Yes and no. AI (the ideal) is labor replacement, similar to the first industrial machines. But instead of manual labor, it is replacing cognitive labor. Under capitalism, when profit is always the end game, labor saving tech will not be used to liberate, but to further exploit the people and rape our planet. This is no different, I think. Usually this kind of capital is held mostly in the hands of one class of people, but this tech is unique in that it has the ability to, once trained, be copied and iterated on by others. Open source, or eventually hacked. Software yearns to be free, in the sense that it can be copied easily. Point is, control over the development and distribution of AI is so difficult that even the "common sense" right* end up feeling betrayed. It mainly benefits the far right and the oligarchic class.

For now, it is not the ideal. But the intentions of the most powerful people seem to continue to race towards unregulated, privately controlled AI. They talk of slowing down, but I don't have my hopes up after everything that's happened.

Idk... Anarchism and ML have history lol

Chatgprrrrrrttttrrrlll...

Lmao in one sentence you perfectly exposed why anarchists hate MLs. Aside from all the historical bs, anarchists are just expected to go along with ML because it's "better than capitalism", but you'll never see any ML giving any ground to anarchists.

Ironically that makes you quite similar to liberals, who always want the left to support them but never give any ground :)

Personally, I can fight more than one thing at a time. But since you don't think that's possible, why are you more focused on fighting anarchists in your comment than capitalism? Is this projection? Are you a liberal? 🤔

How are people doing these so common though, the big models wont do real people

Local models?

without as much as a content warning

Why would you need a warning about promotion of heterosexuality?

Mildly

You heard them!

Also make sure to censor the language in the warning.

Ok i can't do it with the markup rules, I suck

Are they that common? There is so much of it out there, are there that many dipshit memers running local models?

IKR, But i have sincere communication deficiencies and struggles to paraphrase sentences.

I'm a fucking prolapse to the reproductive system of the queen's English.

Thesauropedes

Bro, this would just be the top spot in photoshop battles. A skillset that used to be really really accessible is now no longer even fun because well-done results will be considered gen AI.

Also, your writing seems like an AI prompt that says: be outraged at AI, make every mistake.

Honestly there are bigger fish to fry, and the world isn't black and white.

Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

I'm sure theres a few other idiom's I'm not thinking of.

AI.

1. I never claimed that computer usage goes down thanks to AI, and honestly I don't see how that could be interpreted from my comment.
2. I never implied offline models are the norm anymore than you implied ChatGPT sits idle once a user logs off.

All this cultural exposure is making me too heteronormative. How dare they influence me without consent!

Make your own version and post it in the comments.

I'm not going to do that, because I hate it when comments get edited in such a way that the whole context changes. However, to clarify: to your reply "I didn't realize people shut off their computers after having AI do something they might not have otherwise done anyway" I answered that yes, people actually do that. If they run a local model, the model also shuts down. If they don't run a local model, they can still shut down their computer and the next user can use ChatGPT or whatever online model they use.

A bad photoshop or paint would do the trick too. Abd arguably it would be funnier too

I agree. I'd also accept microsoft paint level quality.

It's been enlightening to see how many people lash out at you personally, using the sleights they hope you'd consider most offensive, in response to your opinions on a technology.

Reposts are very common too

I think we just don't understand each other here. At least, I'm lost at what belief I have to back up. But I'll wind back to the first reply I made, and remove any comparison of local models vs cloud, since I don't know how many people use the cloud models, and I don't know how many people use local models. So, here it goes:

Your reply is about people turning off their computers after using AI. Which they can and will do. Now, again, forget about the local models or online models. It's just people using AI and then turning off their computers, and you stated you didn't know people do this. I hereby state that people actually do that.

So, before someone goes back to why I dragged local and cloud models into this: (and trying to answer to what I think was implied in your original comment) I wrote about local models vs cloud computing, and that cloud computing doesn't stop being useful after one user is done with it. This may also be read as an indirect reply to the person you replied to, who stated people over estimate the energy usage of using AI vs doing it the other way.

I think i can sum it up a little more concisely. You can't fight the Epstein class with the tools of the Epstein class.

OMG the irony of using AI to rail against the use of AI.

They're being facetious because people say that about stuff with non-heterosexual content.

It's not humorous, it's cheap, derivative slop. This used to be a passing thought you would have on the can, accompanied by a chuckle and a fart, forgotten minutes later.

Now someone parlays the flatulence into a voice prompt and suddenly it's as much part of the record of humankind as Hammurabi's code. Fucking disgrace.

mint condition barbed wire

Mint condition is probably the worst condition to be using barbed wire in the given circumstances. You have weasels ripping your flesh and shiny new barbed wire? What you're setting yourself up for is a case of rabies and for some reason leaving out the lockjaw you can get from rusty barbed wire. So you'll have a case of the rabies and not have a case of lockjaw to stop you from biting your friends.

Whoever made that could have easily done it with basic photo editing skills instead of AI. Even if it didn't turn out great, it would still show that a person cared enough to try doing it themselves.

Anyone with a gaming PC can spin up ComfyUI and produce an image like this with a fraction of the power of playing a single round of CS:GO.

Jesus christ that text post was mildly infuriating. Please slow down and use words you both know how to spell and how to use in a sentence.

kthx.

Do people just turn off spell checkers now? Or, completely ignore them?

Excellent contribution and a shining example of lemmy discourse.

Yep. You need to make them shitty now.

Someone somewhere used a computer to do computer things. Boohoo 🎻

Shit, I can generate AI images on my phone. Locally. Using 'Local Dream.'

Oh no, a rainforest burned down and the oceans turned to desert because I used my phone! /s

Maybe they have phones.

Computers, or phones. Local models are getting more and more compact.

While I do agree that AI is not environmentally friendly, the only way the hype train is going to die is when investors quit dumping money into it.

While many of you may hate me for this, I intentionally waste it. Arguing with it saying the sky is green, asking it to write code and telling it the code doesn’t work, etc.

Maxing out my free account usage intentionally by just asking pointless questions and never giving up. Every prompt drains just a little bit of these investors confidence that their investment will ever turn a profit.

Profit is clearly the only thing they care about. Hit em where it hurts.

Love Sinead but AI/the Bourgeoisie is the real enemy.

The verbosity of your interlocution is positively sesquipedalian.

you are not more clever than the cocaine you consume
