This really disgusts me, and it confounds me. What is he thinking?
Certainly a smart, well-informed writer like Thom Hartmann knows all the problems caused by so-called artificial intelligence. Asking AI to create artwork is a *huge* waste of valuable resources — water and energy — not to mention probable infringement on the rights of original image creators. Plus it feeds right into the hands of thieving capitalist mega-corporations, the kind that a liberal like Hartmann presumably opposes.
Using AI in this way is indefensible. It’s wrong, and it must be condemned.
I’ve stopped following Hartmann (@ThomHartmann) and I hope you will too.

Google is absolutely cooked as a web search engine, thanks to the current crop of LLM chatbot AI.
The scope of the harm it will do while slowly sinking into irrelevance is immeasurable, though.

My problem with AI isn't the people who use it purposefully and meaningfully, but the people who sell it as a all-in-one tool which it isn't, cannot be and will never be.
Case in point: there were absolutely no malicious intent in the situation described in this post, and yet the AI user didn't have control over the output and it was a very bad surprise for the person in question.

But don't worry, the company that is unable to correctly implement a toggle switch assures us that they definitely implemented this new immensely complex piece of technology nobody asked for directly in the operating system in a way that is secure and under no circumstances puts anyone in danger in ways security researchers said it will.

Meta to chociaż poinformowała, że będzie wykorzystywała dane ludzi do trenowania #AI.
#X, który też z nich korzysta do trenowania chatbota #Grok, nie uznał za stosowne nikogo o tym informować.
Do organów ochrony danych osobowych w 9 krajach trafiły skargi przygotowane przez austriacką organizację @noyb.eu - na bezprawne wykorzystywanie danych osobowych użytkowników w UE/EOG do szkolenia technologii X.

Ed Zitron comments in the last episode of tech won't save us something that I find interesting to point out about #generativeAI , even if it is obvious:
Let's imagine we all accept #AI generators and create a new internet based on them (or a large majority, at least). In that case (which is somewhat the business model pursued by #bigtech), we would reach a point where systems would be able to be trained only on content created by themselves.
Thanks @parismarx 🥰

I worked hard on some 3D artwork. Before it will be ready to publish, I need to make a compilation of work-in-progress screenshots and wireframes, to prove that it's not AI-generated, and to avoid people asking what AI prompt I used to generate the image. 😖😖
