 ====== Anti-AI sentiment ======
-Especially in the field of art, the proliferation of AI has found itself a crushing reputation. It is despised by pretty much everyone - training is based on what is essentially stolen artwork((Until it's not eheheheheh! Fuck you, users of Instagram, your art now belongs to Facebook! ~Message proudly sponsored by Facebook (They changed their TOS to make you implicitly agree to have your artwork used for AI training when you use the service, making it non-stolen as you "agreed" to it.))), it wrecks the environment, has a bad influence on society, it's problematic for artists who make a living off of their art((They are now competing with AI "slop" that can be generated with just a few clicks in a few seconds, outcompeting them in speed and price in a way that is so convenient as to almost negative the poor quality of AI-generated art.)) and ultimately benefits the big corpos who own and run the AI systems. There's a lot to dislike about AI, regardless of the type of application the AI was trained for.((To be very clear, critics like this speak almost exclusively about AI products for sale - not research AI used for research purposes by computer scientists. NASA uses AI to analyze trends and pattern in research and exploration data, from weather observation to the moon and mars missions. The critics I am talking about do //not// typically refer to these uses of AI, as they consider them to be good and genuinely useful applications of AI.))

 And while I can understand agree with these points as a concept, it does not lead me to the same conclusion. My then-bestfriend is staunchly Anti-AI, whereas I felt like AI wasn't the problem and that AI is //good//, it's just the way it's currently implemented that is, admittedly, bad. Like, for any of the points there is something you could respond: Yes, the artwork is stolen, but your brain too is trained on the things it sees around it/"if you put stuff on the internet, anyone can use it for anything"((ie. = It's your own fault.)). Yes, AI is costly on the environment, but that wouldn't be a problem if our energy came from climate-friendly energy sources. Yes, artists get fucked out of a market, but that's just the market - don't sell air if there's air all around us. Yes, AI art looks shit((Does it really? I'm not an art person, or anyone, really, for aesthetics and the much.)), but that can and probably will change over time. Yes, AI benefits big corpo, but they //are// offering you a service - we don't go hating on bikes just because they benefit big corpo.\\
