I understand the positive implications of medical advances and the ability to compute at an alarming rate but why do we have little chatbots or apps that make pictures? It seems to me that LLMs or image / video creation is just trying to steal work from actual artists but I believe that there is another reason that these were released. What would these AIs need to be trained on from our input in to these apps? I try to look at new technologies as “what problem is this trying to solve?” And frankly, I don’t see what it’s solving. Edit : came across this which is a solid read for anyone interested https://open.substack.com/pub/beneaththepavement/p/ai-capitalism-and-the-collapse-of-society?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
