Lots of people on Lemmy really dislike AI’s current implementations and use cases.

I’m trying to understand what people would want to be happening right now.

Destroy gen AI? Implement laws? Hoping all companies use it for altruistic purposes to help all of mankind?

Thanks for the discourse. Please keep it civil, but happy to be your punching bag.

License it's usage

I'd like to see it used for medicine.

Most importantly, I wish countries would start giving a damn about the extreme power consumption caused by AI and regulate the hell out of it. Why do we need to lower our monitors refresh rate while there is a ton of energy used by useless AI agents instead that we should get rid of?

i would use it to take a shit if they let me

If we're talking realm of pure fantasy: destroy it.

I want you to understand this is not AI sentiment as a whole, I understand why the idea is appealing, how it could be useful, and in some ways may seem inevitable.

But a lot of sci-fi doesn't really address the run up to AI, in fact a lot of it just kind of assumes there'll be an awakening one day. What we have right now is an unholy, squawking abomination that has been marketed to nefarious ends and never should have been trusted as far as it has. Think real hard about how corporations are pushing the development and not academia.

Put it out of its misery.

I would love to see regulation, that any contet created by AI cannot be used commercially.

I love e.g. that parents can make their own children books, but nobody should profit from all the stolen work of artists.

[-] StarMerchant938@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Even that constitutes theft on some level. It devalues children's books and the talents required to create them. It disincentivizes parents to go support actual authors and illustrators, and anything they make with AI is based on stolen intellectual property.

I'm not against AI itself—it's the hype and misinformation that frustrate me. LLMs aren't true AI - or not AGI as the meaning of AI has drifted - but they've been branded that way to fuel tech and stock market bubbles. While LLMs can be useful, they're still early-stage software, causing harm through misinformation and widespread copyright issues. They're being misapplied to tasks like search, leading to poor results and damaging the reputation of AI.

Real AI lies in advanced neural networks, which are still a long way off. I wish tech companies would stop misleading the public, but the bubble will burst eventually—though not before doing considerable harm.

Not much, just don't build it over theft.

[-] DonPiano@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Firings and jail time.

In lieu of that, high fines and firings.

[-] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago

I'm beyond the idea that there could or would be any worldwide movement against Ai, or much of anything if we're comparing healthcare, welfare and education reform. People are tuned out and numb.

[-] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

Ban it until the hard problem of consciousness is solved.

[-] Justdaveisfine@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

I would likely have different thoughts on it if I (and others) was able to consent my data into training it, or consent to even have it rather than it just showing up in an unwanted update.

A breakthrough in AI Alignment reaserch.
