The vast majority hate ai.

And with the constant improvements, this number is only set to grow.

It isn't going to constantly improve, though. We're facing model collapse, and nobody has a solution for this problem.

As more and more AI-generated content floods the public internet, more and more of that content will end up as training data for AI. Exacerbating this, quality publications are largely blocking AI bots, for entirely understandable reasons, which means less, and less higher-quality content is being used to train the next generation of models.

For example, researchers have noted that the LAION-5B dataset, used to train Stable Diffusion and many other models, already contains synthetic images created by earlier AI models. This is the equivalent of a child learning to draw solely by copying the images made by younger children – not a scenario which is likely to improve quality.

In fact, researchers already have a name for the inevitable bad outcome: “model collapse”. In this case, the content generated by AI’s stops improving, and starts to get worse.

Imagine you’re a 6-year old right now. Someone tells you, yeah, you could spend the next bullshit quantity of years learning to do basic math until you bitch about not knowing how to do taxes later in life. Or you could just use a fucking calculator that hands you the answers.

Same thing with pen -> calculator-> computer -> phone

Your argument is a shit one.

AI isn’t progress.

AI robs people of their ability to think critically and creatively.

If it was just you dumbing yourself down I wouldn’t care, but it’s not. It’s a machine that steals others hard work and mashes it all together while it demands land and precious resources to feed it all so you can feel better about your lack of ability. It’s a masturbation machine for the unmotivated.

Sure, what's next? "Hey, also, we made this AI robot that can assemble all of your Legos for you, so you don't have to do that, either! Think of all the time you'll save!"

Drawing isn't some obstacle to making a picture. It's the point. People enjoy drawing.
