I approach AI with caution.

I do not like the training method that has been employed. It's practically all stolen data. They took peoples art, talent, ideas, etc...without permission or compensation. The resulting product isn't artificial, it's an amalgamation.

Another issue is the feedback loop. AI is already starting to be fed AI. This feedback loop will result in homogenized, repetitive and just plain shittier results. Why create new human art if AI can do it? But if no new human art, AI art never changes.

Biases. Humans are bad enough. But programmed, even unintentional, biases are worse because they be ubiquitous. Garbage in, garbage out (GIGO). That a maxim software developers live by. This is related to the above issue too.

Privacy, security, ethics, transparency, legal. The issues are numerous and largely ignored for the sake of being first or most marketable. Greed and power with AI tools. Fantastic.

I agree with everything you said. But progress man, it's all in the name of progress, we'll solve actual serious problems with this. I could be arsed if some artists get screwed (yes, it's fucked up) along the way. This could lead to true solutions to the world's problems, even true answers to the existential questions we've asked for millenia. It sucks the creatives are getting the shaft first but it had to be someone, I bet you wouldn't be as concerned if it was the garbage man, or the post man put out by robotics, you'd pass on it and say the same as me now, ah, it's progress. That's what people have done for hundreds of years and it got us to this point. I say all for it, it's starting with the creative cause that's where it excels well let it be so, let it pilfer what it needs cause we're running at a cliff anyway. Let's design a parachute before we hit the cliffs edge and AI will do that no doubt.
