1 month agoI reckon this argument would be a whole lot more convincing if you could go more in-depth into FOSS genAI. Most of the genAI use cases I see around the internet are centered on corporate AI and spreading more awareness on how to move away from corporations (while also reducing environmental harm) would go a long way.
That’s beside my personal dislike for AI generated content, which, as you said, is subjective. I’m open to genAI usage where it actually benefits humanity as a whole more than it does harm.
Addition: while copyright and IP are obviously capitalist bullshit, it is still nice to be able to give credit to artists. Or at least obtain consent before using their works for training. Does FOSS genAI take this point into account?
It might be subjective, but I don’t think it’s morally right to use someone’s work without giving them credit. Even if it’s a general disclaimer on the AI model in general and not on every piece of content generated.
In general, I believe that people who contribute to society should be recognized and acknowledged, and artists without a doubt contribute a lot. Even if genAI becomes more widespread, without humans constantly adding to the training data it won’t be able to output anything of high enough quality.
