It is hilarious that they just invented advance copyright theft and called it ai. C’mon man tell me another one

Remember kids: AI is just very lossy image compression

Intellectual property shouldn’t exist in the first place, so I don’t really care if it’s “stolen”

If someone invents something that can better people’s lives, everyone should be able to access it

In the ideal world yes. IP is a fuck but under a capitalist system I still think artists should be able to sell their work and not have it used by machine learning programs to undercut them without their consent. For industry stuff? I don’t really care but I think individual independent artists having some IP control under this absurd system is slightly better than just fucking them all over entirely.

Edit: the copyrighting words, concepts, and techniques shit has to stop though

Oh I think I misunderstood the person I was replying to, I thought they were referring to Chinese IP theft in terms of industry stuff. I agree that art is a different story.

Chinese firms aren’t by nature better than US ones. The difference is that China keeps its corpos on a leash and US corpos keep their government on a leash.

This is an uninformed take. Currently, ai is just computers. Computers can only make things on the computer. Ai is not yet robots. Robots is much harder to do than computers, and they are made to do one thing. Stuff like folding clothes is not one thing, but a whole bunch of individual ones.

Why make the distinction between robots and PCs/servers? There doesn’t seem to be any fundamental difference between them that would make implementing ANN impossible.

Having to do things in the physical world is harder than doing it on the computer

Not sure how this makes using ANN in robots impossible. Surely you don’t think that electronics can’t be used in robots, do you?

Hell, it’s been a while since I programmed LEGO robots, but I’m pretty sure you can write an ANN there using official tools. This is all just a matter of having some programmable component in a robot and enough memory.

You’re taking it too literally. It’s metaphorical. No one thinks China has AI robots doing laundry any more than they think AI is physical robots in the US using a paintbrush and physical easel to do art. Well… I’m sure some burgerbrains exist who think that, but you know what I mean. (Edit: turns out I don’t know how to spell easel).
