AI is not a tool, it is an oracle. Furthermore, it is an oracle built on copyright infringement. Do you understand the difference between "tool" and "oracle"?

Do you understand the difference between "tool" and "oracle"?
- giglamesh 3mo agoTool was a kind of metal/funk band (or something like that) and Oracle is a database (management system) that somehow made a lot of money for a lot of consultants (and the oligarch owners) even though open source alternatives were far superior.
- ozzmotik 3mo agoI know this is perhaps a bit tongue-in-cheek but it's still astounding just how suspiciously accurate the implied parallel here is... lol
- mapontosevenths 3mo agoNo. Explain.
- otabdeveloper4 3mo agoTools are things that you 100 percent control based on nothing but your own skill. Oracles are things that give you free stuff if you've been a good boy and respected the oracle's rituals.
- gonzalohm 3mo agoSo if I sample a guitar because I don't know how to play the guitar, is the tool I used to sample it "an oracle"?
- Austizzle 3mo agoI think samplers are still clearly tools. You are still as a human performing with the sampler or at the very least manually arranging with it. If you gave somebody else the same sample, they would produce a different result. Whereas AI (if we ignore RNG for a moment) will produce the same output from the same prompt. It's not a tool, it's a magic box that spits out a finished product with no human effort outside of the prompt.
- otabdeveloper4 3mo agoNo, you're using the sampler as a tool.
- my002 3mo agoAI is not an "oracle" no matter how much Altman and Amodei claim it is.
