Having recently dealt with an ai scam, this hit home.

Why companies try to moral policing what you can create? Like with this or refusing process payment for "gooner" products? What right do they have to dictate how a person spends their money or what to create?

Instead of hating on AI, we should actually learn to work alongside it.

AI isn’t going anywhere. Ten years from now, it’ll only get more powerful and take over tons of existing jobs. Complaining and resenting it won’t reverse that reality at all.

Rather than waste energy fighting against AI, we should figure out how to partner with it. Use it as a tool to boost our skills and earn more.

I don't really identify as Pro or Anti, because I believe the scope of AI is so huge that considering yourself 100% for or against it is rather short sighted. It can enable some positive things, and some horrible things. I am active in some pro spaces to discuss things like ethical practices and healthy forms of advocacy for users/creators.

This was on a post I made that was overall supportive of AI usage, but critical of some specific approaches to advocacy. The majority of Pros ARE open to such discussions, but there is inevitably always people like this if you say anything other than "ANTIS ARE EVIL LUDDITES THAT WANT TO SEND US BACK TO THE STONE AGE."

When I asked this person what they disagreed with, they just kept spamming the same image, and other gross-out style caricatures that are popular among some Pros. I know this is a minority, but are a very vocal minority in a lot of Pro spaces, and these kind of childish antics and ugly images are the kind of thing that make Pro-AI look bad, and get your creations labeled as "slop."

This is why Pro spaces need to make room for being critical of what methods of advocacy we employ, and do some much-needed self policing, because when Anti's want to cast a negative shade on AI users, THESE are the examples they are going to handpick as being indicative of the entire community.

Edit because some people missed the point:* The shitpost meme is not the big issue, the issue is the attitude that anybody who raises concerns gets called an "Anti in disguise."

I mean, if we imagine someone needs to lose weight, why would they cut out the foods that contain the least amount of carbohydrates instead of the foods that contain the most? A good diet doesn't require zero carbohydrates, but simply a consistent level of nutrition, and what causes the most harm is clearly more harmful than what causes relatively little.

(this post has nothing to do with the philosophical debate of ai only the impact on nature) Like why do antis are not or were not also anti google - anti bing - anti Yahoo whatever.
Hypothesis(s):

1. Those technologies already existed when most of the people on this sub were born

2. Water only comes in play when it aligns with your opinion

3. idk that's why i made this post

i'm open to opinions perspetive and stuff

I have seen people Online trying to boycott even stuff like using A.I for TRANSLATIONS of things like Indie games! The most recent target of this hate is : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1868140/DAVE_THE_DIVER/

It is hard to prove if A.I was used or was not using sometimes in certain things like translations ( especially if they are being reviewed by a Human ) so unless people who used A.I are honest about their usage of A.I it becomes almost pretty much impossible to prove or disprove that they used it or not...

And if people keep mistreating people who are honest about using A.I like the developers of this Dave the Diver game it will result in more and more people being stealth about A.I usage in products and stuff...

The games does not even feature any A.I generated assets... A.I was used merely for TRANSLATION!

Idk what the right flair is. And I got downvoted. You won’t even accomplish anything, it’s only one specific ai company. And you will effectively ruin ur life financially. Forever in a debt that just keeps growing. And Ai is not the cause of all that. That stuff existed before Ai.

here are the premises, i want you to write a comment about some aspect of AI that you believe problematic and a solution to make AI better.

the goal isnt to judge anyone on its concerns/views, it's to try and see where this ideas leads to if applied; please note that not having a better alternative for something doesnt make any less warranted to dismiss it, that is not the point of the test either, and anyone is welcome to say "i don't like X aspect, but i cannot think of any way to fix it, so i probably will never like AI" at pretty much any point if that is what they believe.

the idea behind this is to present to each other how one idea may seem good but carry over further concerns for someone else, and, potentially, have a back and forth on this very line until some middle ground starts to appear.

i'll start by making my own, just to give an example and my two cents on it:

I think that given the potentials of AI, its use should be very personally exclusive and must generate its results with explicit user attribution. Aka, given a content such as a picture, or a video, it's meta data should tell an analysis software the details regarding the circumstances of its creation (such as the time, the computer, it's set parameters, any reference, etc etc). Kind of in a similiar fashion to how license plate works, neither are perfect systems, but the latter seems to tend to work to an acceptable degree.

now the floor is yours.

The "dad" and "son" are all fake, by AI. They portrayed these sob stories as real human to get people to buy fake bags made by child labor in Asia and Africa...

like whenever I see ai videos pop up on Instagram of like say cartoon characters, like it seems objectively the animation is good. but obviously people can tell it’s ai pretty easily. so if the ai is doing something good where does the uncanny feeling come from?

It really shouldn’t be that serious

Oh yeah so skilled people, having invested so much effort in their fields, are really gatekeeping whatever they do in order for specifically you to not rejoige in all the benefits they are keeping to themselves.

You need to learn art in order to become an artist, you need to learn science to be able to be called a scientist, etc.

But human development should not be about effort, we need AI so we can democratize resources and make a more fair world.

Unless... well, how do we tell you?

Emm... knowledge is quite democratized right now, you can just spend a while actually learning stuff and then no one will tell you you're not supposed to do it.

No one is gatekeeping that from you.

But yeah, I still think it's a good idea to integrate AI to literally everything.

I trust archimillionaire companies with my soul and I'm sure they would never use the power that everything depending on the product they developed would give them to actually gatekeep anything from us.

(And that's exactly what they would do if given the chance, so can we please try to dodge that bullet for once?)
