Hahaha, I don't know why people are so shocked. I'm sure we will see anything useful with AIs anytime soon, just like with crypto hahaha.
In the mean time, it's obvious these companies are using AIs as an excuse to bypass laws and regulations, and people are cheering them ...They are bypassing copyright laws (in a direct attack to open source) with their autocomplete bots, but we should not worry, it's not copyright infrigment because the LLMs are smart (right), so that makes it ok ... They are using this to steal the work of real artists through image generation bots, but people love this for some reason. And they are using this to bypass the few privacy laws in place now, like Facebook/Meta could ever have another incentive.
Maybe I'm extremist, but if the only useful thing we are getting from this is mediocre code autocomplete that works sometimes, I think the price we are paying is way too high. Too bad I'm in the minority here.
Llms need a lot of data, to the point that applying copyrights to the training would only let a few companies in the game (Google and Microsoft). It would kill the open source scene and most of the data is owned by websites like Reddit, stack and getty anyways. Individual contributors wouldn't get anything out of it.
You also have to be willfully blind in my opinion to seriously think generative AI has as narrow a scope as crypto.
This stuff is rocket fuel to the gaming industry for instance. It will let indie companies put out triple A games and I'm guessing next gen RPGs will have fully interactive NPCs.
I've heard every possible combination of thoughts on A.I. We need like a 6-dimensional alignment chart.
Nah dude, you need to build an opinion of your own lol. No chart is doing that for you.
Oh I have an opinion, I just meant to keep track of everyone's for the sake of conversation.
Oh, ups. Sorry lol.
