I knew I shouldn't have used that analogy, because then the focus would be redirected to it and I'd end up defending it instead of the position it was meant to represent.

I've said what I intended to say. I don't wanna argue over the uses of AI when its the foundation itself that's rotten. There's no good way to make use of "gen" AI as it stands.

I'm sorry, but no matter how many times I hear this argument, it never addresses the issues with AI that exist regardless of its usecase. There are plenty of other unacceptable things in this world that we apply strict bans to. No, it will never rid the world of the issue, but that doesn't mean you concede to "appropriate" uses of the maliciously envisioned technology. Someone in the world will always be hungry, but that doesn't mean we settle for mostly eradicating world hunger, we try to do all we can.

No amount of "but it's for a good purpose" with erase the issues inherent to LLMs and "generative" AI. I like the idea of pure tedium being automated in the future, but so long as its based on the this tech as it currently exists, any genuine attempt to make create something positive is a non-starter. I'm not a "luddite", I don't hate progress or new ideas, I simply refuse to support projects that rub shoulders with hyper-capitalist theft machines that destroy the planet.

Its different but no better. Its still AI slop, just human reviewed AI slop.

I'm glad I moved to PieFed a few months after joining Lemmy. Tankies have no real values and will claim to be radicals while holding no better values then our oppressors.

Private property is, yeah.

Not trying to be a pedantic dick, its just annoying when I see people go "leftists want to take your toothbrush" when they don't understand the idea of private property being theft.

Oh yeesh don't remind me of ugly Sonic hahaha

I'm so glad someone here knows a quote from him other then "What could possibly go wrong?!"

We don't talk about "SO, YA WANNA BE A VIDEO GAME STAR!!"

Wouldn't you be at the sight of bleeding Nazis?

Is machine learning the problem, though? Like, if someone wrote a program for automating subtitle creation, or at least helping with the tedious aspects of it, and it improved the more you used it, would that be an issue on it's own? I think that's why people differentiate between AI, LLM, and ML, because we need ways to distinguish tech that's being misused/is harmful in it's current forms vs. tech that is inherently evil in concept alone.

It's confusing bc nobody fully understands which terms refers to what, myself included, so everyone uses each term for the wrong thing.

Oh fuck yes that sounds awesome, thank you!!
