AI is not polluting, the users are… AI does only what is asked.
That true, but I don't think its a helpful way of looking at it.
Actually it is, always avoiding responsibility by putting the blame on tools instead of the users that pollute everyone’s timeline is not helping anything. If no one posts these pictures on Pinterest or any other platform then there wouldn’t be any.
I don't think it is about avoiding responsibility.
Often when people say that some thing is bad, they are talking about the effects of its misuse; and the goal is to reduce / prevent that misuse by persuading other people to change their behaviour. But it is generally easier to persuade someone that their tool is bad rather than they themselves are bad. If they believe the use of the tool is a problem, they may stop using it that way. But they will basically never come to believe that they themselves are the problem.
A big issue with AI is precisely how just a few people can inundate the rest of us with their mass-produced slurry of AI content.
Just like photography did once remove the painter from making a selfie 🤷🏼 The tools are not the problem, it’s the users that think they should put everything online as if it is a big achievement.
What is your genius solution to handle these naughty users, then?
If you fail to respond within 3 business days, we will continue with our plan to nuke OpenAI from orbit.
Yes, I agree. OK, now let's say 99% of users online agree that low quality content shouldn't be posted online. And then imagine there is some kind of technology that allows the 1% of "bad users" (the ones who don't care about low quality) to upload a thousand times more than other users can. It would follow that 90% of content online would be from these users that only represent 1% of the population. Do you see the problem?
Pinterest was already a sinkhole, best to be avoided. My problem is de statement that the OP made. AI isn’t the problem, its the people that think their rubbish is great and push it into our face so to speak. If someone builds a crappy shed, we can blame the hammer but in reality it is the self-appointed carpenter that created the mess.
True but pinterest needs to ban AI
Or the users that post the bs… I think that would clean up much more.
