Really? Honestly it’s the most innocent use if you’re not the kind of person to get hooked on them
Image AI: Fuck you
I get why people have this harsh stance, but without my locally-hosted AI doing concept work for me then my avatar as you see it here wouldn’t exist nor would an artist be considerably more wealthy than they were before I commissioned them. I get that I’m in the minority by a wide margin, but people like me exist in decent amounts too
Commercial AI in general: And fuck you, I’m out!
Yeah, commercial AI is the problem. I cannot begin to understand being upset at someone running it locally and not for profit though, which happens a lot
I agree, locally hosted AI tools for image or text generation don’t use lots of power, only do what a user wants and not what a corp wants, and are a valid hobby or working tool. It’s sad that so many people are blinded by their hate towards corporate AI and don’t differentiate.
I am a terrible artist, but if i need a quick picture for a presentation or just a new desktop background, i sure as shit would never commission something but would just go without if there’s nothing with a CC license that fits. Today i have the possibility to get exactly what i want, and not one byte gets transferred outside of my home network, There is no lost sale for any artists, and i still have something that is aesthetically pleasing.
Same with chatbots - i mainly use them as a quick reference for commands when i don’t want to read 15 screens worth of man pages or when i am again stuck creating a RegEx.
Data analysis and forecasting chaotic systems too complex for brute force numerical hijinks are great applications for neural networks. One dude I saw was doing his PhD on nowcasting (weather forecasts of the very short term (10 to 90 min. range) showers and thunderstorms with neural networks. Interesting stuff.
The average anti-ai zealot only know about Diffusion and Large Language models because they once used ChatGPT for 15 minutes, read some memes and are now an expert on how AI is ruining society.
To be fair, the sloppier side of AI has a much more direct effect on society than niche scientific and engineering applications, but I get what you’re after.
Oh yeah, most people see AI as ‘the thing that has made search completely unusable’ and not ‘The thing that has solved protein folding’.
It’s like the Internet is full of cavemen who are screaming and throwing rocks at a fire while, elsewhere, others are building jet turbines and combustion engines.
Chatbots: Fuck you
Image AI: Fuck you
Partially use of AI in complex film productions etc: Fine
Plant recognition: You’re cool
Surveillance AI: Fuck you
Scientific use of machine learning: Great!
Commercial AI in general: And fuck you, I’m out!

AI for subtitles: You’ve been a long way but now you’re cool

Plus we’ve had that shit in research since I was in grad school over a decade ago. People acting like machine learning is new. Smh
