Aren't they doing this already? Seriously have any of you been on facebook. It's full of that crap.

I like it.

It's the "Use your kid's slang to make them realize it's garbage" reverse card.

Also you know those boomers won't stop at the hundredth image, thus all the AI services will go broke.

I think you mean "justify bigger bonuses"

Bizarre AI-generated images are currently flooding Facebook, as engagement hacks and bots run rampant on the social media platform, spawning a meme-worthy image that has been dubbed “Shrimp Jesus.”

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s actually working, many people around me that were enthusiastic about AI are now pissed off by it thanks to all that shit.

So if bots flood db0 with terrible AI generated spam, then the db0 admins will stop being weird about AI?

... I'm not asking for any particular reason

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

spam is spam. We'll deal with it like any other spam.

I feel like it usually minionizes anything it touches anyways, so that's a surprisingly good fit for it.

"Potato!"

Or something. IDK, I haven't watched the movies...

I remember finding it funny and endearing when I first watched it. And then it just... never... stopped...

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Too bad the supreme court put the dagger in artists backs for AI already. It would have been great if a company would license an artists source material to make a set of variations for a limited venue. Like a company licensing a voice actor's samples, then they get to use AI to make those characters say whatever they want, in that one movie, or that one game, based on the license.

As it is now, we're going to end up with Spruce Lee fighting Hackie Chan movies, and none of the actors or their estates will get to say shit about it.

You don't really know how AI works, do you? A single voice actor couldn't produce enough lines to fully train an AI model even if they spent every second of their life in the recording booth.

So tell me then, which of the billions of input recordings do you pay licensing fees for and how much? I mean sure, we could make a law that forces AI companies to pay for every single piece of training data. Which would probably kill AI training for the entire region where this law applies, severely crippling our already weakened economy. But I guess, at least we're keeping the moral high ground while doing so.

But seriously, the EU is cooking up a pretty amazing Ai law right now. Thought out by people far brighter than you and me and it seems to be pretty amazing at balancing economic interests with ethical obligation. My hopes are high for that one!

AI deepfakes are all over the place right now. Or did you think the video of Trump being a rock star was real?

[–] XM34@feddit.org -1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

Ok? And what does this have to do with anything I wrote?

Edit: Oh, I get it. You misread the first paragraph and completely ignored the second which made you completely miss the point of my comment.

I'm not saying that you can't specialize AI to sound like a specific actor. I'm saying that you can't train a new AI model using only recordings of a single actor.

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

You can license the output of a likeness powered by AI.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

what confuses me a lot about america is how a lot of people will defend the AI's "right" to steal training data to learn (education)

when there's millions of students out there going into life long debt to go to collage, and none of the same americans are fighting for their right to learn for free

[–] a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am only critical that those models are in the hand of corporations who try to profit from it. Copyrights are mainly a tool to be wielded by the powerful: see Sony trying to disconnect ISP accounts en masse or media giants suing people into oblivion, Nintendo fucking over their fanbase again and again and so on.

The datasets should belong to an UN organisation like UNESCO, corporations/NGOs/people should be able to licence them to build their models (ev. with "community models" provided free for personal use), and the licence fees should be used to subsidize culture. This plus an UBI would make sure that artists don't have to starve, corporations can use them to try to make a profit, and everyone else can use them to create for their own or their communities use. Artists that don't want to go into the datasets have that right too, but also won't have access to that financial pool (this shouldn't be the only pool).

Fuck copyrights.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 points 44 minutes ago

Under capitalism, copyrights are a necessary tool for people to get paid for their labour in some cases. That's not the most common usecase for copyrights, but a needed one until we get a better system. Fuck copyrights being used for corporate greed though. Somehow, more people are against the former than the latter, which is super wrong. But it's not a reason to be against the former in addition to being against the latter.

[–] XM34@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

1st, I'm not Murrican, I'm German. 2nd the right to free education is one of the most important human right and the entire world is paying the price right now for neglecting this right over the past decades 3rd AI is here to stay. It's far to impactfull as a technology. Whether we like it or not. So we either create an Environment where it can thrive within certain rules or we watch as others use it to completely overtake us.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

ok? and i'm polish, i was talking about americans.

AI is not just ethically dubious, it'd also outright harmful for the already strained environment we live in. If AI stays - it won't be here for long, mostly because there won't be anoyone to ask it to generate giant hentai tits anymore

[–] SinAdjetivos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A single voice actor couldn't produce enough lines to fully train an AI model...

The model is trained on a massive corpus of existing data and then fine tuned to match the target voice actor. Using less than ~30s of reference audio you can get a pretty decent fine tuning the main issue is that it currently isn't on par with the quality and consistency of an in studio voice actor, especially over long time domains.

[–] XM34@feddit.org 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Hence my usage of the words "fully train". The other commentor wants to license every piece of audio used in training the model which obviously includes the base model...

[–] SinAdjetivos@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

You can feed an infinite amount of data into existing models and it won't improve the issues. The problem is with the models themselves.

And the audio used to train the base model are licensed. Usually under an MIT, creative commons, etc. license.

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

In Spain we trained an AI using recorded congress sessions. Within the national, regional and city halls they had a lot of material.

The boomers are dead or pensioned by now

[–] EditsHisComments@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The youngest boomers are 64 still. We may be done working with them in 10 years or so but they're stubborn. The ones still working then are the ones who never could win financially or are the ones who took advantage of everyone and never learned to stop.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

By then Gen X will have replaced them, and going on about reminiscing about how mix CDs burned from MP3s downloaded from AOL sounded better than the vinyl and TikToks the kids are listening to will be the “we drank from the hose was our curfew” of the time

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

Meh, unlikely. Gen X doesn't have the sheer numbers to drive and sustain culture. The Boomers number something like 74,000,000 and Millennials are around 83,500,000. Meanwhile Gen X only has about 49,000,000 so we're sandwiched between two Generations that are nearly double our size.
