The single most damning question about "AI" that I've seen is "Why would I want to read a book that nobody bothered to write?". It perfectly applies to all creative arts in relation to AI, and you've pretty much nailed it here.

If everything needed a "good reason" before someone tried it, new things would simply never happen. Most people were terrified of electricity at one point in time., my how things have changed.

[@eris5497]

​​@@snowthemegaabsol6819 With that statement, then it's ok for you to invent and try new things for malevolent purposes. I'd understand if you would say that inventions or new things comes to life because somebody just happen to have so much love for thermodynamics, spending their years self studying and tinkering then got lucky. That's understandable since human creativity is impressive and it's natural that we will create something accidentally. But deciding what happens after that or upon trying is crucial and it should be for a good reason. Anything that is vague or undefined has put people at risk but of course, you will never mention it since humanity is already benefitting. Hell yeah! electricity, right? As much as you have a point, I will agree with OP, we're lucky that it's us on top of this planet, still and for now. It's already a common knowledge that research facilities and military experiments at some point have developed something that they immediately have to get rid of because it can cause our extinction. If this continues especially with how fast-paced everything is, we just might encounter that one mistake again at the wrong process, wrong invention or wrong time and it might obliterate us for good.

[@ebashunegrov]

I liked most of the video, but I don't quite understand Drew's animosity towards AI generated videos. Unlike art or music models, video models don't steal anything from real artists. I have seen some of the videos featured by OpenAI, and while they were obviously cherry-picked, it still amazed me how their model has improved. You can recall how horrible and unrealistic videos like "Will Smith eating spaghetti" or "Rock eating rocks" were just a year ago, and now we have a car ride that you honestly can't tell from the real video. I really think Drew is being too harsh on a technology that is basically 2 years old, and that is rapidly developing.

[@LauraVanessaEscobarSalazar]

@@ebashunegrovai video steals from artists as well, ai cannot generate anything from zero it needs material to do that and steals from videos taken by people that work on different fields, art, documentaries , films, etc, not to mention how unethical this all is as you can basically use private footage of people framing them for crimes, fake evidence or worse, we have already seen the consequences of that with deepfake with women and little girls who’s image and footage was used for revenge p*rn

[@xaayer]

​@@ebashunegrov "The chase continues north in the city! Police helicopters are converging on Avenue 87 and Elm Grove Park!" Granger nodded. "They're faking. You threw them off at the river. They can't admit it. [...] So they're sniffing for a scapegoat to end things with a bang. Watch. They'll catch Montag in the next five minutes!" "But how-" "Watch." The camera, hovering in the belly of a helicopter, now swung down at an empty street. [...] On the screen, a man turned a corner. The Mechanical Hound rushed forward into the viewer, suddenly. [...] A voice cried, "There's Montag! The search is done!" The innocent man stood bewildered [...]. He stared at the Hound, not knowing what it was. [...] The Hound leapt up into the air [...]. Its needle shot out. [...] "Montag, don't move!" said a voice from the sky. The camera fell upon the victim, even as did the Hound. Both reached him simultaneously. The victim was seized by the Hound and the camera in a great spidering, clenched grip. He screamed. He screamed. He screamed! Blackout. Silence. Darkness. Montag cried out in the silence and turned away Silence. And then, after a time of the men sitting around the fire, their faces expressionless, an announce on the darks creen said, "The search is over. Montag is dead; a crime against society has been avenged." Darkness. [...] Granger turned [the viewscreen] off. "They didn't show the man's face in focus. Did you notice? Even your best friends couldn't tell if it was you. They scrambled it just enough to let the imagination take over. Hell," he whispered. "Hell." The above is a heavily abridged snippet from the climax of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. This, to me, is the true worry. AI may seem harmless now, but in what direction is it going? It's going for art now and as much as that sucks for artists, it isn't just artists who should be afraid. Art imitates life, so the better AI gets at mimicking art, the better it gets at mimicking life. We already see those who don't think critically and those on the fringes of society and the fringes of cognition (children and the elderly) being taken in by fraudulent AI images and stories. I've seen faked Joe Rogan podcast snippets and I know you've seen the fake image of the Pope in supposedly some new drip a few years back (the puffy white jacket image). So what happens as that continues to get better? What happens when someone deepfakes *you* doing something heinous? What happens when someone uses AI to create a video of something that "happened" ten years ago that changes history and manufactures a Mandela effect? That's essentially the power to rewrite history. Do you see, now, the true danger we have here? The Fermi paradox is the term for the contradiction between the seemingly high likelihood for the emergence of extraterrestrial intelligence and the lack of evidence for its existence. It has many proposed answers but one of the most popular ones is the Great Filter, the idea that there is some sort of milestone that a civilization has to pass in order to progress on the Kardachev scale and to be detectible. More than likely we have not hit the filter yet, whatever it may be - some think it's becoming a full Type 1 or Type 2 civilization. But what if AI is the filter? What if *this* is what does us in as a species. AI can indeed be a powerful and positive tool if ethically controlled and maintained, but considering our world gov'ts track record, more than likely it will be exploited and weaponized. Truth will get muddled because of AIs potential to overwrite and skew what we know. Art and culture, often all that remains and persists of ancient civilizations, will fade out and die. If you've watched Netflix's 3-Body-Problem, you may be familiar with just how damaging having something continually liquify truth in the field of science can be. All of that is why we should scrutinize and have a natural animosity to AI.

[@Legacy0901]

The fact that AI had to leech results from Reddit is already an example of people migrating away from algorithms. The whole reason people added 'reddit' at the end of their google searches in the first place was so that they'd get results from an actual human instead of ad recommendations

Fine motor control was hard for him, but I’d often join him in hand/ finger painting. I’d paint his hands different colors and I’d paint my own and we’d have fun putting color on paper. He loved this so much that he would jump with excitement in his wheelchair when the paint was brought out and he realized what we were about to do. We also did “paint balls” where he could pick up a ball dipped in paint and push it across a large paper and roll it and make some really cool abstract art. The most dangerous thing we let him do was hold a paintbrush and splatter on paper (dangerous in that we gave it to him and ran to avoid getting paint splatters on us lol). He loved creating those things. And AI would take away the innately human marks he made with his own hands and mind. He could point to the colors he wanted and liked. He would tell us when he thought he was done and satisfied with what he made by giving us a certain look or just setting the tool we gave him down.

And of course, I'm learning how to do it easier, a little faster, shortcuts here and there to help me make something I'm proud of... But I'm still doing the WORK for that knowledge, and I'll still be doing the work to learn more when I do it again! Learning and creating are some of the best things you can do in life, and if you can't bother to pick up a pencil, instead of typing prompts into a generative AI that will never have HALF the heart human art has, that's just sad. Behind every piece was someone whose fingers hurt, back ached, and eyes became sore - even all the cringe bad art you *don't* like - because they had passion.

You make the point about when you try your hand at a craft/art, you learn things and develop skills… which is very true, but also and arguably more importantly to *good* art is that you develop taste. You start to refine the margins of what you’re looking for, you listen to other music or look at more art and you start to develop an appreciation for certain aspects of those works that you then start to include your version/interpretation of those things into your own work. *That* is why I’m listening to great composers are looking at the work of fine artists, because I get to marvel at their finely developed tastes over years and decades of artistic and personal development and growth.

No matter how much you train a computer, it will never be able to feel the way that humans feel, and emotions are what drive art entirely.

[@OP-lk4tw]

@@orpheusthelyre i think that's mainly the point of art from the pov of the artist, art extends beyond the artist when it's consumed, there's a difference between that creative and expressive process of art, and the fullfilment in it, and the consumption of that art from others, you could be told that X piece of art was made by a human while it was made by an AI and feel what you'd have felt if it was actually made by a human.. so there's no logical basis for this argument beyond the artist pov which i completely understand and respect, but it's a different thing, and while some artistic fields can lose a layer of depth in the receiver (ofc subjectively according to the person, and assuming you are aware it's not human made) the other aspects should still be intact (unless the receiver is biased against it i suppose, since it's pretty subjective), the emotions evoked from feeling you are understanding and sharing something about the creator's mind at the moment of the creation are not there but could be replaced by other types of understanding, although perhaps less relatable to our human condition. I believe that's more the case with paintings (and depends on what kind of painting), but it's just a layer, with music i rarely have thoughts like that and for me it's more of a personal trip through the song which i couldn't care less who created and i believe this is the way for most, yet i don't argue for that, i argue for the generalization that the OP made which imposes values on others. Like, have you seen some of the beautiful paintings AI has done already? in its relatively primitive state? to deny the beauty and impact those can have to me is a bias, and why so narrowed, we can have both, human made art will never totally die because of the fact that it's made by another human being, would you say the beauty of the galaxies, stars, night skies, are not proper art because they are not made by humans? that's the art of nature itself, who cares if it's not made by a human, it's a different type, also beautiful, also unique in its own way

​@@OP-lk4twSo just to add my two cents, as me and my husband consider ourselves artists (he a visual artist, me a writer) I discussed with him our aversion to AI art. Not that its thievery isn't well executed and containing its own beauty - it absolutely does. But It's the different reaction you would have hearing an adult did the Mona Lisa versus a child did the Mona Lisa. I think a lot of us love certain artistic works initially for their beauty and secondly for the effort put into it. An adult honed his skill over years to draw something beautiful. A child painting to the degree of an adult must be a genius - how much better will their skill get in the future. We are impressed by imperfect things creating depth and emotion to near perfection. The amount of effort not involved in asking an AI generator to create a peice of art is an insult to that very sentiment. Art goes beyond beauty. There's a reason I and others search for the name of the creator of something we love. I want to know what they went through to make me happy. And that's not just me. If you don't need that connection, that's perfectly fine and fair, but as an introvert, that's one of my favorite ways to get connected to other humans which is imperative for living a full life. But hey, some people want that blue pill, and for most things around them to be unreal.

AI users calling themselves artists is functionally the same as commissioning an artist and saying you made the end product because you described what you wanted.

[@food7479]

Except that the AI is infinitely more efficient than the Artist. Talk about AI is a waste of energy and water, that artist would drink up to two liters a day for what takes the AI just milliliters

[@jacobkoeppe4091]

​@@food7479 Maybe but the artist is still a living human, with right to live. AI is just some robot people made for money. I would rather give an artist a 1000 Dollars than AI a single one.

It's so frustrating having to dodge so much AI crap every time I'm online. It's getting exhausting but then you can't even get away from it IRL.

ai has become so invasive that when i was doing a fuckin school project that needed me to use stock photos of people i had to spend like an extra *15 minutes* trying to find something that wasn't AI. like it didn't make it easier, it didn't help me out, it just made everything harder because every image available on google looked like absolute shit.

[@garffeels]

i visited a game shop and almost as soon as i walked in i noticed it was FILLED TO THE BRIM with ai images of pokémon characters on the walls, and they were selling tumblers with ai images on them aswell. it made me feel so uneasy. and then a while later i saw an ai generated logo on the side of a car

Honestly I feel like Drew’s intelligence and creativity sometimes flies under people’s radars but his counter to the AI pandemic is honestly pretty indicative of those strengths. Please do get angry more, Drew. You drop hella bars when you do.
