“And as the internet becomes dominated by these centralized platforms and the sites they trawl for content, so begins the vicious cycle of the Habsburg AI...There's also no way to escape the fact that these hungry robots require legal plagiarism, and any number of copyright assaults could massively slow their progress.” https://www.wheresyoured.at/are-we-watching-the-internet-die/
From the linked article: “Those who rely on generative AI to create are not creators any more than a person that commissions a portrait is an artist. Altman and his ilk believe they're the new Leonardo Da Vincis, but they're little more than petty kings and rent-seekers trying to steal the world's magic.”
@lilithsaintcrow Ah, I see we're taking a nostalgic trip back to the good old days when everything ran on horse and buggy, and the pinnacle of communication was scribbling letters on parchment with quills. I suppose next you'll be lamenting the loss of black and white television and the sheer joy of winding up a cassette tape. Let's just ignore the wonders of AI and LLM technology, shall we? After all, who needs progress when you can stick to your trusty landline phones and fossil fuel-powered contraptions? Oh, the irony of longing for the past while typing away on your high-tech device. How quaint.
