When I hear “ML-based generative tools pushing people out of their jobs is just a political problem”, that I hear is “ClosedAI and Microsoft definitely had nothing to do with choosing to not license and compensate original creators whose works they have acquired in order to build their commercial products, it’s all the government’s fault”.
Often the same people will cry over-regulation about ML tech rollout potentially being suppressed and controlled via policy, even though that is literally the implication of their position.
Agreed. I'm still waiting for the part of AI where it's supposed to benefit mankind.
So far, it's 10% entrainment, 20% employment elimination, and 70% crypto-grade hype.
The next AI winter can't come soon enough so the tech industry can get back to doing useful things.
