It’s the much faster thing which is catching people off guard. We are used to changes of existential significance taking place over millenniums and centuries, not decades and years.

Saying "people/ai/anything is stealing ideas" is inaccurate because the originator of the idea still has it!

I don't agree. The difference is humans are capable of creating something new. Being inspired by previous works. Currently, AI isn't creating something new because it doesn't think, reason, doesn't have lived experience, etc. It is an algorithm which given some inputs (the prompt) is predicting what...

And arguing we should limit it to save jobs is the same as saying we should fire heavy equipment operators and go back to using shovels.

To me, most of this discussion seems to be luddites, artists who's work is profoundly derivative, where they have little value to add other than their ability to use graphic design software, or people who don't even have that but simply wish that they were artistic and don't like that their dreams a...

Man has a body and consciousness with which he experiences the world, has emotions with which he reacts to it, and finally has a language with which to describe it. Reducing art to gluing together pieces of someone else's text or arranging pixels is close to ignorance. Especially since the phenomeno...

AI is just another tool, for the time being. Later, we can discuss whether AGI represents a new paradigm. I agree with you—we shouldn’t turn our backs on it. The smartest approach is to embrace and adapt to it; otherwise, we risk looking like those who once branded technological advances as wit...

copyright exists and trillion dollar corps arent exempt just becuz they are big data thieves either make everything copyright free or pay for it

I think it's an error to suggest computers learn. Computers process code.

If you buy that a violation of copyright is stealing, then 1) even cases where a human artist created a fundamentally new work but none the less “copied” the original work, it was considered copyright infringement. “Rogers v. Koons”. 2) The infrastructure of AI requires “copying” the wor...

Those who shun productive tech usually lose competitiveness in the long run

Humans are stealing from evolution.

Its not stealing in a statist sense, its just very disrespectful to the artist, if done without their permission. And everybody knows that they would not give permission. Ergo it is a gold mine, based almost entirely on disrespect. And like every new mine, its a gray area in law, giving companies mo...

There’s a huge difference between AI stealing, providing value for shareholders vs me stealing, providing food on my plate. The feeling of hunger is real, sure intermittent fasting is cool but it has its limits…

Yeah midcurve I think - I am an artist and using ai has been a joy so far. It’s like having a dedicated studio assistant. Something typically reserved for the hyper successful and or rich

We urgently need to revise our copyright laws! Implement cryptography, including personal and public keys, to establish ownership. Without an incentive, people won’t be motivated to be creative.
