A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

The people who made calculators didn't steal anything from mathematicians in order to make them work.

Didn't they? Did they get consent from the mathematicians to use their work?

Math is discovery, not creation.

What a completely arbitrary distinction

I think the fact that AI sucks ass at even the most basic math proves that the difference between discovery and creation is, indeed, not arbitrary.

Unless you are the kind of person to use AI to do math, then yeah I can see how it can look that way.

I don't follow your reasoning at all.

Now you're moving the goalpost. You said told always replace humans and made the analogy to calculators and refrigerators. The fact is that the cast majority of generative AI in use today didn't get their content ethically.

Lmao im moving the goalpost? That was literally my argument from the get go. Dude says your shitty for using/facilitating ai art. Dudes dead wrong. End of story
