>>48569007The thing is it's already too late, so now the boulder's rolling down the other side of the hill.There are already Chinese gacha companies RIGHT NOW firing most of their artists and keep the rest to tweak all the images, fixing the hands, facial features, slightly out-of-place bricks... Now all the useful idiots screeching against AI are already playing the other side's game without knowing it, helping to stunt public free usage and development of AI while the corpos quietly carry on using and developing it behind the scenes independently. It's not like they're going to advertise that it's allowing them to make stuff so much more cheaply and still charge out the nose - all they have to do is not tell anyone. Who benefits from shutting down acceptance of AI public usage? Now that it's good enough, well, everyone looking to exploit it. Make a method of production taboo but continue using it yourself, then outcompete everyone.
>When asked why OpenAI changed its approach to sharing its research, Sutskever replied simply, “We were wrong. Flat out, we were wrong. If you believe, as we do, that at some point, AI — AGI — is going to be extremely, unbelievably potent, then it just does not make sense to open-source."Yeah. That's why it's best the masses all help to shut down all open source efforts for you so only you possess and control it.
Enjoy being an artist in a world where all public AI tools have dead-ended, but you STILL don't have a job worth shit unless you're part of a company with a fine-tuned AI monster art algo more closely guarded than Coke's secret recipe. You get the slightly weird-looking art from your boss done by 'outsourced artists', you make the alterations, no questions asked. Huh? AI? What AI? You crazy? You don't like it? Find another job.
