Regardless of one's feelings on the matter, we can clearly say that AI has been transformative because it never fails to provoke heated arguments. And not only that, but the arrival of commercial models, that is, models that can be run either in your browser (on a cloud service) or on your own machine (local) seems to have shifted perspectives entirely. What becomes bothersome is that self-proclaimed communists seem to have done a complete 180 on intellectual property, and this is what we want to focus on.
Even if I might seem super pro-AI sometimes I really want there to be good arguments against it and especially of course how it’s being handled in capitalism, because this is how we solve contradictions and uncover dialectics at work.
I just feel that a lot of it has been settled, even as far back as artisanal intelligence which came out only 4 months after chatGPT and yet is still completely, totally relevant - a huge blemish imo, it should be outdated in some areas already, but the arguments against AI are still the same almost 3 years later.
I don’t even think everybody should necessarily learn AI in depth, it’s fine to be uninterested in it, but a lot of people seem to make it their life mission to tell the world that they should feel bad for using it when they could just not say anything, or at least like you said be a little bit curious about it. I’m all for explaining my methods with AI and sharing best practices because I think it’s important. Not speaking about people here specifically, I see a lot of these takes on Twitter usually. Actually I’ve just blocked the words AI now on that platform, I’m tired of seeing all the “discourse” lol. The twitter format of having only 280 characters when we are some of the biggest yappers is not conducive to expanding on ideas and promotes making gotchas and easy wins instead. Lol my essay is super long but it’s ultimately all of my points about AI condensed into one volume.
