Cunts, the lot.

The best succinct description of llm that I've read was "plagiarism machine", because that's basically what they are: automated plagiarism. At best they create a collage of other works, at worst they copy one work verbatim, but they never create something original because they can't.

Copying something is a lot easier and thus cheaper than creating an original work from scratch, so genuine creators cannot hope to compete on cost. Which leads to less people being able to afford to earn a living from creating works, which leads to less original works being created.

Short term that's great for the neoliberal company executives: fire the expensive artists, create cheap slop with the plagiarism machine, and thus maximize profits now. That the plagiarism machine becomes stagnant because not enough new original works are being created is a future problem, by which time the current executives will have already jumped ship.

But while it's great for the neoliberal business model, for the rest of society it will suck. So now that we have confirmation that the AI executives know how bad their products are, and that they were just publicly lying about it in the style of tobacco executives, will anything be done about this "astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions"? Personally I doubt it, there's too much regulatory capture.

AI is the borg.

It is inherently evil in its creation and uses.

It doesn’t have to be, but it largely is.

Internet search is terrible now. Every website I go to reads like it was generated by an LLM.

A vast minority of this community interacts with llm ever and it shows

Actually surprised how candid some of these statements are. Maybe points to more internal resistance than I would have assumed... like, they see the problem.

Their focus on threats to media companies is probably borne out of fear of litigation, so maybe they only pay a lil lip service to how they also hurt "content creators" (people).

Could also be that they know that when talking to the representatives of runaway financial automatons like multinational corporations, they have to appeal in terms the machine will understand.

LLMs are NOT destroying the planet. It's the humans running the companies making LLMs.

Hide it from the public? All you have to do is just think about it.

We're about to enter the age of A.I. inbreeding.

Whoopsies

One more generation of this shit, two at most, and tech will be working for the people again, unless we blow everything to smithereens before then.

They knew what they were doing every step of the way. They are criminals that need to be disarmed and locked away. And we need to create a new Internet from scratch somehow thanks to these donkeys.
