You need to let go of your overall attitude that people who have different preferences and opinions on things are misinformed. You might learn something. As it stands your takes I’ve come across of yours across the fediverse are those of someone who hasn’t seen much of the world but needs everyone else to know how much you know.
My hatred of AI comes from seeing the double standard between how mass market media companies treat us when we steal from them vs when they steal from us. They want it to be a fully one way street when it comes to law and enforcement. House of Mouse owns all the media they create and that remixes work they create. When we create a new original idea, by the nature of the training model, they want to own that, too.
I also work with these tech bro industry leaders. I know what they’re like. When they say to you they want to make it easier for non-artistic people to create art, they’re not telling you about an egalitarian and magnificent future. They’re telling you about how they want to stop paying the graphic designers and copy editors who work in their company. The vision they have for the future is based on a fundamental misunderstanding about whether or not the future presented in Bladerunner is:
a) Cool and awesome
b) Horrifying
They want to enslave sentient beings to do the hard work of mining, driving, and shopping for them. They don’t want those people doing art and poetry because they want them to be too busy mining, driving, and shopping. This whole thing. This whole current wave of AI technology, it doesn’t benefit you except for fleetingly. LLMs, ethically trained, could, indeed, benefit society at large, but that’s now who’s developing them. That’s not how they’re being trained. Their models are intrinsically tainted by the double standard these corporations have because their only goal is to benefit from our labor without benefiting us.

That’s a great summary of the core issue!
I adore the folks doing cool new things with AI. I am unhappy with the folks deciding what should get funded next in AI.
The people being oversold are the people who don’t know anything about it. I guess you can hate the people doing the over selling, but don’t hate the field. It’s one of the most promising areas of computer research being done right now.
No.
As an actual subject matter expert, I hate all of this, because assholes are overselling it to people who don’t know better.
Bullshit, stop lying about your credentials. You don’t understand it and you’re a luddite, that’s why you hate it
You can use an AI mushroom foraging guide, if you like it so much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AI has NOTHING to do with theft4. Didn’t bother reading past that because I presume the rest is also rehashing utter tripe
^ai models are literally trained on vast swathes of stolen content bro^
