You could say fascism is inevitable. Just look at the elections in Europe or the situation in the USA. Does that mean we cant complain about it? Does that mean we cant tell people fascism is bad?
Make it illegal and the funding will dry up and it will mostly die. At least, it wouldn’t threaten the livelihood of millions of people after stealing their labor.
Am I promoting a ban? No. Ai has its use cases but is current LLM and image generation ai bs good? No, should it be banned? Probably.
This isn’t even close to what I was arguing. Like any major technology, all economically competitive countries are investing in its development. There are simply too many important applications to count. It’s a form of arms race. So the only way a country may see fit to ban its use in certain applications is if there are international agreements.
The objections to AI image gens, training sets containing stolen data, etc. all apply to LLMs that provide coding help. AI web crawlers search through git repositories compiling massive training sets of code, to train LLMs.
Then most likely you will start falling behind… perhaps in two years, as it won’t be as noticable quickly, but there will be an effect in the long term.
This is a myth pushed by the anti-ai crowd. I’m just as invested in my work as ever but I’m now far more efficient. In the professional world we have code reviews and unit tests to avoid mistakes, either from jr devs or hallucinating ai.
“Vibe coding” (which most people here seem to think is the only way) professionally is moronic for anything other than a quick proof of concept. It just doesn’t work.
“i am fine with stolen labor because it wasn’t mine. My coworkers are falling behind because they have ethics and don’t suck corporate cock but instead understand the value in humanity and life itself.”
I use gpt to prototype out some Ansible code. I feel AI slop is just fine for that; and I can keep my brain freer of YAML and Ansible, which saves me from alcoholism and therapy later.
Rejecting the inevitable is dumb. You don’t have to like it but don’t let that hold you back on ethical grounds. Acknowledge, inform, prepare.

No, but you should definitely accept the reality, inform yourself, and prepare for what’s to come.
Ai isn’t magic. It isn’t inevitable.

Illegal globally? Unless there’s international cooperation, funding won’t dry up - it will just move.
That is such a disingeous argument. “Making murder illegal? People will just kill each other anyways, so why bother?”
The concept that a snippet of code could be criminal is asinine. Hardly enforceable nevermind the 1st amendment issues.

Wait, you don’t have to like it, but ethical reasons shouldn’t stop you?
You probably create AI slop and present it proudly to people.
AI should replace dumb monotonous shit, not creative arts.
I couldn’t care less about AI art. I use AI in my work every day in dev. The coworkers who are not embracing it are falling behind.
Edit: I keep my AI use and discoveries private, nobody needs to know how long (or little) it took me.
That’s what the OP is about, so…
Has AI made you unable to read?
Just because I don’t have a personal interest in AI art doesn’t mean I can’t have opinions.

Lmao relax dude. It’s just software.
