Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Everyday I pray for the sun to shoot a suger Carrington bukkake onto the earth. We need a clean wipe.

Last time, someone on Lemmy posted a chapter by a 1800 poet and author, and it was labelled AI.

Woa, I didn't know AI was that advanced at the time! /s (I saw the image)

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I find it kinda funny myself. if you go onto fedinsfw, people are calling posts AI because the picture in question used Photoshop. 😂

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

All computers are AI therefore the Fediverse is AI.

As someone who plays an instrument (but who was never good at writing songs) I'm scared for actual artist having to share their creative process just to prove they didn't use ai

Either be it my recording their tracks with video evidence and the waveform in the background, as many cover musicians are already doing, or by maybe sharing their creative process and their notes etc. Not only because it'll only be more AI training data to fake but also because it gives them more work just to show they are not making slop content, but also because sometime you kind of want to keep those things to yourself as an artist. Either because of personal reasons or because you want to kinda keep the listener in the dark with what might be the meaning behind a certain phrase/verse

Especially if you don't perform live as an artist life must be shit rn

Creatives have lost this battle already.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago

Why scared? This is a new unique way to connect to fans and be real. For so long made artists have be foisted upon us with their looks, sound, lyrics, etc decided by a suit. This is an opportunity to turn this on it's head.

Corporations already weren't paying artists. For every aspiring artist that wins a court case against a corporation there are thousands who don't. We really need to get away from the commercialization of art anyways. Most art that is made is never meant to be sold.

I am not scared for artists, if anything AI can literally do nothing to dissuade artists and will likely inspire a new generation of artistic innovation. What I do fear is how AI will be used outside of generating entertainment.

full reality distortion ... this tech is coming at a cost none of us can afford.

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 12 hours ago

This is likely on purpose. The goal is to normalize AI and make people feel like "everyone uses ai".

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 27 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

People are using AI to determine what is or is not AI so that they can avoid AI

This is funny

My friend has been posting stories of the meals he cooks. They all get labeled as made with AI...

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry you have to find out this way but your friend is AI and so are you

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

But the meals? Believe it or not, AI

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 59 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

The stated goal is that we won't be able to tell the difference.

Really sucks this ruined everything. I have no motivation for art or music because anything made in this era is suspect now and no one has any integrity. Why even release music when people probably won't even listen to something that new. Should have stopped in 2012 boys.

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 21 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Artist here. I don't draw because I'm good at it. Or because other people are better at it than me.

I do it because I like it. A lot.

It makes me happy to be able to take something from my own brain and make it real enough that others can see it. I don't want to make a career out of it or anything. But being able to draw things for my friends for Christmas or birthdays is something that makes them happy. Drawing my own assets for games I'm programming, or sketching dumb stickers for friend group in-jokes on Discord is satisfying.

Please keep drawing. Please keep making music. You don't have to make anybody happy other than yourself. It's as normal an expression of humanity as dancing or singing.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Thats cool, I have never been able to draw worth a crap! Its really cool seeing people do it though its impressive how hard drawing is to me.

I do enjoy it but as with anything its a lot of work, money and time and I'm not happy if I'm just plucking along, I need to be improving ans creating full albums etc but in the end it doesn't seem worth it. People dont care, which is fine, and I'll maybe go back and listen to it in a few years for fun. Ive tried full on quitting but I keep getting recruited into other bands and most of my friends are musicians.

Honest question, but is your only goal for for example music to put it online? I play music, an obvious goal of it is to play it for other people, and what does AI matter? They see me play the instrument and that's the problem solved.

[–] kestrel7_7@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Yep. One of my finest moments as a musician was last year. Guy comes up to me after a show and says something like “gosh, I feel bad for you musicians, AI is taking your job.” I was just like “do you think I do this for money? I have a day job. I play music to meet and impress women, and you’ll never be able to do that with AI.”

Don't let the tech bros take your creative outlet :(

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 245 points 1 day ago (26 children)

I bet this is because LLMs stole her art for training, so now that the LLM users have pumped out thousands of slop-art aping hers down to the colour palate and brushstrokes, her originals also get identified as also AI.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 91 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

This is exactly it. Also the reason that inputting an excerpt of a classical text (cfr. Dracula, Frankenstein, ...) returns "likely AI" results - it's literally what it was trained on.

[–] Zombie@feddit.uk 53 points 18 hours ago

For anyone doubting Kyrgizion's claim:

But the fact that they say their system is "advanced" and "refined", while they don't even add some guardrails as, i.e., date checks, that are the minimum one would expect to be added to reduce the likeliness of both false positives and false negatives. It's just stunning.

Wait until for them to close your account with the pretext of "your account has violated our community guidelines", no legal justification whatsoever if some people decide to spam that report button lol stop using these bullshit platforms that see you as nothing but a number. Hell, you might be earning your life through Instagram or YouTube, and all it takes for them to delete your years of content is pressing one button.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

Literal fucking nightmare

Makes me want to never release anything ever again

(I'm not on Meta. I mean anywhere)

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago

Please keep making things. Art for art's sake is a noble calling. Posting it is just icing on the cake, it's the act of creation and the feeling you get from it that really matters. So don't stop doing it.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

i'm not sure what art you do specifically, but release it out of spite. directly to people who can appreciate it. please.

skip the internet.

i would love to see/hear it

[–] destructdisc@lemmy.world 50 points 21 hours ago

This is also entirely intentional.
