"AI companies’ inappropriate scraping may have started with the work of illustrators like me, but it has grown to encompass everything else."
1/5 “Fun”to see tech grifters claiming that AI has always been used in games, pretending GenAi is a part of that, when its absolutely not.
Yes, AI has always been a part of games in: NPC behaviors, Data Mining, PCG’s (Procedural Content Generation) etc
All different from GenAi!
Nicolas Cage says "protect yourselves from AI."
“There is another world that is also disturbing me, and it’s happening right now around all of us — the new AI world. I am a big believer in not letting robots dream for us. Robots cannot reflect the human condition for us. That is a dead end if an actor lets one AI robot manipulate his or her performance even a little bit, an inch will eventually become a mile and all integrity, purity and truth of art will be replaced by financial interests only. We can’t let that happen. The job of all art in my view, film performance included, is to hold a mirror to the external and internal stories of the human condition through the very human thoughtful and emotional process of recreation. A robot can’t do that. If we let robots do that, it will lack all heart and eventually lose edge and turn to mush. There will be no human response to life as we know it. It will be life as robots tell us to know it. I say, protect yourselves from AI interfering with your authentic and honest expressions.”
“You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings [...] then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up...”
Silicon Valley doesn’t “predict” the future. It picks the one it wants and then pours billions of dollars into making it happen.
So when they say "AI will replace us", that’s not a helpful warning. It’s their business plan.
But hey, at least you can talk to your fake girlfriend and make fake art and read fake posts from fake people on a dead internet that costs increasingly more to engage with while also making you dumber, lonelier, and angrier.
This literally shut me down. I used to get clients who want to make toys because they visited my site for blog posts and information.
Now they don't need to. Google scraped my content and regurgitates it at the top of the search.
Zero visitors now. No clients.
Everyone should ask him
What's in the training data.
Where did you get the training data.
When did you get the training data.
How often do you get new training data.
You know what infuriates me… like boils my fucking blood… the amount of people who said AI won’t take your jobs. Said we were over reacting and blowing things out of proportion…
