How much money are you willing to bet that there would be an AI producing working clothing designs from prompts in 1 year? If it's less than your yearly salary, even you don't believe this crap.

The latter is a subset of the former in BLS statistics and I am using the larger category only because BLS apparently only started counting Radiologists as a separate subcategory in 2019.

I am pretty sure no "prophylactic" to stagger the effect was possible at all. Who has ever heard of replacing parts prior to them hitting their "shelf life"?

By that logic, a google image search + sharing results you like is also art. But it really isn't. At best it's curation.

I am not sure it will be possible to get enough training data that way. I don't know enough about diffusion models but if LLMs (of current size) have to use only public domain, they will be undertrained and we will see significant degr

This doesn't contradict anything I have written. The average technical user will be unable to train this exact model (not to mention the supposed future more powerful ones) in their basement in this decade.

My position is perfectly logically consistent. Art is distilled human experience and human emotions emerging in a particular context after a chain of events. None of this is true of AI "art". What is not logically consistent is to

You are getting ridiculous now. Training this on "Taobao product photos" will lead to a useless model that is unable to produce practically all of the "cool" demos posted here in the last week.

Art is for the sake of humans producing said art. I don't give a flying f*ck about "art" (it's not art) generated by a neural net using statistical patterns.

If you forbid it, the investment in developing those models disappears. They will be stuck at ~what we have now at best. You can also require cloud providers to enforce a ban on training (and deploying) such models, it's doable. Good l

Even if that's true (which it isn't), it doesn't matter. It's absolutely logically consistent to allow humans to do it while forbidding AI to do it.

I actually have zero problems with that happening. Also, your opinion of your own ability to use sarcasm successfully is at the very least highly suspect.

This is of course not true (for ports in particular the writing had been on the wall for more than a decade) but even if it were, there eventually were other jobs. There won't be this time around.

Those "generations of laborers" had the option to earn more for less (and less dangerous) work most of the time. It doesn't seem this will be the case now.
