  • Right now we can call out people who have the “everyone who disagrees with me is a bot” mentality, but that’s going to get harder if we actually start using bots.

    Although the idea of having the bots automatically respond may not be the best solution for every case, having a more centralized knowledge database with up-to date responses against everything could be useful to the people commenting online and being able to give a very large amount of sources to anything not ground in reality.

    Chatbots are also terrible at accurately sourcing their claims

    There are ways to ground such knowledge in reality though, like having intermediary AIs/LLMs that can point to human checked sources and then having the computer copy the passages straight from there to the actual AIs that are going to make a response and to the checking AI or even humans who would help make sure the project is going well and improving on the shortcomings.

    A chatbot that needlessly invents capitalist atrocities or falsely describes the real history of socialism undercuts all that.

    A possible middle ground solution would be to use the AIs to point to online comments/texts/scientific papers/books/ that properly debunk/explain things so that, at least people who aren’t blindly believing everything, can check against and see another, actually different, point of view of matters.



  • My take on it is that: when big corporations are doing it for (direct or inderect) profit it’s stealing. It was trained on the work of artists after all and that’s the only reason they can make good images. If they can make a model that doesn’t require using images from others it would solve that issue but at least under capitalism that is too expensive to happen now so it won’t happen.

    Personal use can be fine I guess and can even allow for more creativity, like if people are using image generation to make new images/art/assets based on their own work/photos. An indie game/movie/etc where the person uses AI to expand what they can do in size is a great use of AI I’d say, giving someone the ability to do something bigger/better than they could do by themselves is what a tool should be like and gen AI should be such a tool for artists too.

    There are more cases but they might be harder to come to a conclusion on, specially as they exist in a capitalist setting.
