@rosco @eniko @mynameistillian Ye. Meanwhile I study materials science and we use AI models to make new prototypes of composites. The thing is, they're not quite the same things as the corpos are doing (and while they benefited from the boom they were around since like 2013). We don't ask ChatGPT to give us formulas or anything.
@maxthefox @eniko @mynameistillian I think the issue is not the generative models per se, it's the insatiable greed of corpos that collect data without consent (yet they have no issues crushing anyone who dare infringe on their copyrights), and hype it up to be the solution to every problem because they can afford to pay for huge datacenters (and waste a hell lot of energy in the process). It's an issue that far predates the "AI craze".
