Mate, you're impressively quick with flinging petty insults for someone who just mistook regular algorithms for actual AI systems, and also apparently claims not to know how LLMs & Co work in the first place.

...is criticised for, among other things, being trained with mostly stolen content, for regurgitating this material with an astonishingly high error rate and for being used for scams, disinfo, etc. without any quality control by it's creators.

There are a LOT of studies on all this by now.

Oh sweet Jesus, I think we've been talking about entirely different things then. Algorithms and AI are two VERY different things, but I can definitely understand the mix-up. To be clear, nobody is arguing against algorithms. AI (i.e. LLMs) on the other hand...

You know, I was really approaching this discussion in good faith initially. And looking at your profile, I genuinely thought you are a decent and reflective person. So why are you so weirdly offended by critique that is literally public knowledge at this point?

Dang, either I have mistaken this place for a public site specifically created for exchanging opinions, or you have mistaken it for a private DM convo. Hard to tell. Let me know once you find out, I'll do the same, deal?

But you know, let's accept your premise. Even if let's say your phone has AI features, and even if you actually used them. You can even really like AI personally.

Even then(!), you can still acknowledge the mounting evidence that AI can be really, really bad.

Are you really denying this?

Literally none of my gadgets use AI? Where do you even get the idea from? It takes very little effort to either disable this stuff or to switch to products without it.

Man I really don't want to be rude, but if you insist on putting up a strawman, at least make sure you have some straw at hand.

Are you also telling OP to move to another country just because they don't like the current government?

I'd guess you don't, because you know not to blindly accept fate, but to fight for better alternatives.

Why then are you ridiculing people who simply ask for the same critical thinking on AI?

Also, I feel like "I wasn't going to pay for it anyway" isn't going to fly once you're talking about stealing an apple from a stall instead of stealing the rehashed work of artists via a sophisticated copyright infringement slot machine (which even Open AI & Co admit their work comes down to)

It's equally okay to point out that every single AI image posted with the best of intentions still legitimises and normalises both veritable AI slop AND similar posts from accounts that would very much be able to pay proper artists.

Considering the amount of electricity and water it took to make this political point in this particular way, it feels legitimate to ask: Was it really worth it?

If your answer is yes, that's entirely fair.

But...

If anything, I'd like to think that the EU taking a hardliner stance at least enables Ukraine to push for more favourable terms while still maintaining the image of being willing to compromise and cooperate

I think that would be true if the US was negotiating in good faith. But they aren't, and every instance of trying to compromise with them only resulted in them moving the goal post.

On the other hand, Trump has a well-established track record of caving whenever he meets well-coordinated resistance.
