Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I think the art industry should adapt AI it's just another tool (lemmy.world)

I think it's good that it exist though it being own by giant corporation and the copyright issues along with it is questionable. But in terms increasing productivity it's obvious. Though everyone can generate but not everyone has an artistic mindset and be able to produce what their thinking. Artist should leverage it to increase or get inspiration for their next big thing, essentially treat it like those custom brushes but on a higher level. Imagine animators having the ability to tweak movements in between frames making it super crisp without much effort. All they will have to do now is produce key frames and describe the in between process. Graphic artist generating starting scenes which they can work further to do some concept art. No longer having to spend overtime animating a scene for an episode that is to be aired the next day. A mangaka having to draw backgrounds for their manga. This means no need to do overtime to reach a certain quality that customers demand. Though the question it replacing artist entirely at some point in the future, I don't think it will happen since people in general especially to art wants a human touch on things. Though if that time comes we might have a bigger question to answer.

I 100% agree with you.

There's two big questions that need to be tackled: how do we fit AI into copyright law (I think latest case law suggests there's no copyright with AI generated images), and how do we make sure everyone's personal rights are protected (talking impersonation, blackmail, phishing, etc)?

AI stealing jobs is overblown imo. Tech giants are trying, but turns out it just makes people work a bit faster, it's not a magic wand. Some companies are rehiring and it's a giant shit show. Same goes for AGI, most experts will tell you that AGI will either never happen, it won't happen in the way we think it will, or it will still be more than 30y which means it's not a priority for us rn and it shouldn't be.

To me it feels so much like the industrialization. The issue is not the production or the mekanisms, it's who's using them and how they're used. Nothing changed from before we had AI, there's good and bad uses for it and we ought to really question how this is a clear net negative for us when I don't see it.

There's one thing that deserves more focus, like it always does: military application. We're talking gathering Intel, deducing strategies or digital warfare. It enables people to use it as a propaganda acceleration for example, or like they do in the Mossad as a means to plan war crimes in the form of air strikes on civilians. That said, I think things like this would happen without AI, but we should find ways to make it harder to use AI in this context.

Overall I don't understand why people hate the tool instead of the person holding it and what they're doing with it. AI is like a baseball bat and people are scared you can murder someone with it, while they're running around with knives.
