I don’t get this. AI bros talk about how “in the near future” no one will “need” to be a writer, a filmmaker or a musician anymore, as you’ll be able to generate your own media with your own parameters and preferences on the fly. This, to me, feels like such an insane opinion. How can someone not value the ingenuity and creativity behind a work of art? Do these people not see or feel the human behind it all? And are these really opinions that you’ve encountered outside of the internet?
Nah it’s cool DW, no offence taken.
We should support AI only as research in the public sector that is open sourced, leveling the playing field, rather than Corpos amassing evermore power.
We can’t make AI go away, and I’m sorry to those who feel it cheapens their life’s work or passion, but we can make it belong to the people. It was after all public sector research that got us to this point in the first place.
Also, fuck Sam Altman and Elon Husk and all the corpos and grifters in charge of them.
