This isn't sabotaging AI research, it's sabotaging companies who scrape information indiscriminately from the internet to power their LLM-as-a-service business. AI is far more than just OpenAI and Anthropic...

Thanks for proving that the internet is not entirely dead :)

There are many reasons people oppose this form of AI. They're endlessly discussed. You don't have to agree with them, but you should know what they are.

"has turned once functioning members of our families into harebrained imbeciles."

If I see technical zombies, they are hooked on TikToK/Insta.

And the text seemed directed against AI research in general, not the bad AI companies.

Can you describe the large scale commodity market manipulation?

> They don’t understand it and think it will replace them so they are afraid.

I don't have evidence, but I am certain that AI replaced most of all logo and simple landing pages designers already. AI in Figma is surprisingly good.

I doubt it, you’ll still need humans to create novel ideas and designs because things will get stale after a while and trends/styles will continue to evolve.

Exactly. People are getting very good at detecting AI-generated designs -- because everyone can play around with it themselves and see in what ways they always tend to look alike.

To make an impression, it will become even more important to go with a real designer who can work in creative ways to regain people's attention.

But I have little doubt that a lot of the bread-and-butter, not-too-important, I-just-need-to-have-something jobs will no longer be contracted to actual designers.

Or maybe they just don't like thieves or the parties that are currently in charge of these systems. There are as many reasons to like AI as there are to dislike it.

There are tons of open source models, there is no one party in charge of anything also training isn’t stealing.

Model training isn't stealing, but in a lot of cases still illegal, unless the license explicitly says otherwise.

Oh I'm sorry, is poor AI research failing because of my puny internet comment?

What's next? I can't publish a story about a new developer deleting lots of code because LLMs might trip over it? Goodness gracious...
