I also recently saw an article about YouTube videos being transcribed for GPT-4 training data so if the companies really want to they’ll get the data anyways.
Because it destroys the Internet for the visually impaired?
- It would be a pain in the ass
- You'd still have to post (alt)text for accessibility reasons
- OCR exists
they'd just be ocr'd
Which is like the easiest ML problem.
Students commonly implement OCR as a homework assignment in undergrad machine learning courses (see the MNIST dataset).
Because that would greatly harm accessibility for the visually impaired.
And if you wanted to adhere to accessibility guidelines for the conversational images, you'd need to add alt text to them. But then the ML models can train on that, so you're back to square one.
I hate people doing that here. It's always unreadable since people took the screenshot on a PC and the text is tiny and I need to scroll sideways every 8 words... Or I'm at the PC and the screenshot is just 3 sentences without a link to read the rest.
I'd say let them train their AI on my comments. I just want a share of the finished product in exchange.
most people don't care if their comment help train ai. not sure why lemmy generally seems to.
Especially if our comments are nonsense!
How do you communicate complex thoughts with pictures?
Memes.
Why?
Your idea is that AI cannot understand the meaning of your comments. But that will 'hold' only a year or two. Then the hungry AI's (if we don't stop them in time) will incorporate character recognition from images in it's learning.
I think it's better to use photos in combination with text for the reasons other people have already mentioned.
I think you can upload images to Reddit directly now and have them automatically displayed but I feel like the process is still a tad easier on Lemmy and you see it more often here. Using AI images as examples or to add flair to a post or comment might be a better way to stick it to Reddit.
