What are your thoughts on Generative Machine Learning models? Do you like them? Why? What future do you see for this technology?
What about non-generative uses for these neural networks? Do you know of any field that could use such pattern recognition technology?
I want to get a feel for what are the general thoughts of Lemmy Users on this technology.
I personally hate the path that AI is going. Generative ai steals art and scrapes text to create garbage on demand using too much power and computing resources that could be spent on better purposes, such as simulating protein folding for disease research (see folding at home). u/yogthos@lemmy.ml gave some good uses of ai.
To be honest, I think it’s a severe mistake that AI is continuing to improve, as long as you aren’t gullible and know what to look for, you can tell when something is ai generated, but there are too many people who are easily fooled by ai generated images and videos. When chatpgt released, I thought it was a nice toy, but now that I know the methods of which such large scale models are obtaining their data to train on, I can only resent it. So long as generative models continue to improve in accuracy of text and images, so will my hatred towards it in turn.
p.s: don’t use the term “AI art” for the love of God. art captures human emotions and experiences, machines can’t understand them, they are only silicon. Only humans can create art, nothing else.
