"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I never understood that. Are they suddenly not using stolen works? I grant them that it has fewer of the ecological concerns, but it still has all of the ethical concerns (potentially more, considering deepfakes aren't being restricted).
Anarchists dont recognize copyright as a moral or ethical framework.
No, but we do recognize scabbing, plus lets not forget the effects AI has had on people's mental health. I would also argue there is a moral and ethical issue with taking other people's work without crediting that goes beyond just copyright. Particularly so when trying to profit off of it.
Lastly, to build off of my scabbing point. If we look at prior historical cases that are comparable, like the automation that sparked the Luddite movement, I think that its easy to see how anti-AI is pro-worker. AI (like industrialization) costs workers jobs, and while we live in a society that requires you to work to live, that is bad. It is not to say industrialization (or AI in this case) is inherently bad. Just simply that until society no longer works this way, it is harmful to workers. And in case it needs clarification, artists are workers.
