  • I don't think "some kid" experiencing "great joy" at AI slop is worth the spam from scammers and environmental impacts.

    Also, the majority of people using AI are not running it locally. If people were running it locally, on low power to preserve the environment, with content that artists consented to have trained, to use exclusively for non-commercial use, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

    But that isn't reality.

    Cars are dangerous, yet we live in a society that...

    Cars are dangerous, that's why they can only be used by licensed operators (both for safety and environmental impact), are heavily regulated, and still have problems coming from overreliance that would have been easier to solve before we built infrastructure around them.

    It's why we've seen things like walkable cities and public transit come back as popular ideas.

  • I don't think there's really a "demand" per se. It seems to me like the vast vast majority of AI "art" and text is spam. Many of these users seem to be using cheap/free versions of whatever LLM or image generators.

    OpenAI is by far the most popular, but also said that even on the most expensive $200/month plan, they are losing money.

    Is this "demand" going to exist if and when they inevitably raise the price?

    If and when Facebook makes changes to how they monetize posts, will the shrimp Jesus spammers move on to the next scheme?

    Will the businesses using AI for customer service and data entry keep using it if it costs more than using human employees?

    This whole "industry" is teetering on a knifes edge.
