whats ur stance on ai

I personally really dislike it, most ai supports Israel, steals jobs from artist, therapist, writers, and more. It also uses an extreme amount of water, which I heavily disliked since it can damage the environment if animals living in water. 

Since it's so advanced now people can use it for slander to falsely make videos of one who's innocent doing a crime. I just really hate AI.

BIG FAT THUMBS DOWN 

As someone majoring in Cybersecurity here is my take on it:

> It should not, and should never have been used for art, music, film or anything creative.

> It should be developed more to where it isn't using up natural resources or requiring huge DATA centers 

> People higher up in cyber tech need to be more willing to be patient and teach REAL PEOPLE how to do their job instead of having them do miniscule jobs and trying to replace bigger jobs with unregulated machines.

Seeing AI artwork used in company branding, signage, and advertisements gets exhausting. Unfortunately I don't see this going away anytime soon. It's much cheaper and quicker to have ChatGPT create advertising material than hiring an agency for the same task

I used to use it a lot because I unforntuately got very addicated to ai-chatbots. Luckily I broke out of that and roleplay with real people now which is obejectively more fun. Though I hate to say it , it did help me improve my english and writing in general. 

Nowadays I am very against it and all the ways it's utilized. Ai can be a helpful tool for checking simple things or summarizing texts but I would argue that it shouldn't even do that. It's being so normalized everywhere!

From social media, to ads, to that god forsaken google summary feature and , the place where I take the most offense in, creative fields. 

Authors are being replaced

Artists are being replaced

Filmmakers are being replaced,

Content creators are being replaced ,

Musicians are being replaced

 Anything human made, fed into Ai and replaced by soulles copies. Luckily the greedy coorperations that used Ai as a quick way to save costs are being slowly remined of the fact that a vast majority of people don't really want Ai to replace everything in their lives. We can only stay loud and hope that Ai won't take over everyting that makes us creative and more importantly, human.

i believe ai has its uses when it comes to medical stuff and being used as an ACTUAL tool in that regard, but making it readily accessible to the public was a huge mistake. replacing human creativity with ai "artwork" of any kind (music, writing, art of course) really just makes me super sad, because from what i've seen and read most people have generative ai create for them because they think they can't do it themselves, or they get discouraged by their own skills not being "good enough". all art created by real human beings is infinitely more valuable than anything a machine can produce, no matter your skill level, and no matter how good ai pretends to be.
and then there's the environmental impact which is a whole other thing. in short, generative ai that exists for the purpose of outsourcing all your thinking and creativity SUCKS and is ASS and people need to stop being lazy and just sit down and create something real.

personally think it should only be used as a tool or to help do research, it should NEVER be used to replace human creativity.

im very anti-ai so i guess im extreme for this, but i think it should be banned and made illegal. nobody asked for ai, yet companies are shoving it in their services as if we couldn’t live without it.

It’s a technology that should’ve never been released to the public. I feel it’s done more harm than good, and there’s no way back. We’re absolutely fucked.

Generative AI is a blight on humanity

They're using AI to dub commercials in my country (????)

As a Artist who happens to have ties to the Film and Animation Industry, I have a 50/50 stance, in the sense that it entirely depends on the HUMAN who used it and what they used it for, cuz it's a tool, no different than a computer or a car.

So for example, if you use AI to help you generate references for your characters and concepts you wanna draw or animate etc based on your own data, you can absolutely do that. Many Creatives in the Industry for 2D and 3D work, especially with Anime, are doing just that, cuz making games and films are pretty time consuming and hard to make when Sponsors and Producers hold unreasonable deadlines over you to finish, but still expect you to produce the best quality work regardless. Alot of people in the Industry have developed health issues because of the unfairness of Executives, so if they wanna use AI in some way to cut corners to help them finish the final product faster, I'm not gonna be mad about it. I've done that kind of work myself, so I can empathize. I can't see myself meeting my colleagues in a week from now. (from Disney etc) and going "you used AI?? Death to you! You're a Pos", like how so many of you teens/ young people seem to push. As Creatives in the Industry, we're always looking for shortcuts that help make the job easier, because of the deadlines.

With regards to Deepfake Tech which is not new  - there are things in place for that, such as the fact that you're supposed to get (written) permissions from the person's whom you are using,  and license agreements etc before you do Deepfake content, as well as pay the person you're using. But most people often bypass these and go straight for the illegal use, which I don't support.

If you use Ai to help you do research on certain things, organize your documents, do choirs, help you find locations on a map, use it to help you learn about a culture or a new language,  use it for medical and therapy applications, to help you brainstorm ideas (like for creating a new invention), use it to help you see or hear etc - something that actually helps humans, I'm ok with this too.

What I am not for is when people abuse the AI, such as subjecting it to nsfw, asking it to make csam or degrading content of women and girls, when it's used to scam people or hack people or used to spy on people or used to make hate propaganda etc.

Ultimately for me, I generally don't blame the software most of the time for doing "bad things" - (except in the case of Character AI. They can go f**k themselves honestly cuz they did a terrible coding job with the AI system there.) I usually blame the human behind it who controls it and judge the human for how they used it, no different than how one judges someone who walks around with a gun and misused it.

I think it’s both bad and good. It definitely helps make things easier, opens new opportunity windows and overall helps in the technological way. It has improved much from how it was 76 years ago in good and bad ways. Generative ai is good too, however it isn’t used in the right way, yet people will still blame all AI. people may misuse it. Some of it harms the planet. But then again everything harms the planet. Plastics, fossil fuels, yet we can’t really get rid of it unless we have a cheaper and better alternative. I think AU has potential as a good thing. You may hate it however you want but it’ll still be there. Plus what’s the point of hating something you can’t escape🤷‍♀️ 

"AI" is a dumb catchall so most of what I'm saying is about LLMs specifically. LLMs definitely are a good thing but you have to not use them like an idiot. It's insanely useful for what I work on as a developer, LLMs do a really good job at explaining library documentation and debugging (so you basically get your own personal StackOverflow) as well as code checks. They're also getting pretty good at code generation but I'm too lazy to buy a subscription for good enough models so I've yet to really take advantage of that. Vibe coding proper obviously isn't a very good idea (at least for important projects), but people really love to conflate that with using LLMs for development correctly.

Most of the issues people have with "AI" are really Big Tech problems. Memory prices are largely the result of stupid planning. Datacenter environmental impact is almost always dramatized (and honestly barely an issue compared to many other industries), and even then it won't remain as large of an issue in the long term as the tech gets more efficient (and it eventually will, the way datacenters are currently set up is far from financially viable). "Stealing people's work/code/articles/whatever" is a complete non-issue, modern models generally will not just provide you a source verbatim and intellectual property is an absolutely retarded concept to begin with. The high-scale web scraping is obnoxious for sysadmins but the concept of AI does not inherently necessitate borderline-DDoSing sites you want to get data from, so it is a company-specific problem. Energy prices are very much a real issue, but it's one that could be mitigated by not giving publicly-funded subsidies to datacenters and/or adopting nuclear power.

Well you just said AI, now what kind of AI. I love my AI in single player video games where the enemy is ai. Generative ai. Not so much.

AI can be great for a lot of things, like reasearch in medical field! Generative AI is where I draw the line. Lot of people see AI and think its genAI, no, learn the difference! 

For GenAI I think it just should be banned, too many deepfakes are being made, too much data is being stolen, you dont feel safe anymore. Stealing data and making fakenews may be the reason it will never be banned since corporatives love stealing our data. I already see it being regulated, or at least its trying to be, like when you have AI commercial it warns you it is indeed ai, but its not enough. I hope there will be more and stricter laws about GenAi and privacy...
