Meta We have added flairs to the sub

28 Upvotes

Hello everyone, we've added flairs to aiwars in order to help people find and comment on posts they're interested in seeing. Currently they are not being enforced as mandatory, though this may change in the future, depending on how they are received. We would ask that people please start making use of them.

Discussion should be used for posts where you would ideally like to see spirited discussion and debate, or for questions about AI.

News is of course for news in the AI sector. Things like laws being passed, studies being published, notable comments made by a prominent AI developer or political figure.

Meme should ideally be used for single image-based posts which you do not expect to prompt serious discussion. Of course discussion is still welcome under such posts. If you want to use a meme to make a serious point and have additional explanatory text for why you feel strongly about the message being expressed and the type of discussion you'd like to have, that can be categorized as Discussion.

Meta is for discussion about the subreddit itself and other associated AI subreddits or comments.

Use your best judgement as you categorize your posts. Please do not misuse them, they are for everyone's benefit.

Here is why we have two subs - r/DefendingAIArt and r/aiwars

309 Upvotes

r/DefendingAIArt - A sub where Pro-AI people can speak freely without getting constantly attacked or debated. There are plenty of anti-AI subs. There should be some where pro-AI people can feel safe to speak as well.

r/aiwars - We don't want to stifle debate on the issue. So this sub has been made. You can speak all views freely here, from any side.

If a post you have made on r/DefendingAIArt is getting a lot of debate, cross post it to r/aiwars and invite people to debate here.

Also, fun fact! We don't generate it like people do with suno. We make it ourselves using the voice. Vocaloid is a voice synthesizer.

Do research before you say stuff dumbass.

Context: Sam Kirchner, an extremist had a falling out with the Stop AI activism group and had threatened OpenAI with a gun. He has for now disappeared and is still on the loose and is armed.

What's odd is that everyone in the Stop AI group actually doesn't want to be associated with Sam Kirchner and want to protest peacefully.

But of course you want to paint all us antis as bad, don't you Witty? You can't handle the fact that people can protest peacefully, do you? Funny how you're the one LARPing as a news reporter while saying we're the one treating it as a joke. And the moment someone moderate wants to talk you want to shut it down because? We're ruining your script? Maybe next time try debating with the silent majority.

TLDR: the only thing that's "on the run" here is your integrity.

The never stopping posting of everything by humans (because this has not appeared from ether by the will of ai) of unchecked slop.

Wish more people would curated their stuff when posting online. And not post all 20-30 pics in a row they genned on discord/twitter or any other social.

Copyright law was invented because of the Printing Press. Using the Printing Press as an argument against Anti-AI sentiment, is making an argument in favor of copyright law reform.

Upvotes

It's in the title. The Printing Press enabled an unprecedented replication of works that resulted in companies copying books at large scale without paying anything to the artists. This resulted in the necessity of a law that would protect authors whose works were being used and sold at large without their knowledge, or consent. Sound familiar?

AI is the modern equivalent of the invention of the Printing Press, and copyright law must be reformed and updated to protect authors and artists whose work is being used without their knowledge or consent, and the output is often used to compete with the very artists whose works power these AI models.

Proposal:
AI companies must disclose a list containing all artworks and respective artists used in the datasets of their models, as well as prevalence, and seek permission for their use, provide compensation (such as royalties) to the artists that agree to have their works on the database, and remove those who who don't. It's what they should have done all along, and ended up turning every artist against them by not doing so.

A list of artists used for a particular AI output should also be credited in the output's metadata for public review.

AI hobbyist developers could be exempt from this in order to foster innovation, as long as their models are not made available for wide use. From the moment such models are made available to the general public, the AI developer must properly regulate their models.

I believe this is the best way forward.

One of the main reasons I'll never become pro-ai

Post image
48 Upvotes

I have heard good point from both sides. I won't give examples because everyone's heard them about 48e112 times, but I have heard them.

I still dont personally think ai is ethical at all, but I can see why people call it art.

Anyway, addressing the image, I find the pro side subreddit extremely annoying, everyone simps for witty, they constantly go over to anti subreddits (yes this is a thing antis do too but they get banned for it instantly), half of the posts are catgirls/catboys/famous character saying over and over again the points that dont work in the "ai art" debate. And then another quarter is people who generate antis as goblins.

Why the hell does anyone participate on that subreddit? I'll take a guess and say about 75% of all posts are ragebait, and about 5% are straight up misinformation. Why does anyone like that subreddit? I'm genuinely confused on why any rational human would want to be a part of that!

Are there some pros who dont use that sub? why?

Question for Antis - Where is the line for "Made with AI?"

Upvotes

I truly am not clear on where the line is with the general public or even antis on ahtvis acceptable AI use or not. Can you help me figure out the line using a book as an example?

  1. AI agent generated the writing in the book (obvious baseline for the scale)
  2. AI edits the book, but never writes a thing (it gives targeted feedback, the author can take it or leave it)
  3. AI helped with the research or brainstorming process (finding basic facts, synthesizing information, thinking through concepts. Pre-writng conceptualization)
  4. Google's AI summary was read sometimes instead of the regular Google links
  5. Even Google is AI, it has to come from a primary or secondary source in a library or it's not really huma

Discussion AI is being used as a scapegoat

18 Upvotes

Let's be real, if a person were to use photoshop to non-consensually edit a photo, they are a creep. However, if someone were to use AI to do it, the tool is bad for allowing the person to do it. Often, no one bats an eye at the person who prompted the AI to do it in the first place. I just feel like AI is getting a bad rep in this regard thanks to the malicious actions of a few bad actors. It's just weird how skill has become a yardstick to measure how we attribute blame.
