Have you embraced AI as part of your life? Or are you still scared of it?

I Though Game Publishers Cared About Protecting Their IP

People are literally Genie 3 AI to create worlds of actual games, and they're developing at fast rate. Using public data from videos and coming from Google themselves. Yet no other game companies are throwing a fuss about it. Not even Nintendo so far with a lawsuit in site. Yet they're able to do these lawsuits and DMCA take downs on the average Joe or non-corporate entities who don't have the cash to go court. None of these companies do a damn thing, and their stocks are plummeting right now, but don't want to admit to themselves or their shareholders AI is doing nothing, but wasting everyone's time.

I thought threads like this weren't allowed. Oh well.

It is when AI abuse hurts the gaming/tech industry/media creation, and most importantly, THE ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD AND LIFE ON THIS PLANET!

I am not exploding at you, but I did all caps to emphasize why the thread is staying and not going anywhere for a long while.

We don't have a rule against discussing AI per se. It's just that most threads about AI tend to devolve into pointless slapfights so we're a little more alert when another one drops.

I can think of one good use for it.

 

[nathman]

It does not have a use for me other than making tedious menial tasks not tedious and menial. Most of the time it just gets in my way if anything, especially with search engines.

As for my creative workflow, I do have an example being the AI Mastering plugin on Logic Pro. But even that's just making a tedious process a lot easier.

Spoiler

(possibly may even save me a lot of money as well in the future, mixing and mastering audio is something that charges a ton)

Other than that, nothing. AI can be useful but it's far too over-hyped by boomers who aren't proficient in computers, techbros, and investors. I'm certainly not intimidated by it in any way.

It hasn't embraced me so I can't embrace it.

I was moreso referring to how the OP seemed to be deliberately inflammatory

 

[PupinDaTurd]

I'd rather die than live a life "embracing" AI.

im not using ai as my part of life due to they caused ram prices going moon.

Are you referring to the title? Or to the statements I made in the comments?

Anyway, I've reached a point in my life where social masks are starting to feel really tight, however, I've made an effort to respect the limits of the current rules in effect, so, I've avoided talking about specific users or discussions and actually my argument applied to the whole world based on my personal experience.

I'd rather die than live a life "embracing" AI.

Life and its time are a gift, given after years of sacrifice by those who raised you, so, never say to throw it away just to win an internet argument, furthermore, you're talking about the AI phenomenon as if it were a hypothetical scenario yet to happen and that you are not at all willing to accept, but instead it is already an ongoing and completely entrenched process: just look at certain ads or even just [un]social networks.

seems like it's trying to embrace death too

 

[IyoTheHelpfulWolf]

I use LLMs like ChatGPT to help me figure stuff out sometimes. You shouldn't offload all your thinking to them as they sometimes pull stuff out of their ass, but they can help point you in the right direction when you're narrowing down thousands of options for a thing or when you have to cobble together a solution to a technical problem out of lots of different documentation and forum threads.

My biggest concern isn't AI itself. If people wanna mass-produce slop, go right ahead. If you're making art for fun and people like what you make, they'll choose you over the AI content farm. If they would pick that farm over you, they weren't worth making content for to begin with.

The issue is that our socioeconomic and logistical reality isn't ready for it. Power grids, supply chains, and the environment are being strained as new data centers are built, and if future automation technology ends up replacing more jobs than it creates, it could leave a lot of people without a means of income. It wouldn't make sense for everyone to be a sustenance farmer again when we're so good at mass producing food and ingredients already, and I'm not really sure if everyone realistically could be sustenance farmers now. A UBI would probably need to be implemented so people who outright can't get a job wouldn't starve, but I'm not educated enough in economics to propose how to go about that and I doubt the ruling class would agree to a UBI without a massive catch or a fight.

 

[Adrastia]

I don't use it and actively block it from popping up on Google and Brave. If I have a question I just put it in the search bar and try to find a site with reputable info.

 

[bjork]

saw this elsewhere, can confirm it gets it to go away, probably not forever but still

 

[BrawlMan]

Well, i'm never going to an amc ever again.

*admires AI artwork for an hour while eating food that contains bioengineered ingredients* Hmm... I forgot to pay for Netflix, gotta do that real quick...

What has happened to society?

AI isn't going away. It's better to learn how to use it than it is to pretend it's not there until your job forces you to work with it (or, worse, the AI makes your position redundant).

 

[BrawlMan]

It is going away when most companies aren't really gaining much money from it. A lot of them are just too stupid, delusional, and stubborn.


Apparently, the Pentagon wants to use AI for massive surveillance.And thankfully, a leader of an a I company has some sense and points out why it is a really bad idea. The company in question I don't like either, but at least they have some actual standards, and reasoning.

.

The only thing I half seriously is when I'm coding and don't know the solution to something and the internet doesn't have an answer to something and even then it works like half the time.

 

[HextarVigar]

AI has tripled or even quadrupled component prices. At least one company has outright told the buying public to go fuck themselves and has begun selling to AI companies exclusively.

It is literally cheaper to buy a new computer than to upgrade what you currently have.

AI can fuck itself right back.

 

[mistymermaid]

AI is largely an ethical debate. The central issue being determining what is in fact plagiarized? Identifying AI content is one thing, telling where it originated...not so simple.
