  • If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?

    Jump

  • The answer to this post, and almost everything, is to tax the wealthy.

    AI is not ruining anything. The people in control of it are.

  • who cares what people think? we're all going to die anyway, just use the words you want to use to say the things you want to say. whether or not you align with a stranger on the internet is only as relevant as you want it to be.

  • It's just obvious from your way of speaking that this is a rewriting of history, yes you have mentioned some poor world building she has done outside of her literature, that is almost entirely irrelevant to the books she has written.

    Calling her works 'mediocre' is once again, objectively incorrect and in my opinion (this is an assumption) is fuelled by your own personal feelings towards her.

  • now do a count per years of release and calculate how many jk rowling would sell if her books were out for the same amount of time?

    or is the bible the greatest piece of fiction ever?

  • does shitting on the floor exist as a major plot point in the series? No?

    you are letting your hate for a person obscure the objectivity behind the comments you are replying to.

  • How is it even possible to afford $800 for insulin? It boggles the mind

  • How do I explain my reluctance to use generative AI in good faith?

    Jump

  • The problem is it's incredible rare to find others that are willing to change their minds in return, so every discussion either involves you changing your mind, or the other person getting agitated.

  • How do I explain my reluctance to use generative AI in good faith?

    Jump

  • A discussion in good faith means treating the person you are speaking to with respect. It means not having ulterior motives. If you are having the discussion with the explicit purpose of changing their minds or, in your words, "alarming them to take action" then that is by default a bad faith discussion.

    If you want to discuss with a pro-AI person in good faith, you HAVE to be open to changing your own mind. That is the whole point of a good faith discussion - but rather, you already believe you are correct, and are wanting to enter these discussions with objective ammunition to defeat somebody.

    How do you actually discuss in good faith? You ask for their opinions and are open to them, then you share your own in a respectful manner. You aren't trying to 'win' you are just trying to understand and in turn, help others to understand your own POV.

  • What is your own personal meaning of life?

    Jump

  • With this perspective, is death really a 'meaning' to life, or is it rather a 'fuel' for more life?

    If it's the latter, then that implies there is another meaning to life. There is a circle which keeps the wheel of life spinning - but where is the wheel going, and why?

    The ultimate death of everything, perhaps, in which case I suppose you are correct.

  • What is your own personal meaning of life?

    Jump

  • The meaning of life (to you) could be to: "Just be here because here is where we happen to be."

    It's not that deep, really. Some people want to have an impact, others just want to chill. I'm just curious what people's first response is to that question and so far I have seen lots of interesting comments.

  • What to you, is always a losing battle?

    Jump

  • nobody is gonna convince me of anything now

    This is part of the problem. If two people engage in open debate and neither of them can be convinced to change their minds about anything, then what exactly is the point?

    I will listen to people and engage with their arguments, and remain openminded to be convinced. Life isn't that simple and believing you know all the answers is naive.

  • How do I protect my drawings against AI?

    Jump

  • If that is how you feel about AI, then you would need to stop posting on social media and probably even stop having text conversations on your phone. Stop buying things online, stop watching YouTube, etc.

    Every bit of virtual footprint that you have will, in some way, be used to train AI / machine learning / be sold for marketing purposes.

    I don't think stopping your life because AI exists is the right thing to do. Those 'other artists losing their jobs' would also be fuelling AI wiht this logic, so we should all stop making art?

  • Trump Hit With Devastating All-Time Low Approval Ratings

    And yet he and his administration continue to destroy the world like nothing happened.

  • How do I protect my drawings against AI?

    Jump

  • I feel your response warrants quite a deep and philosophical response in return.

    No reason to share my drawings

    That depends why you were sharing them in the first place. It does suck that your content will be stolen and potentially recreated in the future - I have to ask, how do you foresee that affecting you?

    Let's go back to 2010, you share your drawings, some people see and enjoy them, and the world keeps spinning. Is that what you want to share them for, for people to enjoy them?

    If that's the case, then my question is: Why does that change if AI is scraping your drawings?

    People will still see and enjoy your drawings, regardless of whether AI consumed them or not.

    it will only be good to the AI corporations

    Why will it only be good to the AI corporations? That implies that it wouldn't be good to anyone anyway, in which case, there is no point posting them either way - but I don't think that's true. I think it's good for you to share your drawings and get feedback, and it's good for other people to see them. The addition of AI is a negative one, but it doesn't remove the good, it just adds some bad.
