consent to their work being used to destroy a profession that they clearly loved.
So I bothered to check out 1 dataset of the names that you dropped and it was unethical. I don't understand why people don't get it.
What is wrong? That you think that they are ethical when the first dataset that I look at, already isn't.
We generally had the reasonable rule that property ends at dead. Intellectual property extending beyond the grave is corporatist 21st century bullshit. In the past all writing got quickly into the public domain like it should. Depending on country within in at least 25 years of the publishing date to the authors dead. Project Gutenberg reflects the law and reasonable practice to allow writing to go into the public domain.
ITT: People who didn’t check the community name
Damn, I had no idea the Game UI DB guy was so based. Huge respect from me.
Tfw a community is called fuck_ai so you decide to march in and defend honour of Sam Altman.
It's the same with c/Linux and folks marching in and defending Windows to the death. Some people just like to be contrarian ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Honestly, I didn't intend to block a dozen AI Bros today, but this has been like shooting fish in a barrel.
Totally lost, can someone give me a tldr?
It's a person who runs a database of game UI's being contacted by people who want to train AI models on all of the data en masse.
As an artist, all y'all need to chill. The problem is capitalism, and it's not like artists make a living anyway. Democratizing art opens up a lot of possibilities, you technophobes.
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
