    For the umpteenth time if it’s requiring human generated input, it’s not AI. A human is still at the wheel telling a computer what to do even if it’s doing evil bidding. It is but a program that still had a bunch of lines put in BY A HUMAN to start the algorithm. Cons are still conning.

    Too many people making wild techno phobe assumptions and missing the point they are still being fucked over by another human. Not a computer. Pinning it on as AI as if we’re powerless is misinformation to what is actually happening.

      I’m sorry but this sounds a lot like “guns don’t kill people”.

      “AI” is doing tremendous damage right now to artists and many other population strata, no matter how you like to word it. I’m all for automation and I think “AI” can help humanity in many ways, but right now it’s also being used to cheap out and hurt humanity at large. I don’t think it’s helpful at all to look away

        everybody keeps saying this, but i don’t think everybody realizes that any automation, at all, can have a negative effect. Yeah sure automating labor jobs would be nice, what are those people going to do now? Get a college degree? Good luck with that.

        We survived the automation and industrialization of farming, we’ll survive this.

        Oh we doing that now? Shitty Metaphors? Ok.

        Let’s do it.

        If a person rapes you you don’t blame their genitalia. You blame the person.

        and that’s my point. Blaming a machine is sidestepping the criminal who’s manipulating the machine to rip off people. You’re guilty of your own rule for derailing from the real culprit and ignoring the human thief. They rely on that.stop enabling it.
