We'll get to the AI part in a second.
I know I've told the story about my opinion on Forest Gump before, but much like my Opinion on AI it bears repeating.
Especially now.
When I saw Forest Gump I thought
"Oh shit, this kid's rich."
He lived in the big house, they were fixing his legs, and bus drove all the way out to where he lived.
Then he got drafted and I was like.
"Oh shit, someone had 'that talk' with his Mom."
You know the talk.
The one about "Just let him go, it'll be easier this way."
'cause ya know, People had that talk about me when they thought I didn't understand.
Anyways...
AI.
I made a comment today about Art v.s. Content.
First of all, we have recognize that AI isn't I.
Intelligent.
Yet.
Hopefully.
D=
But...
It's like a sausage maker.
You put ideas, data, concepts, into it.
It takes them, blends them up, and spits something out on the other side.
Or a Lathe.
Or a Sausage making Lathe.
Point is.
The Lathe.
An idea, a concept, a series of ideas.
Like a block of wood made from a bunch of pieces of scrap wood glued together.
Are put into this machine and the machine has guides for the hand, tools to shave away excess material, and tools for refining features.
But it is still a human hand that has to put the block together.
Select the pieces of wood, the glue, the tools, the shapes.
Then, what comes out on the other side is Art.
But, like the Sausage maker.
You get out, what you put in.
Personally.
I think AI's should be trained on single people or groups of professionals on a topic.
Like a student or a child.
'Cause let's play pretend for a second.
That AI is truly Intelligent.
That Grok, and Gemeni, and Chat GPT, and all the other ones are children with no experience in the world being dumped into X. Yeah, I'll call it that in it's current state, sure. Because any soul of integrity that twitter had is D.O.A. on that platform.
And we've seen in real time, at a global scale, the TTD when unethical individuals get a hold of those tools.
TTD for those that don't know, is a programmers term for "Time to Dick"
How long does it take for someone to use a game or program function to draw a penis.
I'd argue that AI generated content needs as strict of regulation as Nuclear Regulations.
If not more stringent.
Cat's out of the Bag.
But at least we can try to keep it from eating us.
So.
What would I do with AI?
What does ethical use of AI look like to Me?
To Jack?
To Mem?
Weather Modeling to help forecast major events and more effectively co-ordinate emergency responses.
Traffic modeling for city planning to make sure urban food deserts are a thing of the past.
Fancy collage boards for designers and seeking inspiration.
With any images, audio, or animations produced by AI modeling water marked so heavily and obviously it can not be easily missed or mistaken in the final product.
On the flip side of that.
Ethical use of AI on a piece of art would be
Firstly to scan for AI generated content for removal.
Flagging for human review.
IE:
the animations are ran through a "Flag Bot" and it flags a leg clipping through a piece of terrain. Animator looks at it and then works with the artists to fix the animation.
Captioning.
But reviewed by an editor and writer before rendered or encoded to verify it's accuracy.
Recommendations from within closed databases.
I.E.
Archival searches.
Back Catalogues
Data Sets.
Not, using data scraped from PUBLISHED and protected works and websites.
Pardon the coming language, but I feel it's warranted.
You Fuck Wits are trying to use the same laws that protect you from litigation as a loop hole for stealing from people.
You assume ownership of peoples of content when you take zero responsibility for the production of it, and take benefit of it's distribution.
When in reality.
You shit stains offered communication and privacy in one hand, while peeking under peoples skirts with a mirror in the other and selling those pictures to your friends.
So.
Tell Me.
Company's are People right?
Then
If that's the case then I'm here to take confession and perform last rights for the condemned.
