Sarah Silverman leads class-action lawsuit against ChatGPT creator

All successful new technology is disruptive. We can both have compassion for those disrupted by it -- especially those later in their careers who will find it more difficult to adapt -- and simultaneously celebrate the advancements and benefits of that technology.

As an amateur artist I sympathize with those who have spent many years mastering their skills and now compete against software that in a few seconds generate art that would take weeks for human to do. I suspect a lawsuit like this will at most delay the inevitable and wonder what's next

some "disruptive technology" is just a reskinning of an existing of an existing industry in a way that increases profits of the company while simultaneously reducing financial risk, and also potentially reducing income of the worker. "Ride Sharing" comes immediately to mind.

The art is not there, its pure garbage, and would even be up for discussion if the tech companies didn't have the money to push their agenda. This whole thing is the same as nft's, people will get hyped about it and then it will crash.

Seems like every week I see another story about people who lost their jobs to AI. So for anyone saying it's just a fad, or won't replace people because it's not good enough, etc., it is already having an effect. And will only get worse as the AI gets better.

In more positive news, using ChatGPT to generate random encounter tables works a treat.

I posted about using chatgpt with my Crystalshore setting in the general tabletop area, it even pointed out that I contradicted myself lol.

The art aspect of it I agree with, but I think that things like ChatGPT won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

full disclosure, I've been using chatgpt to find errors and do some rewriting in my own book that as soon as it's finished I plan to publish.

If it’s possible to replace a human worker with automation, they will be. And automation is getting better by the day. It’s weird that everyone knows this will lead to jobless and homeless people but don’t seem to care. That it might affect you later than others doesn’t mean you’re going to be unaffected. So who’s going to buy all the stuff once everyone’s out of work?

Stories are meaningless. That is sort of the problem is that people are ignorant of how science works anymore. The "AI" which is not really AI, isn't producing dependable results, which makes it useless. As far as art goes, or writing, it is banned on dtrpg, so don't use it. I wasn't buying any of it anyways.

Apropos of nothing, this showed up on my FB feed just now:

Only if it is cheaper. I have seen factories still using injection molds from the 1940's; a lot of automation coming online now is from the 1960's-70's.
