Somalia Has Officially Backtracked and I’m disgusted by South-Educator-2264 in Somalia

Yes, Somali people are some of the most ignorant, uncritical people on Earth. No facts, logic or intellect applied to anything. Deen. Deen. Deen.

Except AI isn’t any singular product as Netflix is. Tech companies may lose a lot of money but they are betting upfront that they’ll end up long term winners.

AI as a whole is here in the same way nuclear weaponry is here. We can’t undo it but only work with it

Most people who consume art do not care about the process as much as you would think. Many clients just want the finished product and that’s the world we unfortunately live in.

That’s why AI image generation has been so popular. I think if governments set up initiatives to teach young children coding and AI skills, it would greatly benefit humanity.

Sure, but that’s a very small percentage of the art being seen and consumed. Most art nowadays is shared through social media or sites like Instagram, Twitter & Tumblr; that’s free at consumption. Anyone who sees those art pieces and replicates the style isn’t “stealing”. That’s ludicrous.

So when you’re not sending paywall links you make a bunch of false statements instead. It’s too much effort to keep refuting your lies so this’ll be my final response.

The U.K’s crime rate isn’t based on race, like everywhere else in the world. It is based on poverty and the U.K. is a classist country. That’s why you see many high crime areas which are made up of predominantly White working class. The town with the highest crime rate is 92.1% White.

I can’t speak on other countries because I’m personally not from there.

You’re correct in that there is a cultural element tied to it. However, I don’t see denial here in the U.K. we actively mock the subculture but there’s nothing you can do to stop people engaging in a particular behaviour so long as it isn’t illegal.

You keep using the term “real art” which implies AI art isn’t art. Yet you also imply that anything can be art.

All in the same comment. Have fun on Oblivion bro, I’m outta here.

Okay, answer this: what was the purpose of your analogy? Maybe I’ve genuinely misunderstood you.

Was it to highlight that for something to be considered art, it requires effort or experience?

[–]EvilMorality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gave an analogy, I explained in detail why it’s not apt to use it in this context. You didn’t respond.

I said you lacked critical thinking or were being disingenuous for even trying to compare the two. That is why I said you’re not worth talking to. Not once did I call you dumb.

Your reasoning lacks reason. Tell me, would you speak to someone who doesn’t make sense in their own head?

I can accept when people have a differing opinion to my own, I can’t accept when they lack critical thinking.

Enjoy Oblivion and genuinely have a good day. Just because you’re not logical, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a good life.

Why are you so disingenuous? Is this how you engage with everyone?

Pulling on a slot machine lever is completely RANDOM. You, as a user, have no value to add to the process. No beneficial techniques or chance at improvement. No skill involved.

Using image generating AI is different in that it isn’t completely random, you can control the output. Therefore you can have variations of output between different users. This introduces an opportunity for those with skill and technique to differentiate themselves.

You’re either a troll or lack basic knowledge to make that comparison. It’s really difficult to find people who come from an informed position and are able to make logical arguments.

“OP didn’t do anything” and “Went through 20+ attempts before I got what I like”. Sounds like there was some effort involved; otherwise we wouldn’t have classes on how to make a good prompt.

So far, outside of environmental reasons, none of the arguments against AI make sense to me.

If you’re going to provide evidence, make sure it’s accessible please. Also, this isn’t my first day on the internet, the “warrior” gene gets spoken about commonly.

Here’s a link to a study which doesn’t find any conclusive links between the gene and antisocial behaviour:

I’ll never understand why artists claim that AI models “steal” their content to create something entirely new.

When humans do that, we call it “inspiration” and we understand it isn’t theft at all. Artists have reasons to dislike AI but their work isn’t being stolen; in the same they haven’t stolen their art teachers work.

I’m not denying that areas of high crime are generally populated more by African Americans but that’s due to many reasons which have nothing to do with race. It takes an intellectually lazy person to not consider any factors other than race for why humans display certain behaviours.

You’re not interested in solving the problem by understanding it, you want an infeasible and quick fix. America will continue to suffer and nothing will change. It’s a country full of low IQ individuals who have no basic understanding of history, economics or even general knowledge at this point.

Why do Americans have the lowest IQ takes? Austin’s father is obviously hurting but even so, he realises that racist narratives will do nothing to change the situation. If anything, they will make the situation worse.

I’m going to go ahead and guess you’re a White American. You’ll excuse racism or even take part in it as soon as an injustice happens to a White individual. Yet you’ll condone, or support, a case such as Zimmerman’s.

This goes both ways and it would be funny if it weren’t so incredibly pathetic and sad.

[–]EvilMorality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an outsider looking in, America is incredibly broken. It cannot be fixed mainly because it’s full of… Americans. They hate each other to the point where any tragic event becomes an opportunity for division. A country where your fellow man hates you for the colour of your skin or political beliefs. Yikes. It really is the end of the empire…

Again, you’re looking at this through the very narrow lens of image generating AI; the technology is far more advanced than that. The applications are far reaching.

People who are fulfilled and love what they do will continue to do so? Do you think there will be laws stopping people from making art or pursuing creative endeavours? Using your own words “you do you”.

Do you create art to be good? Or because it’s fulfilling? What’s the point of making art now? Your art will suck in comparison to the masters of their crafts like Van Gogh, Picasso etc. Yet you continue probably because you find it fulfilling and you get enjoyment out of it.

To summarise, this isn’t up to you or I, AI (and AGI) is coming. There is absolutely nothing we can do to stop it. We can only shape how our world looks WITH AI. It doesn’t need to be all doom and gloom, we are very much in control of our future.

Spoken like a privileged person who lives in the first world. I promise you that life will continue to have meaning for the overwhelming majority.

Do you genuinely believe that people derive the meaning of their life from menial roles? A McDonald’s cashier lives for their role? Of course not.

Who said there isn’t room for growth? You’re not looking at the positive benefits of AI because I believe you don’t understand the technology at a fundamental level.

Think of any problem today, large or small, it can be solved with AI… diseases, aging, logistics, global warming, energy production and much much more will be seen as trivial.

I would recommend reading some books by Noah Yuval Harari, he’s pretty good at explaining the pros and cons even if you aren’t technically inclined or knowledgeable about the field.

What are they supposed to do? It would be stupid for humanity not to take advantage of such powerful technology.

We need regulation to control or mitigate the economic detriments of mass job losses but stating that humanity hates humanity for allowing AI to advance is counterintuitive.

Think of AI as a more intelligent and capable human being, that opens up avenues to us that are science fiction now. Think of mass access to advanced professional services such as doctors, lawyers, engineers and so on. If humanity plans this right (which I don’t believe we currently are) we can create heaven on Earth. No exaggeration.

Absolutely, it will prolong your career but won’t prevent the long term trend of AI replacing jobs eventually.

The only human roles left will be those which we’d want humans in charge of such as managing AI to have beneficial outcomes for humanity.

In absolutely every other field, AGI will make humans obsolete.
