    What is the actual justification for this? Everyone has to pay for this except for AI companies, so AI can continue to develop into a universally regarded negative?

      AI doesn’t copy things anymore than a person copies them by attending a concert or museum.

        This is 100% correct. You can downvote this person all you want but their not wrong!

        A painter doesn’t own anything to the estate of Rembrandt because they took inspiration from his paintings.

        You need to learn how your god functions.

        If it needs training data then it is effectively copying the training data.

            Sigh, more censorship.

            We need better communities that let people decide for themselves what they get to see.

              Totally agree. This kind of crap started happening after the great reddit exodus of 23. Shitty reddit mods made their way to lemmy and this is what we get.

              If you wanna see something cool just type the word “trans” into your comment and watch the downvotes come in!

              Keep an eyeball on this comment! You’ll see!

      why do you say AI is a universally regarded negative?

      Edit: if you’re going to downvote me, can you explain why? I am not saying AI is a good thing here. I’m just asking for evidence that it’s universally disliked, i.e. there aren’t a lot of fans. It seems there are lots of people coming to the defense of AI in this thread, so it clearly isn’t universally disliked.

        Because overall people don’t like it, particularly when it comes to creating “art.”

          I am aware of a lot of people who are very gung-ho about AI. I don’t know if anybody has actually tried to make a comprehensive survey about people’s disposition toward AI. I wouldn’t expect Lemmy to be representative.

        I don’t know the rest but I hate the spending of resources to feed the AI datacenters. It’s not normal building a nuclear powerplant to feed ONE data center.

          You’ve explained your personal opinion, and while I think it’s a sensible opinion, I was asking about the universal opinion on AI. And I don’t think there is a consensus that it’s bad. Like I don’t even understand how that’s controversial – everywhere you look, people are talking about AI in broadly mixed terms.

          I think you’re mistaken – there are a large number of people who vehemently dislike it, why is probably why you think that.

          I want it and I like it. I’ve been using llms for years now with great benefit to myself.

          Like any tool one just needs to know how to use them. Apparently you don’t.

          That’s just not true, chatgpt & co are hugely popular, which is a big part of the issue.

            Nazism was hugely popular in Germany in the early 20th century, but was it a good thing?

              You do realize the root of this thread was this question, right?

              why do you say AI is a universally regarded negative?

              In the early 20th century, Nazism was not a universally regarded negative.

              Analogies are fallacies. All they do is reveal that you can’t argue the merits of the topic at hand, so you need to derail and distract by pivoting to something else.

              Now we need to debate the accuracy of your analogy, which is never 1:1, instead of talking about what we were talking about previously.

              You’re also arguing with the wrong person. You should be talking to the person who argued “AI is a negative because pretty much nobody likes it” instead of the person who says it’s not true that “nobody likes it.”

              You’re literally only looking for an angle to shit on AI so you can fit in with the average idiots.

              AI discussion at this point are litmus tests for who is average that lets other average people do their thinking for them. It really puts into perspective how much popular opinion should be scrutinized.

            Hugely popular, mostly with a bunch of dorks nobody likes that much.

            People are getting the message now, but when it first came out, there were so many posts about what ChatGPT had to say about the topic, and the posters never seemed to understand why nobody cared.
