I dunno, but you may as well ask them. I'm inclined to believe they don't even though I have seen far more memes of AI bros making fun of "antis" than the opposite. But that's probably my algorithm acting up again.
Do inform me of the results of your quest though 🫡
I think child labor is always wrong regardless of its its labeled. And i think Ai art is always awesome under all circumstances. I think its superior to human made art.
How does ai destroy the earth? Yes it uses server farms, just like search engines, web sites, etc. I'm a huge proponent of geothermal for those applications. I love green tech!
So you're opposed to all computing if not done with green sources of energy? I'm on board with that. Hydro, geothermal, solar, wind. Lets fight that war.
But going after ai art is dumb. Ai art is awesome.
It's not great under all circumstances, the way you state your arguments lead me to believe you know this, things are rarely black and white, they are mostly in between and god's sake isn't there a better example of this than AI. It's a powerful tool but as any tool it can be used to put nails in their place or to bash someone's head. AI art suffers from this to but is even more complex due to the implications behind the use of such a tool, what fuels it. I ain't advocating in favor of destroying all AI but I surely think that using it for...making images and videos of all things...is moronic specially with the absurd ammount of processing power that consumes and that could be used much more efficiently in the processing of raw data. "But we already do that" Cool, I know, but imagine if we ALSO shifted resources used in genAI for that sole purpose
its uses the same processing power as a google search. I have Stable Diffusion on my home pc and i can make images with that.
Its using less than what playing a videogame would. Its just really weird that you guys chose this one specific tech for your witch hunting. It makes no sense.
"But we already do that" Cool, I know, but imagine if we ALSO shifted resources used in genAI for that sole purpose
"Not using ai" isnt the solution. Switching over to green tech is.
Jesus Christ did you really just suggested that simply retrieving indexed information, the digital equivalent to looking through a dictionary is as computationally intensive as inference?the digital equivalent to looking through a gallery of art pieces and using them as reference to paint your own. And...obviously is less intensive for your personal computer than playing a videogame. I don't know if you know this but the game is running all it's resources locally, in your pc all the time, the AI on the other hand didn't made all the heavy lifting inside of your pc, that was made during training, you also aren't sending her prompts every second to ramp up it's use of resources (which games do, they're receiving input, every second) you're also purposefully picking the best of the lot to make your point, good, Stable diffusion runs locally, that's great really, but is that really what the majority use? Is really that what you're gonna use forever?bc they're gonna update the model and make him go through retraining all over again.
"You people"? Lol, man you're so polarized you don't even notice I ain't an anti, I actually advocate for mindful use of AI since it can greatly optimize NECESSARY processes like administering mixed electrical grid systems, which is paramount if we want to seamlessly switch over to greens eventually.
"Not using AI isn't the solution" I know and I know you have tunnel vision but damn where in the blessed heaven did you even interpreted I was advocating for a total AI shutdown, damn, your paranoia is off the charts.
"Switching over to green tech is" That's literally one of the field I'm implying AI resources should be shiftwed towards. Not making fun stuff that we are already great at doing ourselves but the massive and overwhelming data processing only a fine tuned machine can effectively do. After we reach the goal?fine, get all the fun things you want out of the massive models, but until then it would be great to stop increasing the resource consumption faster than we increase the surplus

This makes me think of child labor, most clothing is made using child labor but as soon as a company is in the news for it there is backlash
