Just saw people hating on a small community promoting their tournament advertisement via AI generated poster and everyone loses their mind over it. This is just an example tho but AI is mostly disliked like thats the consensus

cus it looks so ugly and faked and soulless
just have a human make the art
But what if you dont have the budget to hire graphic designer and still want smth to show
Lets be honest AI can draw better than an avg person doing it himself. When you can do the same thing efficiently and better why not?
Artist here (Drew cned pregnant) !
- While AI can generate images with a higher skill floor, it is still soulless and we see almost no effort ( as a spectator) induced in the final product, people with this knowledge tend (on social media) to be more aware and will bash you more
- It is a cheap alternative, if you cannot afford a graphic designer, how can we make sure that every other aspect of the product is not cheaply made
- The merit, you’ll be 10x happier seeing something come to life bit by bit if you make it yourself, and yes even if it is rough, you need to learn said skill.
In the end, you’ll get more likes if you draw shitty stick man with no anatomy in mind than AI ! Please pick up a pencil or Adobe Illustrator or anything else that isn’t Generative AI to learn new skill and uou’ll be happy :D
(Btw I’m not going over the fact it’s a ecological and economical disaster)
If you have a community you can probably get someone to do it for free, and I doubt people don’t have a 20 dollar budget to hire someone when the prize pool is 5000 vp
they also dont have a source for that prize btw, they openly said they dont have any money as well as being a transphobic TO trying to work in the GC space (while using a nonbinary character on their ad LMFAO)
first of all everything about that "tournament" is horrible and second generative ai data centers are poisoning low income families in memphis

and this is happening all over the US
Idc about that tourney. I was only giving an example. But regarding this news that is just one company. You can hate on it but why the underlying technology
no it isnt just one company its happening all over the united states dude

i could go on and on with studies just from the last couple of years which is when we understand the least of the reach of the effects from ai data centers, but sure its just one company
Absolutely wide spread problem and if im agreeing with I Love Less then you know its a good point
embarrassing for 0ss0n0l0vr absolute airball whiff oh my goodness valentine ass message
So if companies started building illegal petroleum refineries causing pollution would you hate the petrol or those companies
absolutely what the fuck kinda gotcha is that, i dont like companies poisoning human beings with pollution
the difference is those are at least regulated while ai data centers are allowed to do whatever they want as the government refuses to regulate them because its massively profitable
the problem lies in all of it man its not just the fault of regulation they are voluntarily poisoning people and then sending out pamphlets that downplay the effects of their pollution
"Members of this community have been outspoken in their opposition to xAI and have called for more oversight and environmental regulations on the company. Over the past week, thousands of residents here said they received fliers in the mail that downplay the pollution emitted from xAI’s gas turbines."

So, basically its Pandora's box? But not at the same time because the issues that stem from it can actually be fixed.
Also data centers are going to kill towns in middle america and our politicians are signing on for it because they live in the big cities anyways
Cuz it causes the human mind to regress and eventually we just wont be creative anymore
Along side the moral reasons others have pointed out
Also things like ai chatbots are genuinely incredibly harmful to vunerable lonely teens and can cause psychosis
The points #10 made and this. We need stricter regulation on AI then its like corn on internet it’s harmful for lonely teens and underaged people as well but we have put restrictions on it like UK gov did. Lets not the technology here but how its used is up to us
Yeah I mean it does. I had my little brother taking help from AI for his homework. I was concerned how will someone learn if he gets the answer on his next fingertip
But its still a check and balance problem at the end. The tech is still new we are figuring things out right now but it has made our lives easier in so many ways
Im talking about generative AI
Most technology enhances human intelligence it helps us get smarter but with generative AI its actively making people dumber.
Also its making artists be unable to make rent etc cuz their commissions are so slow
i mean thats completely ridiculous, it CAN make you dumber if you delegate all thinking to an outside source, but you can also use it as an educational tool. it completely depends on HOW you use it, it's like if the internet was just coming out and everyone was like "all it does is push people towards porn and games and useless timesinks that only provide entertainment!!" and its like, while it can be true if you use it that way, you ignore all of the positive use cases for it
not a single one? there is plenty, for the common person and for business
a low income student can have access to a 24/7 personalised tutor which lowers the disparity in education quality due to wealth
a man in australia used chatgpt codex to develop a specific cancer vaccine for his dog that previously did not exist
doctors can see more patients instead of spending hours on paperwork
google is rolling out real time translations into their earbuds using gemini, which helps immigrants to a new country
there IS negatives to every tech development, and there will always be people that only care about enriching themselves, but it's reductionist to act like there are no use cases whatsoever
An unreliable tutor that can hallucinate things
Cancer vaccine????
Paperwork that is often messed up by said ai fucking over potentially critically ill patients
Same point as the others doesnt work
newer models very rarely hallucinate, especially not on undergrad level studies - the only hallucinations are with stuff like current affairs. the perception of these models is way worse than the reality due to the gatekeeping of the SOTA models. most people's only interaction with AI is the google search summary, or chatgpt free chats without creating an account. these models are significantly weaker than what is available, because of the amount of free consumption of them.
https://theconversation.com/a-man-used-ai-to-help-make-a-cancer-vaccine-for-his-dog-an-oncologist-urges-caution-278735 source for the second point
these models are so strong that they are able to solve erdos problems within one prompt. as the technology advances, the cost of these models trends towards 0 to run and they become more widely accessible than the ~£8 / month subscription fee
unfortunately AI companies are very very poor at marketing their products outside of deranged CEOs talking about ending the world so people (understandably) have negative perceptions of the tech - which is okay to do! it's okay to not like technological advancements. but it should be based in reality not just perceptions
AI just makes low quality work
ive never seen something (text or image) AI made and thought "wow this really is better than if a human made it"
i feel like its more on the hate on certain types of ai
there's some ai that have positive contributions, like the ones in machinery that streamline production lines or just ones that are used as tools to help with certain things/jobs
and then there's some like generative ai that are heavily disliked due to the low quality of the images and that it's used to replace human art, which ends up looking ugly in most cases
also this we hate generative AI, there are definitely good uses of AI like in cancer prediction imagery
00 is poopoo
at least the generative ones, there are some good uses
but overall, less jobs, bad for environment and high ram prices 😿
generative AI and AI in general is a major enabler in a surveillance state and the end of capitalism. big companies no longer want you to have your own computers, jeff bezos said this himself, he wants you to pay to use computer software. sam altman wants to monetize all education and force you to learn any and everything through AI. it is merely a tool used to spy on you, destroy our environment, make people dumber, all in the name of taking over the world and monetary profit.
Its a bubble anyway. Just see the losses these companies are bearing. They are creating this false narrative to try to sell AI and the more they glorify AI the more people will invest in them
yeah, they've lost insane amounts of money. Unfortunately they just keep investing to keep the attempt alive. I'd love for the bubble to burst but at this point it's looking a little bleak
a common sentiment but not a realistic one unfortunately. some AI companies will definitely run out of money and go bust, but the technology is not going anyway. OpenAI is burning through money at a ridiculous rate, yes, but even other competitors like Anthropic are looking relatively financially healthy
and even then, every single AI company could go bust tomorrow and it would not remove the tech from existence, there are already local models you can download and run off of your computer - less powerful than the state of the art models, yes, but still far far ahead of what we had a couple of years ago
Yea the tech is here and its not going anywhere we need to play around it so we dont let it get better of us like usage of AI in schools shouldnt be there
AI challenges society on what it means to be good at anything. Being good in a particular thing usually requires many positive experiences over an extended period of time. When LLMs are trained, they mimic this method. A computer can hold as much memory as you provide it. A human has limitations. In the end, what's the point of life if the very nature of our experience is dwarfed by a trained computer?
For the gaming audience, it's akin to cheating. You have not put in the time to be good at the thing. You just acquired it without work.
Isn’t that better? A human learns through his experiences but when you have LLM who can mimic that for you, you can focus on better things in life. The whole process gets efficient
It's kinda sad that people should make everything efficient, sometimes the fun parts in life are not efficient
the main problem with gen-AI is that (especially image/video generation) prompts cost SO much electricity, it’s just horrible for the environment for that reason
I’m not against the development of technology, I’m only against the current form of AI because it is literally destructive to our world
Overuse of AI is a net negative. There's simply too many cons, Even putting aside "Muh AI art is good" people are literally unable to fathom the possibility that a large amount of white collar work currently being done can be automated by AI within a couple of years. They believe this while simultaneously admitting that AI has made it very difficult for new comp sci grads to get degrees.
Yes that is true companies are getting their work automated at fast pace and new comp sci grads are gon be dumb as hell. But you still need to people to automate the stuff and build it. It will cost us many jobs but its creating new jobs too (at a lower rate tho)
If you don't realize it by yourself why people hate it, then you don't have the mental capacity to understand the reasons.
I literally work on AI professionally pretty sure I can handle the reasons why people dislike it sm
If you work on AI professionally then you know why people hate it? Its replacing not only jobs, but also job functions. It's dumbing down the work people do and lowers everyone's understanding of the work at the same time.
If you have the tool thats doing your job you only need to know how to operate the tool not the underlying tech.
Why do you need to call someone stupid just because he doesn't know something you do or doesn't share your views???
As long as AI is giving a superior product/service I don't really see the issue tbh.
reasons:
- people don’t like change
- people feel like AI makes them dumber
- AI costs alot to maintain compared to what it offers
- AI feels fake or not genuine to them
- AI take away jobs either by doing the work completely or by boosting productivity or efficiency of each worker so u need less workers overall
- AI is ruining school
what does this all mean? well:
- AI will continue to stay
- contrary to popular belief, AI won’t magically take away jobs that fast. It will reduce amount of jobs available by helping existing workers work faster and more efficient.
- AI will improve slower than you think. think of it as when u start learning valorant. you improve very quickly at the beginning but as time goes on, you improve at a much slower rate. The same applies to AI. at the beginning, feeding it a bunch of data helps it improve very quickly but as time goes on, to improve the AI, you need more and more data to a point where that number is too high to accomodate. This means that until there is some new revolutionary way of training AI, it won’t see that drastic of an improvement.
- The younger generation might not hate AI. think of the times ur parents or grandparents say that things were much simpler back in the day, that some new technology ruined smth. This is you right now. the kids will get accustomed to it and before u know it, they can’t live without AI
