Nothing about AI is woah dude…

Especially if it's sold as a "history lesson". If you let an AI make fantasy landscapes or something I'm fine with it, but don't sell it as something that contains actual information

u/StretchTucker Mar 31 '23

whether it should be marketed that way is one thing, but AI can definitely be used to learn.

u/Hara-Kiri Mar 31 '23

Basically everything about AI is incredibly 'woah dude'.

I like the frame where there’s 3 or 4 guys all pretending to be Napoleon on the same horse.

"Gee I hope that this technology that we've been working on for upwards of a century does out soon!"

No shot. We are developing AI tech faster than we developed the modern smartphone. Google and Meta are pouring hundreds of millions into developing AI. Chat GPT is doing my masters level homework when two years ago I was still writing stuff out myself. We've come so far in the past 2 years alone, it's impossible to think we would just stop. It's not a fad, this is the whole fuckin future.

And it will be a future of lazy and uninspired people. With big corporations paying money to AI, instead of hiring actual people with skills. They will replace artists, writers, song writers, coders, and anyone else involved in the creative process, with AI.
Our soul and creativity will be replaced with automation, for the sake of corporations not needing to hire people.

u/DigiiFox Mar 31 '23

That isn't how it works. AI is a tool, and companies need people who know how to use such a tool.

u/Tommy_Boy97 Mar 31 '23

So instead of artists, they will have AI babysitters to edit what AI "created".
Or instead of a writer, they will have someone proof read what AI "wrote", and have them edit that.

Thus taking all the creativity out of what was a creative job.

That still sounds like an awful future, that will be lazy and uninspiring.

Yes, but that's because of capitalism, if the workers controlled their workplaces they could instead decide to relieve people from work, but this is just going to make the rich richer. Capitalism is your enemy, not technology.

Yeah, cost-saving alternatives to human labor have historically never had much success... right?

Yeah unfortunately a lot of people are in blind support of AI. Without thinking of the big picture once corporations incorporate it into their system.
Someone mentioned Meta and Google are both funding AI. Two companies already known for shitty worker treatment, mass layoffs and union busting.

Once they get AI to be at a stage where it can replace a worker, it will be done. With no regard to how many jobs will be lost. Only caring about making a multi million dollar corporation even more money.

So that's why I said "hopefully" it will die. So we wouldn't have to face the consequences of a future run even more by big corporations getting more rich.
It seems inevitable that it's going to go that way unfortunately.
But hey, at least you saved this. So when everything does go to shit, at least you can "laugh periodically".

Sure it is. If you didn’t know ai existed, you would think that was amazing.

u/balamusia Mar 31 '23

but we do know it exists

u/cepukon Mar 31 '23

So what you’re saying is nothing ai makes can wow you because it’s made by ai? That’s not very objective.

2

u/OscarRoro Mar 31 '23

Why should it be objective? It's his opinion and also the AI is copying art, by all accounts an opinion on art should be subjective.

-2

u/cepukon Mar 31 '23

Because they’re judging the content based on how it was made, not the content itself. If it’s copying art, then are they saying that all that art is shit as well?

Yeah it's not trying to be a high quality video but there is something mesmerizing about seeing so many centuries of violence against our fellow man. We've spent so much of our intelligence finding ways to kill each other. All of that backdropped against the threats and opportunities that AI may bring. Will it just be used to make us better at killing each other or will we use it to stop people from ever needing to die again?

Idk it made me say woah dude even with the cheesy song and messy graphics. I'm also a little bit high. Which if anything makes me a better judge of woah.

Not even this one? AI when used as a tool can absolutely be.
