5 days agoHere’s the thing, AI isn’t going away. Even when the bubble bursts, which it will, it’s a useful tool that can do useful things. I also don’t think in its current form it’s as useful or “necessary“ as the major tech bros want us to believe. I’d much prefer smaller models running on my hardware than just being controlled by a handful of those tech bros. But NVidia buying one of the major players in the local AI scene worries the shit out of me.
But AI is just a tool. It’s not good or evil. I can use a hammer to build a house or bash someone’s skull in. It’s not the tools fault either way.
So here’s going to be an unpopular opinion. First let me preface this with I think hurting children is one of the worst things you can do. But is drawing a naked child illegal? Is a video game with a naked child 3d model illegal? Where is the line? Is it weird? Hell fucking yes. Is it wrong? I also believe yes. But it’s not an actual child. The real question should be, how did the AI know how to create those images? Because it was trained on actual child porn. And how this AI was trained should really be the crime. Because it ingested shit-tons of actual CSAM.
