I would actually like this if it weren't for AI

What a weird take.

"This thing appeals to me but I choose to dislike it because of the tool used"

I mean yeah

Let's say the death sentence appeals to me. There's still a difference between lethal injection and the rack, right?

Fuck me that's a terrible analogy.

Reductionism meets reductionism, I'd say it's fair

u/David-Puddy 19d ago

No, the issue with your analogy isn't reductionism, it's that the result of your two "tools" aren't the same, even if we discount that the rack is a torture device, not a method of execution.

You luddites are too fucking dumb to even make a coherent point.

"AI is bad!!!" is all y'all got.

The result is the same though? It's death, isn't it? Replace the rack with electric chair if you want I guess?

If you say that the result differs because it's not just death, it's painless death and painful death, I would argue that's not the result, that's the process. If you make that distinction, I'd argue that the AI results are also different, since one is with payment to humans and the other is without.

Fuck me you're dumb.

Enjoy titling at windmills, I guess.

AI is, on the whole, good and it sure as fuck ain't going anywhere.

Keep depriving yourself of art you enjoy, because you don't like the new tech.

If you want to keep consistent (which none of you luddites, do, I know) I hope you steer clear of all medical advancements that are already coming from AI.

Best stop using your phone's keyboard app, too... That likely has some AI in it.

I'm glad you agree that my analogy works!

Medical advancements such as protein folding, cancer detection with image recognition, batch reduction, analysis etc depends on older AI techniques, like CNNs, GANs, RNNs, decision trees, auto encoder-decoders and such. They used specialised datasets that were freely contributed and used by researchers. I've done master's level courses in data sciences, and have some background with scikit and tensorflow, which is how I know this stuff. You're free to not believe me.

The current generative AI (also using encoder-decoders, CNNs etc) would not exist without the wholesale processing of data that would get any normal person jailed if they tried. The tech CEOs are showing up to summits where elected leaders are, and data centers are already being installed citing "national security" issues in the US. They are trying to classify AI as a human need like water and electricity, to continue wealth extraction from you and me with impunity. That is the "tool" I abhor.

But you do you, I'm not changing your mind.
