I'm going to keep saying this, but screw AI, or more specifically, screw generative AI.
I'm aware things like autofocus on modern cameras or fractal generators are technically a form of AI, but the difference between those and generative AI ala Midjourney, is autofocus augments the thing it's attached to instead of trying to destroy it, and fractal generators always make unique artwork by design, while generative AI is both actively out to destroy everything it touches and also blatantly and openly plagiarizes everyone.
Not to mention it can be used for more sinister, fascist use cases such as rigging elections on top of actively destroying everything it touches and committing blatant and open plagiarism.
I hate generative AI and everything it stands for.
I'm slowly working on an article on AI, covering all the bad and all the good (at the end of course). Please link me to any sources not already linked at the bottom of this blog post: trinityblair.com/stop-generati…Stop Generating AI "Content"
While the theft of content is bad enough, AI servers have a high demand for water and a large output for pollution making this an issue of ethics.Trinity Blair
