  2.5 years later and this is still the best written and produced explanation on the social affects of AI

  I left a comment here when I was younger, defending AI, saying the tech isn&apos;t an issue<br><br>I take it all back

  <i>&quot;The irony that we&apos;re automating the production of art instead of the jobs everybody hates shouldn&apos;t be lost on us.&quot;</i> &nbsp; &nbsp;the fact that I and all my cynicism didn&apos;t cath this &apos;til you said it, &nbsp;leaves me feeling all different kinds of bad

  it took me about 10 years to convince my oil painter grandma that digital art is not &quot;telling the computer whatever you want to paint and having it generate the painting in mere seconds&quot; only to witness the emergence of &quot;AI art&quot;

  The term &quot;Artificial Intelligence&quot; has been thoroughly ruined by LLMs and Image-Generators. I can&apos;t talk about the behaviour of units in a game without people thinking now that there are hooked up to ChatGPT somehow.

  I came across your video two years ago, and I want to say a formal &quot;thank you&quot;. <br>This video was one of the major reasons that made me quit academia, and it&apos;s because I agree with every single point. <br>I entered academia 5 years ago because I love computer hardware and architecture. At the time it was fun and exciting to make GeMM, quantization or CONV run a bit faster. Seeing them approach the theoretical maximum throughput (i.e., the flat part of the roofline) gave me tangible sense of achievement and pride. I liked my work. I genuinely thought DL was the future (and I still do, but in a less optimistic way). <br>But after several years, I started to hate what&apos;s being run on the hardware I studied, researched and improved on. It was all used for meaningless monetization and abuse. The internet didn&apos;t become a better and more creative place out of it. Jobs were replaced by degraded mimics of human behavior. <br>The whole AI scene disgusts me.

  &quot;It&apos;s democratizing art and writing! Now everyone can do it!&quot; Everyone already could, buddy, get a pencil and a piece of paper and start experimenting! You probably won&apos;t be good right away, but nobody is, it takes practice.

  The word &quot;everypony&quot; out of absolutely fucking nowhere hit me like a truck.

  What&apos;s funny is that since the release of this video, people generated so much AI images that the AI itself started training on its own data, making results worse again - amazing.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MUEXGaxFDA&amp;t=1194">19:54</a><br>I&apos;m reminded of the observation that the problem with building a bear-proof container is that the smartest bears and the dumbest humans overlap. We&apos;re getting (or already at) a point where this is true for AI.
