Pack it in guys! A random person on Lemmy has told us it’s all over! Stop everything we’re doing and do nothing!
Well, can they?
32·25 days agoI’m not sure I understand your point. Are you saying that fan art cannot, by it’s very nature, by classed as original and therefore shouldn’t be able to be sold?
I have yet to meet any artist with this kind of deep anti-AI sentiment
Unfortunately this isn’t the case. Just look at the anti AI discourse from people like Steven Zapata or Karla Ortiz, or the discussion on platforms like Mother’s Basement or Art Cafe. There are plenty of artists who absolutely believe that AI art is worthless, without merit and is coming to destroy ‘real artists’.
I think that’s an overly simplistic description of how LLMs work, but I take your point. My response would be: how is a LLM trained on other artists work any different to a human artist taking inspiration from other human artists? Is an artist who creates fan art of Batman also derivative? In your argument it’s a clear breach of copyright, so should we be going after anyone who has ever drawn a picture of Batman as having broken the law?
You forgot to mention ‘AI slop’…
Well said. These anti AI arguments tend to be a prime example of protectionism. ‘Technology is great until it comes for my area of expertise, in which case my area of expertise must be protected at all costs because my work has greater value’.

This film appears to bear only superficial resemblance to the art in question. It also pisses me off that the trailer doesn’t even mention Simon in the first place.

However, the Port Authority of NSW said no oil spills had been reported by vessels.
Time may tell I guess…
Natural undersea oil leak somewhere?

Currently, maybe. But technology is fantastic at accuracy, better than humans in many regards. Gemini might have a way to go before it gets there, but it or its successors will get there and it’s moving fast.
Productivity is irrelevant here
I’m not sure it is. Productivity also refers to efficiency of services. If AI can make the services of the National Archives more productive for its staff and/or the public then surely that’s a good thing?

221·1 month agoStopping tax evasion by implementing a global tax cooperative so nations can stop competing in a downward race on tax rates
You may or may not be aware that the OECD has already begun implementing something like that:
Oh for sure. How we regulate AI (including how we power it) is really important, definitely.
Typical lack of nuance on the Internet, sadly. Everything has to be Bad or Good. Black or White. AI is either The best thing ever™ or The worst thing ever™. No room for anything in between. Considering negative news generates more clicks, you can see why the media tend to take the latter approach.
I also think much of the hate is just people jumping on the AI = bad band-wagon. Does it have issues? Absolutely. Is it perfect? Far from it. But the constant negativity has gotten tired. There’s a lot of fascinating discussion to be had around AI, especially in the art world, but God forbid you suggest it’s anything but responsible for the total collapse of civilisation as we know it…
Lucky we’ve got you to set us all straight, huh?
