People talk about OpenAI as if its some utopian saviour that's going to revolutionise society. When in reality its a large corporation flooding the internet with terrible low-quality content using machine learning models that have existed for years. And the fields it is "automating" are creative ones that specifically require a human touch, like art and writing. Language learning models and image generation isn't going to improve anything. They're not "AI" and they never will be. Hopefully when AI does exist and does start automating everything we'll have a better economic system though :D
- The thing that amazes me the most about AI Discourse is, we all learned in Theory of Computation that general AI is impossible. My best guess is that people with a CS degree who believe in AI slept through all their classes.
  
  The existence of natural intelligence is the proof that artificial intelligence is possible.
  
  We can simulate all manner of physics using a computer, but we can't simulate a brain using a computer? I'm having a real hard time believing that. Brains aren't magic.
  
  we all learned in Theory of Computation that general AI is impossible.
  I strongly suspect it is you who has misunderstood your CS courses. Can you provide some concrete evidence for why general AI is impossible?
Good. Technology always makes strides before the law can catch up. The issue with this is that multi million dollar companies use these gaps in the law to get away with legally gray and morally black actions all in the name of profits.
Edit: This video is the best way to educate yourself on why ai art and writing is bad when it steals from people like most ai programs currently do. I know it's long, but it's broken up into chapters if you can't watch the whole thing.
- Totally agree. I don't care that my data was used for training, but I do care that it's used for profit in a way that only a company with big budget lawyers can manage
"Massive Trouble"
Step 1 - Scrape everyone's data to make your LLM and make a high profile deal worth $10B
Step 2 - Get sued by everyone whose data you scraped
Step 3 - Settle and everyone in the class will be eligible for $5 credit using ChatGPT-4
Step 4 - Bask in the influx of new data
Step 5 - Profit
Hope it goes through and sets a president.
- I think you mean precident
It’s wild to see people in the piracy community of all places have an issue with someone benefiting from data they got online for free.
- Many of us are sharing without reward and have strong ethical beliefs regarding for-profit distribution of material versus non-profit sharing.
Piracy isn't stealing and neither is this.
