@Kabiran_ Ive always wondered about sci fi stories where advanced societies wipe themselves out. I no longer wonder.

@WCK604 @Thatdudeodo @terminallyOL "Why are you all so addicted to disingenuous framing" , that's projection right there.

[Yancke van Tonder @Aethersmith]

@CardinOvO All these points are irrelevant to the original sin of stealing all that work/property. I dont care at this point about "the creative process" or "is ai good enough". We can deal with that once fair remuneration and consent of the original sin of ai training is fixed.

@MADkurious @Rahll "there’s a lot of feel grateful." Are you a bot ? Or whats going on here ? Your comment is gibberish.

@ednewtonrex Nevermind when users upload stuff they have no right to do so. So Google can still train on your work even if you avoid them.

@thefinnmckenty Ohh you are that Punk rock mba wanker. Makes sense now.

[Yancke van Tonder @Aethersmith]

@thefinnmckenty *Man does ethically questionable shit, defends actions by calling other ppl's work ( that they didnt steal) ass*
Fuckin gross.

[Yancke van Tonder @Aethersmith]

@thefinnmckenty Also this chestnut from the other thread:
"If the output is good, that's all that matters to me."

[Yancke van Tonder @Aethersmith]

@thefinnmckenty "Why are you the one who decides what ethics and morality are? "
"That aside, this is all getting litigated so I’ll leave it to them."
Lets not pretend that you don't have an angle here. Just making excuses so you can keep doing the exploitative unethical thing.

@synaesthesiajp "They think the AI is not creative and destroys the value of creativity." Because tech billionaires stole everyones work, copyright washed it, and leases it back to ppl. Its not that hard to understand my guy.

[Yancke van Tonder @Aethersmith]

@throwawall @print__head Ive noticed this as well, tbh.

[Yancke van Tonder @Aethersmith]

@TrashRobotMusic @print__head @JabberwockLemur Absolute cope.

@mark_collins09 @Rahll Giga Dunning-Kruger on full display.

@ednewtonrex @carlfranzen @bfl_ai @robrombach @BrooksBarnes Are we losing the public on the original sin of genAi training data ? The news is always about how good/ bad the quality is, or job replacement,or the environment, etc. But never about the theft of the training data. The companies are just ignoring those that ask.

[Yancke van Tonder @Aethersmith]

@TheMG3D The Jorge situation was such a clusterfuck and nothing positive will come out of that for creatives, and then another of the series ( buzzfeed / cupcake) has had the creator of the character pushed out and ignored. She hates that her character is involved with AI now.

@theneedledrop Good Lord, i mean i know stockholm syndrome isnt a real thing, but the asmonglers in the comments sure make a good argument for it.

[Yancke van Tonder @Aethersmith]

@Angaisb_ @BerwaldJoshua @Matan_Vilensky Comparing typing a prompt in to photography or digital art shows me how little you know about those two skill sets. Because you know so little about the creative process you don't know any better.

[Yancke van Tonder @Aethersmith]

@mexopolis @BellenSmellen *eyeroll* Sure bud. Im sure that was the reason, and not all the valid criticism making you look real bad.

[Yancke van Tonder @Aethersmith]

@ZeroDeusExploit @duskbladex @Rahll @DougTenNapel "Intellectual "property" is anticapitalist and antihuman."
Sadly for you just stating things does not make it true.
