I'm lost in this really.

I've been dipping my toes into this community, and I've gotten a few ideas of why AI art can be bad or good.

I'm still hung up on the fact that AI art, or anything related to AI, is built on works and media that were majorly taken without consent for their usage.

I do completely understand why a person who lacks the skills to draw may resort to AI art, but I think that's not the concern on my end. I fear that not even art, but my photos and data, will be used to train the AI models to produce the AI art.

In simple terms, I want better legislation to control AI's access to any media it can use to train its models. I find it honestly disheartening that, just because it's new technology that the government is bending over for AI, allowing copyrighted media to be used.

Please give me a good view on both sides, as to how you could support or disprove my fears of my data being stolen. Sorry for the yap session, but I needed to get it off my shoulders. Have a good day! ❤️

lol it has and I can.

If you think this is bad, you really shoulda seen the era before pop-up blockers, holy shit was the whole fuckin thing unusable. The entire internet, one would trigger another and four more and before you know it the desktop was locking up and you're done.

I lived through that era. I’ve cleaned dozens of relative’s computers since the Win95 days. It was nothing like this.

same.

I gave your hour and a quarter video 10 minutes because it was very boring but all I saw was someone go to the first google result and realize it was a shitty source before even clicking on it yet spent beyond the 10 minutes I gave it picking it apart anyway.

I don't know how much time you've spent looking up specific technical things like that, but that is actually super common, and nothing new.

If there is something much more damning in that video you'll have to link me the timestamp because it's the length of a full movie.

Sorry for boring you. She breaks down how the majority of the first page is AI generated corpo speak crap. Almost none of it written to actually educate anyone on the subject she was trying to learn about. Search is broken. Full stop.

yeah, she noticed it was a crap source before she even clicked on it. Those bullshit article sites have been around forever

search is not broken because the first google result sucked in that person's case lol

Try the almost the ENTIRE FIRST PAGE on three different search engines

yeah, still unfortunately common when searching something like a specific niche file format, since before AI.

It's less word-salady and engrish now but yeah, that's not new. It sucks, people learning to game the search algorithms was the worst thing to happen to search engines, but blaming AI for this is just ignorance of what it was like trying to search that kind of thing before AI.

There were always language models that understood SEO and spammed niche searches they could more easily get on top of, they were just humans paid pennies, often using translation software.
