No?

Anyone can run an AI even on the weakest hardware there are plenty of small open models for this.

Training an AI requires very strong hardware, however this is not an impossible hurdle as the models on hugging face show.

Reading the other comments, it seems there are more than one problem with AI. Probably even some perks as well.

Shucks, another one or these complex issues huh. Weird how everything you learn something about turns out to have these nuances to them.

Either the article editing was horrible, or Eno is wildly uniformed about the world. Creation of AIs is NOT the same as social media. You can't blame a hammer for some evil person using it to hit someone in the head, and there is more to 'hammers' than just assaulting people.

No brian eno, there are many open llm already. The problem is people like you who have accumulated too much and now control all the markets/platforms/medias.

And yet, he released his latest album exclusively on Apple Music.

That's... just not true? Current frontier AI models are actually surprisingly diverse, there are a dozen companies from America, Europe, and China releasing competitive models. Let alone the countless finetunes created by the community. And many of them you can run entirely on your own hardware so no one really has control over how they are used. (Not saying that that's a good thing necessarily, just to point out Eno is wrong)

AI will become one of the most important discoveries humankind has ever invented. Apply it to healthcare, science, finances, and the world will become a better place, especially in healthcare. Hey artist, writers, you cannot stop intellectual evolution. AI is here to stay. All we need is a proven way to differentiate the real art from AI art. An invisible watermark that can be scanned to see its true "raison d'etre". Sorry for going off topic but I agree that AI should be more open to verification for using copyrighted material. Don't expect compensation though.

Truer words have never been said.
