I dont know why it upsets people. Maybe accept that it exists in the world and it only mimics real human creativity.
If there was a fish that could mimic and recreate human art would you be mad at the fish?
It's a plagarism machine that is being used to put actual artists out of work
Not to mention teachers (it steals our lessons and tutoring work), writers (it steals their work and rehashes it), musicians (music generation is a thing), programmers (so many code snippets, so few coding jobs), and many more.
Yeah, that's true. Humans are born knowing nothing, learn from other humans, and are then capable of making something new. Like standing on the shoulders of giants. I wonder if ML/AI is capable of that yet, or does it purely regurgitate others' work.
And if the fish did just the same, putting artists out of work, would you be just as mad that the fish exsisted?
Maybe if a fish was hooked up to a machine running terabytes (edit: actually, petabytes, probably) of stolen data through its brain, punishing it when it fails to produce similar results, until it can produce them... Then I would hate the people who did this to the fish, and the people who support them by using the fish to produce art.
Its a fish, there are millions of them. You just get one and put it an aquarium in your house and they create these works through telepathy and telekinesis.
work isn't something anyone is entitled to
Plagiarism isn't real except for capitalism and the machine of capitalist innovation has been eating jobs for as long as science has existed. If this is the reason someone is upset by AI, then I would ask why they were not mad at all the jobs that came before that had been consumed.
There's no option for me to choose a copyright-free world. But, I can choose to not use (or promote or propagate) works made by "AI" owned my MASSIVE corporations in violation of the copyrights of millions of independent, often non-profit-driven content creators (including myself).
