I like the closing out. Sometimes it is smarter to choose against, instead of for.

If artists are *compensated* when an AI uses bits of their work to "create" something, then there's no problem. It's only when these programs are "trained on" (eg steal) human artists' work and then remixes them and the artists whose work is being used are ignored instead of paid fairly, that we have a problem.

I think they messed up when they started calling it "artificial intelligence'. It is artificial but it is not intelligence. ... yet.

Awesome

Was expecting to see things like bars and restaurants where human workers are replaced. Thought McDonald's was phasing these in now?

AI can be a boon if used wisely!

Only one thing you REALLY need to know about AI: It doesn't actually exist yet. What people are calling AI is just chatbots, they don't think or feel, nor do they even have internet access. Real AI would do all of the above.

Totally skipping the ethical concerns about the prevalence of developers stealing data/source material for neural network training, I see...

[@lexruptor]

Probably because there aren't ethical concerns because training data isn't theft

[@TheGerkuman]

@@lexruptor if I make a piece of art or write an article and you decide to use it to train an algorithm and don't ask my permission first, then it's theft.

#1 AI doesn't exist.

[@PsychoJosh]

Completely useless content farming video that doesnt answer the questions it puts forward at the start. Do not give engagement, ignore and move on.

Boring
