This doesn't need to be picked part to be appreciated

ai has stolen the artists' job, now we must do what it can't do: good art.

Ahhh yes, the old "reading on paper is big brain individual, reading on phone is mindless."

You saw a collection of trees, but not the forest, eh?

Interesting takeaway.

In my opinion this piece is a critique of how humans are stuck working even while commuting, while at the same time we have robots learning how to read, write, and draw.

Seems to be the relationship has flipped, wouldnt you say?

Same with "communicating over the internet isn't real communication."

I'm not saying that there aren't problems with how much we're communicating over the internet and how little we're communicating in real life, but the vast majority of humans in history would have considered the ability to send text messages to someone on the other side of the world in less than a second to be reserved for the gods above.

For real! This is like saying "telegrams are destroying our youth" back in the day.

Sure, real human interaction has value, but the ability to text someone on the other side of the planet instantly and have it translated is a huge leap forward not brain rot.

AI has the free time to study and be artistic. Not us. We must pay to exist.

What rent does the AI pay? Nothing.

No internet bill, no transportation bill, no phone bill, no food bill, no Healthcare/insurance bill.

you cant exploit ai. you cant whip a gpu into performing better, and you cant pressure algorithms into being smarter for the same amount of money invested to develop and run it.

the (capitalist) system works by exploiting us. machines will throw a monkey wrench in it if it can truly replace our labour.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

internet and housing do cost money for those running the model, as does the "food" (electricity). healthcare is achieved by taking it behind the barn, transportation is unnecessary, as are phones.

AI also isn't studying or being artistic. It has no real awareness of the concepts it's seemingly learning, at least not yet. AI as of right now is basically just statistical analysis of human-made information and art and predictive modelling of how a human might respond to a given prompt.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

AI as of right now

AI for the forseeable future

No need to mince words. Far too much of this terrible hype surrounding it is built on pure speculation of a future that we have no hard evidence is approaching. Just bold claims by people financially invested in selling the hype.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Someday, if it can sustain itself, it would need to pay for a living.

Right now, someone wants to have an AI. The person pays for it like a pet. But its too expensive, so it needs to give something in return.

We will see if it really benefited the energy costs and internet costs for those Companies who use intense amount of resources for AI.

everyone keep focussing on the using phone part and missed the part where the humans are still doing menial labor while the robots are doing what people would do to enjoy themselves.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Apparently most the people in this post are under 25 and are still dealing with their parents telling them to get off their phone on the daily.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

while the robots are doing what people would do to enjoy themselves.

and for the specific purpose of increasing profit margins of media companies who no longer have to pay artists and writers

If generative AI was merely a computer science endeavour, the 1% wouldn't be investing this heavily in it.
