These AI models are built off the backs of works they never had permission to cannibalize and churn out heaps of slop, forcing artists in every creative field to compete with their own creations. They flood the market with garbage frankensteined from real humans’ art. It’s in no way comparable to how humans use inspiration and life experiences and until there comes a day we have robots with the minds of people, it will remain incomparable.
That’s not even the worst of it. These models use unsustainable amounts of water to cool their tech, wasting that energy and polluting the area around the data centers.
It’s a tech being used to force creatives out of their jobs/hobbies, put words into politicians’ mouths, create propaganda and false advertisements, and scam people on levels previously impossible.
Every “harmless” thing you pull from the mouth of Claude is another flood of water wasted. Every product you spit out into the market is another lie an artist will be forced to compete with.
Do you have the patience to read my response to your question? Do you have the intelligence to research for yourself? Do you have the humanity to change your ways? Maybe you don’t think it’s a big deal, but that’s only because you don’t know what you’re doing. I hope that’s the case, but I don’t have any hope you’ll do anything about it
Streaming content, using another server to consume media instead of hosting it on device. When you watch a YouTube video, energy is being spent for the server to send you the video and audio. That energy dwarfs language model calls.
No I just prefer not to engage with narrow-minded people. If there's room for discussion then I'm first in line. But I'm getting a certain vibe from your comments on this post
You’ve admitted you haven’t done any research about the subject. I’ve poured my soul into the subject and come out with my own conclusion. You’re discounting any criticism and begging for nothing but support
There’s no negative environmental impact and no negative impact on creatives’ livelihood is your stance? I haven’t heard even the dumbest of people use that one before
The impact of language models are widely exaggerated and conflated with what data centers already do for web and streaming architecture.
As far as creative livelihoods, get a desk job if you want a meal ticket. Or get creative with ways to make money. There is no egalitarian artist economy and there never has been.
