AI Industry Struggles to Curb Misuse as Users Exploit Generative AI for Chaos::Artificial intelligence just can’t keep up with the human desire to see boobs and 9/11 memes, no matter how strong the guardrails are.
You know what else can make elmo knocking up an anime character while smoking pot? Paper and pen. These obsessions with regulating AI usage is not only impossible but also just plain stupid.
And brands are rushing in because they know it’s becoming trivial. Stable Diffusion already runs locally… in CUDA, because we can’t have nice things. But there’s no reason WebGPU can’t do it all, with a network that fits in smartphone RAM. Once that happens there will be vanishingly little demand for new cloud services that limit how much weird shit you can ask to see.
This is an unfair comparison.
Pen and paper art, or even using Photoshop require one to put in time and efforts and have skills. AI tools don’t.
Yeah printing is dangerous because it’ll be lot easy to write lewd, dangerous books! Back then you had to hire people to do so!
It honestly been really enlightening for me seeing all the same arguments that were made against the printing press and the camera being made against generative AI for text and images. Shows just how little people have changes over hundreds of years.
Ah yes, photorealistic images (and videos) are as effective as text.
Btw that also is an unfair argument because printing technology printed same book many times. You still need an author to write source text.
AI generates different images within minutes.
But please continue pretending AI generated images and videos are not a problem.
the printing press decreased the speed of publication by a larger margin (months to hours for a big book like the bible) and aguably kicked off a century of incredibly bloody warfare with luther and then the counter reformation.
I dont see how being able to get a decent image of Marx with tits from a few mins of generating images is so much more dangerous.
You still needed writers to come up with a new material for printing press. It only increased distribution of existing material.
Which isn’t case with machine generated text and images. You can get any hateful or depraved output within minutes.
That was exactly the point the church made against the printing press, without needing scribes anyone could come up with whatever foul heresy they liked and publish it for distribution.
The chief difference between now and then is what we consider unpermissable. Otherwise the agrument is the same, we cannot trust people to publish whatever they like or terrible things will happen.
It’s really not a problem. We have both open source and proprietary solutions for generative AI. If you have the hardware for it, you can generate images locally for free. If you don’t, just use one of the many available services.
It’s literally giving the power of expression to almost everyone, including artists.
Also let’s not talk about jobs/money. Technology replacing jobs isn’t something new and that’s what humanity should strive toward.
