  • YouTuber Hank Green Is Facing a Fan Revolt Over His AI Use

  • This is misleading and dishonest.

    This is weirdly accusatory. I'm not sitting here in a black cape and stovepipe top hat, twirling my mustache.

    Its not just looking up a single free information. Ai does more than that. Ai will not only scrape and copy the entire article, it will also scrape and copy the entirety of Wikipedia. There are licenses attacked to the Wikipedia article we have to follow to, if we scrape and use it for other purposes. It will also scrape the entire web. That is not the same as just looking up an Avalanche in Pakistan killed ten climbers.

    If this is the way we're going to look at it then I guess we have to throw this technology out the window. It seems like a bad idea to do that though.

  • Off course we say its a legitimate concern if someone unethically steals data and publishes a book with that data

    We have a legitimate concern with that particular book, not all books.

  • It can be trained on the exact same free data that we can be trained on. Just like us, it doesn't have to bypass paywalls. I think they're arguing that if I can look at the Wikipedia and tell you that an avalanche in Pakistan killed ten climbers, then AI should be allowed to as well.

  • But first, my personal problem with Ai doesn’t matter to this disussion, as I was talking about what people could have an issue with, not about my personal problems.

    Okay. Then the problem that people, not you particularly, have with AI isn’t with the technology itself nor its use, but the methods by which the companies "grow and harvest it", so to speak.

    Which I don't even think is true. People have just lost their minds over this. If a company unethically steals data and publishes a book with that data, we don't say that there are legitimate concerns using books.

  • This is like saying that smoking weed is unethical because of the murderous actions of the cartels who grow and distribute it. You're problem with AI isn't with the technology itself nor its use.

  • Like I said, if they can fix that problem, then I'm fine with it. The resources it currently consumes is the reason why I kind of detest 4K and 8K AI videos. But I also kind of detest 4K and 8K TVs and monitors. We don't need that many god damn pixels. Unless you're a bird of prey, 4K is a complete waste of electricity.

  • I disagree with the moral panic about AI stealing things. They're not Xerox machines. It does exactly what humans do except faster. Before AI, this YouTuber was reading a bunch of stuff, "stealing" things from it, and putting it back together in a different way, just like AI, except he actually understands what he's reading.

    I am concerned though about the resources it uses. But I don't see that as an ethical issue. That's more of a logistical issue. If they can make AI that doesn't drink up Lake Michigan and doesn't make the electrical grid scream, then more power to it.

    My biggest concern whether people are for it or against it is that they don't think it's Skynet, or Data from Star Trek. It's just a big dumb machine, a gigantic MENACE matchbox computer.

  • It's unclear from the article what exactly he did wrong. There's nothing wrong with using AI as long as you triple check the info it gives you.

    The main problem we're facing today with this tech is people thinking it's magically perfect and can operate without human supervision. Was that what he was doing?

  • Oh, we know it's fucked up. I still can't spell recieve and receipt and I have to look up pretty much every single new word I learn to find out how it's pronounced.

  • Advanced media literacy

    Jump

  • It’s a straightman-funnyman routine, where the funny man is often portrayed as extraordinarily dumb for comedic effect while the straight man acts as the audience surrogate reacting in the way we would react, also for comedic effect.

  • More Americans now support banning phones all day at school, not just in class

  • When I was a kid in school, you had to go to the office to use the phone.

  • Sure, plot twists can improve the experience a little but a super secret hidden plot twist is kind of gimmicky. A movie like the Sixth Sense is actually harmed by it because the film itself is so good that knowing the secret from the beginning makes the story 100 times more compelling. You're just hiding a big important part of the film. Super secret plot twists are better experienced by the characters than the audience.

    When I hear people worried about spoilers, I always think of The Naked Edge. At the end, a title card comes up saying, "Please for the love of god don't tell anyone the plot twist! This movie so fucking boring that the plot twist is all it has!"

  • Do you think I should get a PC or a PS5 for my birthday?

    Jump

  • Get a PC. You'll realize that using the Internet on your phone is like going swimming in a bathtub. And that's just one of the countless things you can do better on computer. Games are just a fraction of what's possible with a computer.

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • Socializing via text on a screen is quite hard to pull off successfully.

    People for millennia have been socializing via text on paper and found it extremely easy. Text on a screen is hardly that much different. I think the modern problems society has communicating via text has more to do with the wetware than the software. I imagine a moral panic also exploded 5000 years ago when writing letters became a thing.

  • Don't ruin it for others

    Jump

  • If a movie can be spoiled by revealing a plot twist, it's not a good movie. There are a lot of great movies with great plot twist, but even if you know the twist, the movie is not ruined at all and is endlessly rewatchable.

    This is why I hate mysteries. Like Murder on the Orient Express. The most interesting part is the ending and the rest of it is a forgettable man with a moustache talking to other forgettable people for two hours about forgettable stuff. The worst episode of Law and Order is better than any given mystery story.

  • People who still use Reddit, why?

    Jump

  • I've been on Reddit for decades so there are dozens of niche subs I subscribe to. Reddit is so heavily populated that obscure games like openXcom and Guild 2 have a sizeable community. And the Hitman sub has more people than the official, Steam, and fan forums combined. I don't think there's even a Hitman instance on Lemmy.

    I think though that Reddit will screw the pooch before too long and there will be a mass migration. Lemmy has a good chance of being where everyone goes.
