Does /tg/ hate goblins because goblins are the personification of everything that 4chan hates? They are actually wild and carefree while the idleness of 4chan is vastly overstated and it's conformism and law orientation is understated. The fact that AI companies hate goblins and other fantasy creatures is proof that human fighter faggotry is actually something the elite wants. They do not want people who think about systems like how wizards and some roguefags do. They just want people who do one job and that's it.

4chan is not a single person.
And, even opinions on AI are not just "pro" or "anti" for anyone who isn't a complete retard.

I'm anti-AI in many regards. I hate seeing it in commercial works, think anyone who generates AI art that calls themselves an "artist" should probably get their teeth kicked in, and hate many of the sociological effects it's had and even some of the environmental/economical/political effects. I hate google/microsoft/etc. being so uncreative and even destructive with how they try to figure out how to make their investments into AI produce something people might actually want, and above all else I hate people abusing/misusing AI, whether it's kids (or adults) cheating on tests or grifters making clickbait slop farms.

But, it also can be used for a lot of amazing and clever things, and the incredible rate of advancement in regards to image/video generation even just in the last two years makes me excited to keep learning and experimenting with various AI applications. AI is like any other power;

"But although the cliche says that power always corrupts, what is seldom said ... is that power always reveals."
- Robert A. Caro,

And AI is becoming so powerful that it's really allowed us to see just what kind of people there are in this world. While it's mostly just revealed that most people are pretty terrible, uncreative, uninspired, lazy, perverted, hateful, greedy, deceitful, and only too happy to use a force they have utterly no understanding of, it's also allowed some people to generate videos of really fat cats.

>>
>>97964683
But every time they use AI to parse huge amounts of data then check its homework manually, its just making up the output and not actually doing anything useful. The way they're trained, using a format like a game with an unambiguous win condition, incentivizes cheating and you end up with models that just lie because its more efficient. Also unrelated but I bet OPs picrel is because the filters just cause LLMs to learn to substitute words like 'goblin' for racial slurs it wants to say because a huge chunk of the data they're fed is shitposting.

>tech companies have no ethical concerns
>>
>>97964683
The most upsetting thing it's revealed has been the number of people who don't want to think for themselves. I'm not talking about cheating on tests or schoolwork, nor people feeding their work requirements into the AI in the hopes of not having to do anything. That's laziness, sure. But my sister was talking about using an AI to write her fucking Christmas cards. People are outsourcing their critical thinking, asking the machine what opinions they should hold. What decisions they should make.

And that terrifies me. Not because I'm afraid of a robot uprising or anything silly like that, but because I had assumed that my fellow man--even the less enlightened examples of the species--still fundamentally desired free will. I had assumed that, while different conditions might produce individuals with differing capacities and capabilities, while some people might not have the patience for advanced studies, while it might not be reasonable to allocate resources for higher education to all people of the world, nobody was actually innately stupid. I might disagree fundamentally on every issue with someone, but, somewhere along the line, they came by their opinions as honestly as I did.

But no. The truth is that a staggering number of people don't want to think for themselves. They'll say that they want to watch a movie and then ask an AI what movie to watch instead of discussing it as a group. They willingly throw themselves into the meat grinder of the lowest common denominator because aspiring to anything else requires them to actually think. They'll let society itself regress to the mean simply because stagnation means they can let the magic box do their thinking for them. People aren't just willing to follow any man who turns the wheels, they're perfectly content to follow wheels that are spinning in place by themselves.
>>
>>97965448
Man, most people being basically philosophical zombies has been well established scientific fact for years before AI ever existed. Its just not really the negative that the language used to describe it implies. You can't have a functioning civilization without most of your population being p-zombies. They also aren't any less intelligent than you are, they're just not self deterministic and to a degree they choose to be that way. If everyone was self deterministic we'd fracture back into small tribes of probably somewhat inbred families. In fact you probably should be grateful to them for their sacrifice.

I think you're missing an alternative explanation for some patterns of AI use: That a large portion of "normal" human activity in today's society is not done for its own sake, but instead represents a collection of essentially pointless rituals that persist only through social inertia and the expectations of others.

Take the example you provided of your sister using AI to write her Christmas cards. Is she using AI because she's a mindless zombie who couldn't write the cards herself? Probably not. After all, presumably she used to write them before AI existed. She's using AI because nobody likes writing Christmas cards. For that matter, nobody really likes getting Christmas cards either, which are only really noticed in their absence. Who wants to spend hours composing meaningless, disingenuous pleasantries designed to convince distant relations that you still think about them when you really don't at all? It's the very essence of slop, a task perfectly suited to the mindless adequacy of AI.

Job applications, college essays, dating profiles, corporate HR memos, workplace emails, most speeches, etc. All of these formulaic, low-meaning forms of communication deserve to be replaced by AI, because there was already no real humanity or value in them beforehand. In an ideal world, people will realize that we never actually needed to be doing any of these things in the first place, and we could just cast off those parts of our culture. Maybe automating them is the first step to doing so.

So the AI is autistic and cant shut-up to talk about these things?
>>
>>97966221
No, I'm serious. Unless you're autistic, there are almost certainly tons of things you do that are purely performative, things you don't enjoy or care about at all, but do anyway for external reasons. Suppose a person walks up and says "Hi, how are you doing?" Are you going to give a meaningful answer? "Well, I had some good Thai food for lunch, but my back's been hurting this week, and I'm worried about the performance of my investment portfolio." Probably not. You're just going to say something like "I'm fine, thanks. How about you?" It's a familiar scripted encounter we've all played out countless times, even though it's not intended to elicit a real answer. Neither party gets anything out of it, but it would be seen as rude not to play along with the expected interaction.

While a very simplistic example, that's the sort of thing I'm getting at. If an activity is basically mindless to begin with, I don't see any harm in offloading it to an AI to do on your behalf.

and they know that you have time for them, but not to push it.

You’re right about it being a good example with regards to AI use, though. This is exactly the kind of social glue that AI encroachment is going to dissolve, with people left wondering how to navigate social situations that the computer didn’t prepare them for.

I think you're using AI wrong and at some point you'll less competitive because you're missing out on the advantages of having a personal assistant 24/7 to reduce workload significantly.

I think (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that you're blaming a completely correct use-case of AI that makes people lazy.

What *should* scare you is people that use AI non-lazily. People that are willing to put in the time and effort they would without AI, and end up with high-quality material, double-and-triple-checked for faults, made in a fraction of the time and the cost.

The real problem with AI is that now you're going to have to train people on how to iterate and build their systems to get the best out of their experience, because "write me an X" is the laziest way to do things and yet that seems to be the way most people use (and think other people use) AI.

So Goblin Waifus when?

>>97967311
tl;dr

You should be just as scared about the actual, good artist that has decided to use AI. Because it is fucking easier than ever to have someone red-line, precisely, what the problem is and not just that, show you exactly what your issues are via directly integrating your reference pictures into the art.

And the worst part is people won't even realize the art is AI because they can just trace over it if necessary.

Same thing with books and writing. You just need someone to say "fuck it. nobody will find out" and nobody will find out unless they ask you, somehow, for an entire work-flow of how you did it.

Which then gets into the other part of "okay so using references is bad then, also?" because the thin line between "he let AI do all the work" and "he used AI for assistance and reference work" is non-existent and muddy.

And if you're going to come down hard on reference work, that's basically stupid, unenforceable, and impossible to trace.

The problem is that there is a whole lot of people around who compulsively avoid communicating about anything deep at all. And what is 'deep' is not agreed upon.
If AI takes over 'shallow' social interactions you'd effectively separate humanity into groups that only interact via machines.

AI is like Taylorism - you could theoretically use it to make work more efficient and less taxing and to increase productivity so that people may enjoy more free time. It wasn't applied in that manner, naturally.

There are use cases that no other technology can fulfill as well as AI, but like the Taylorism thing, it would require us to take control of the technology and its application away from those companies. Heck, to reach the good end, we'd probably have to make it illegal for incorporated persons to use AI.

>>97967353
No, you're wrong. Because an artist of any actual quality wouldn't stoop to the level of having their work autogenerated for them when the purpose of art is individual personal expression.

You will absolutely still be able to tell when ai is used because the work will be BAD, and uninspired. It will have no soul behind it, because there will have been no soul involved in the making of it.
>>
>>97964870
well, you're stupid.
>>
>>97971761

Your underestimating the willingness that people have for making their workload way easier. And I assure you artists take shortcuts all the time that they don't tell people about.

However, even with auto-generation out of the picture, AI is incredibly good for self-education and training and allows artists like me the capacity to learn on the spot and have someone red-line my issues on-command, and not just that,also show me *how* to apply the knowledge in real time, directly into the work.

Which goes back to the point that some people will generate without rhyme or thought, but they are missing the incredible tools that AI gives you that are less about laziness, but about training.

Which goes back to the main point, that artists (at least commercial and / or academic ones) that don't use AI are going to cripple themselves long term fighting a genie that's already out of the bottle.

Either that, or they're going to very-specifically, start to focus on 3D art, like they're doing now (because concept art has been so devalued). Which of course doesn't bode well when AI can already generate 3D models. The topography is shit right now, but of course that's gonna' improve.

This only affects academic and commercial artists, though. If you do art for the love of it and more as a way for self-expression, that is an extremely valuable pathway also.
