The criticism isn’t so much for AI itself, but for the mediocrity it enables.
Remember in elementary school when you were learning basic addition and subtraction? And that your teacher wouldn’t let you use a calculator even though it was capable of getting the job done (and without hallucinating bullshit numbers!)?
You teacher wasn’t ‘anti calculator’, they just recognized that tool as being harmful to their goal of training you to actually think.
AI is a tool. There are some things hammers do a really good job of, but in today’s world they’re used in everything. Want to apply paint to your car? Hammer. Do the dishes? Hammer. Brush your teeth? Hammer. It’s stupid, and not at all helpful. So now we’ve got a counter-culture growing of “fuck hammers!” in response to that stupid, but hammers aren’t really the problem… the problem is the stupid. Fuck hammers.
CLIP isn’t an llm either. point being, the pattern recognition argument doesn’t hold. they’re feature detectors, which is basically a giant grid of classifiers. that’s not what llms do.

Speaking of hammers…
Yeah I’m not going to converse with willful ignorance or arguing in bad faith. Go bother some other website.
If you take away artists, everyone pack up, because humanity is lost.

Then why did AI suck it all up and use their work?

So you’re saying that AI is built on bad art? Interesting take

So you only think people should make food that you like or it’s bad food. Got it.

I got the best laugh out of this. Thank you, you made my day. Especially, this part:
Edit: I can’t decide if I want to upvote you or downvote you, I think you actually believe what you’re saying.
