I don’t think people realize how dangerous the ability to generate photorealistic images and videos in instants is. If they combine this shit with AR/VR technology (spoiler: they will) it’s over, we are heading straight into Brave New World.

There's a million art forms and mediums that were born of certain material conditions, and died with them. The specifics of their production lost to time. Yes, knowing how to treat a canvas so it doesn't rot, and apply paint in such a way that it dries without cracking, is tedium. It's just a tithe to material science and it's not creative. 90% of manual art production is tedium. Even if it's not tedium, the fact that it might be enjoyable is just a fortituous circumstance, not the whole point of the process. There's better ways to get off.
>>2427234Yeah there are current limitations with the technology but is that really different to having limitations with your own talent and skill? Not all auteur directors had unlimited budgets and could get everything they wanted either. Yet they can work within their limits and still produced art.
>>2427237>as if the process of making something has no bearing on the final product. Never said the process has no bearing. But it's still an expression of creativity and can be art.
>its a fundamentally idealist way of thinking,No, because you are using physical computers and electricity to produce it.
> the process is just busywork tedium.Some people find aspects of an art tedious but still like the overall project of creating it. Does that disqualify them from being "true" artists? Do they have to love every part 100% no exceptions?
>>2427237none of this disqualifies prooompting either.
you prooompt, see result, adjust prompt. more than anything, you editorialize: pick an image from a set of variants, like one might pick a shot from multiple photograph takes: the real creative aspect.
>>2427327>But what use is it to the average person to be able to generate images and videos that are almost indistinguishable from real life?It means a small group or a hobbyist can now conceivably create an animated feature film that used to require an entire studio and an industry, genius.
Just like the internet killed magazines, there no longer has to be an intermediary between creator and audience, and no cost to the physical production process.
>>2416588yeah dude, THAT is the most important thing happening right now, that is the BIG problem.ç
I can tell you are a white pig firstworlder, I can smell the decadence from a mile away.
>>2490867Why would people stop making art just because others are choosing to use AI?
You must be trollin
Based, we need another Luigi Mangione to blow up a data center.
>>2491150Guy who thinks AI minion gore videos makes full communism possible
>>2416527I agree, but the pandora box is open now.
There isn't a way to close it, so we have to make do with the Gen-AI future.
>>2490856>LLMs can be used for stylometry to identify and track anyone from how they write.that would be automating an already existing process, you can also use an LLM to generate a text for you (which will probably be identifiable as a generic machine-generated text, maybe with a model specification)
>Current machine learning models can be used for better tracking than before such as facial tracking and tracking by locomotion pattern. both already in use for a long time
>It can be used to flood the internet with generated images to push down photos or art the government or individuals do not want people to see. Bots can be used to better manipulate opinions by tailoring it to a specific group or individual. large for-profit corporations owning major websites generally don't want additional incoming traffic and taken up storage space they can't monetize in any way (such as advertisements and data collection), this is why i predict it will mostly result in captchas getting more annoying and even more websites refusing to work without javascript enabled or with "unusual" browser agents
>>2499241you are more than welcome to mass grave me right now, no troika needed <3
>>2499114>What in the actual fuck are people seeing in these LLMs?i unironically suppose that the models' sycophancy could be their biggest selling point for most casual users
see the "keep 4o" movement, provoked by the model's change from GPT-4o's sycophancy and high emotion to GPT-5's "robotic" speak, and since now ChatGPT are rolling out
real-time automatic routing of models
https://leftypol.org/tech/res/30810.html#31407 to "protect sensitive groups", a routing from 4o to 5-thinking is seemingly provoked by benign words like "illegal", the function itself unable to be disabled by the end user.
an unfolding contradiction between a share of paying end-users and a physical hardware limitation on openAI's server side presumably unable to handle this much traffic with users of legacy (less efficient) models like 4o
i recommend keeping the spectacles on
>>2416636>Then wield it as a tool of political power.PMC socialists: "first Hitler (Netanyahu), then us!"

>>2426383>I still think it's goodwriting neoliberal fanfiction for a book you haven't read is so typical of these soulless Jeffrey Epstein adjacent tech guys who brag about not reading Shakespeare

>>2427341>there no longer has to be an intermediary between creator and audience, and no cost to the physical production process.lol everyone knows the AI boom thing revolves around materialist property ownership, like Nvidia computer chips and Amazon web servers etc. Typical for the PMC class, this pretentious socialist imageboard has the most coherent neoliberal idealist ideology seen since the '90s
>>2499232>result in captchas getting more annoyingnta, but I'm surprised how few (if any) of the tech bros have asked themselves why CAPTCHAs are still a thing if AI is so great. CAPTCHAs are meant to be a Turing test of sorts (literally in the name). If powerful AI were available, any spammer could use it to defeat CAPTCHAs, making CAPTCHAs useless, meaning we shouldn't need to be pestered with this shit anymore.
Or is this what the tech bros have their "AI vs. AGI" cop-out for?
