They don't even see it as theft in most cases; they think people have a right to draw pornopgraphic fanart of someone else's character, or to throw scenes from some random anime or cartoon up on the screen to keep the Youtube audience visually entertained while they rant about how evil AI art...

It's always facepalm-inducing seeing people who steal artists' work to use for their own purposes, take a stand against the usage of AI art programs on behalf of artists because they supposedly steal their work.

"#1 hits" become popular because of marketing; not whatever objective quality they may possess. In fact, many (if not most) chart toppers are completely bereft of any sort of passion or emotional investment from anyone involved in their creation; which usually involves song writers, market...

Even if they do end up getting sued, I'm pretty sure it'll be the taxpayers who will have to foot the bill in the end.

As I understand it though, people solving CAPTCHAs has been used to train AI for years; so it's not surprising they'd eventually get better than us at solving them.

They didn't die; they just stopped being nearly as profitable. I mean, Bob Ross for example wouldn't have become a thing if there wasn't still interest in landscape paintings:

Thing is, Charles Baudelaire was wrong. People still painted portraits and landscapes after the advent of photography; they still do, in fact. Even after the advent of digital art, there are people out there who still put their brushes laden with paint to canvas. No, what Charles Baudelaire was...

More and more, those speaking out against the use of AI seem to be doing so for ideological and superstitious reasons, rather than for any harm the technology actually causes in reality.

Came across an artist on DeviantArt who replaced all of their art with a protest sign against AI art, insisting that it's theft, and announced that they were only going to host their work on platforms that promise to protect his work from being "harvested". Was sort of impressed by his...

Says the jackass who keeps insisting that I'm "blind to the truth", while also openly advocating murdering people; because you're irrationally scared they'll invent Terminators.

I was talking about people losing their jobs to AI long before you took it seriously; you just came in, Johnny-come-lately, ranting about how AI were going to destroy the world, making those of us with real concerns about increasing automation look insane by association with your doomsday ramblings.

I realize that trying to talk you down from panicking over things like this is a lost cause, but our music is a lot less unique than you think:

Something which those with the budgets and skills aren't happy about. And that's why they're trying to ban the technology (or make it so that only they can use it); to keep things they way they are, and shut out any new competition.

What part of that is terrifying to you, and why? The part where people are apparently so worked up over AI, that they are at the point now where they're condemning and attacking people for doing things that they haven't actually done? Because that's the part that terrifies me.

Fair enough; I just don't think the opposite extreme from a nanny state would be functionally any different, because that government bureaucrat is ultimately merely a middle man.

As long as you're okay with the idea that said life lost will be yours. Personally though, I'm of the opinion that although I agree that there are way too many regulations, some are necessary in order to have a functioning society.

Except that we're a lot further from achieving that than they think (to them, technology=magic), and so as a result of their ignorance they're going to jump the gun trying to restructure society using technology that is decades, if not centuries, away from being able to do what they need it to do.

No, you didn't; if anyone is debating dishonestly here, it's you. You're just projecting now because you don't want to admit you're wrong. That's because I've watched people much better than me at debate do exactly that over and over again, which you've chosen to ignore or reject every single...

Meanwhile the only thing I've learned from you is that there are actually people out there that embody the worst stereotypes of Libertarians. People that have convinced themselves that they're well informed and educated, but in reality suffer from an extreme case of the Dunning–Kruger effect...

We already had an AI thread: AI/Automation Megathread That aside, you're trying to make a distinction that does not exist. When someone makes their work freely available, such as by posting it online, they are implicitly allowing other people to see it, and store it in their brains to...
