OpenAI stole research out from under mathematicians' noses and now suddenly all the STEM bros are very hot and bothered
(lemmy.world)
Didn't care when the arts and humanities were being scraped dry, but suddenly they're all coming out against it now that they're going after the sciences
AI divided us like few things before. Musicians cry out because AI steals their music while using AI generated backdrop animations on their tours and academics use ChatGPT to summarize things but become outraged when their work is fed into the machine. Lets hope tech bro audacity will unite us against them the same way they divided us.
basically everyone thinks their work doesn't deserve to be done shittily by llms but doesn't mind doing someone else's that way.
Except a large number of coders. I worked as a software engineer for a while and I can see how. It wasn't long before I no longer took any pride in the boring software I wrote for the company whose mission meant nothing to me. I would absolutely be using AI if I was still there. The code I write now is for personal satisfaction and enrichment though, so I do it myself.
Yeah I tried coding with ai assistance and it just made me mad. I spent all my time reading and correcting shitty code, which is literally the worst part of the job.
Excuse me, the boss says he wants you to make the button blue.
Can you do it?
Oh, and remember to "embrace AI" while you do it.
100000% yes.
Sadly that seems to be the case but maybe they'll come around and work together in their shared hatred for big tech eventually. Maybe this lesson can teach us to be more considerate towards each other as a society.
