      The pictures aren’t very good I’ll grant you that, but they definitely don’t require even one kWh per image, and besides that basically everything made with a computer costs power. We waste power on nonsense just fine without the help of LLMs or diffusion models.

      I mean, machine learning and AI does have benefits especially in research in the medical field. The consumer AI products are just stupid though.

        It’s help me learn coding, Spanish, and helped me build scripts of which I would never have been able to do by myself or with technical works alone.

        If we’re talking specifically about the value I get out of what Gpt is right now, its priceless to me. Like my second, albeit braindead, systems administrator on my shoulder when I need something I don’t want to type out myself. And what ever mistakes it makes is within my abilities to repair on my own without fighting for it.

          I think the more important part is that your systems administrator is braindead. I know it’s hyperbolic, but you can certainly learn coding (Link 2) and Spanish (Link 2) yourself.

            I know coding now to a degree. But when I mess something up I’m not going to post to a random forum somewhere to see if someone feels like looking at my problem, and then when they view the issue someone feels the need to include their non objective solution or answer. I don’t want conversation or to be told “see you CoULD do this yourself If you did this”

            Like yea that’s cool…but my building just disconnected from the outside world and 1200 people are now expressing their concern, and me being told to just Google it, when my Juniper flipped a bit isnt going to cut it. And Andy in Montana just locked my post because"this question has been answered before" with no elaboration. And spice works has my exact issue but is closed because: problem solved. But they didn’t show their work.

            How about this; when books first became widely adopted people bitched that the youth would get lazy. Then it was radio. Then it was television. Then it was the Internet. Then it was social media. Now it’s AI.

            The race is always going. But you can stop when ever you feel uncomfortable. But the rest of the pack is going to keep moving to the finish line that never shows up. And new comers can join at any time.

            _------------

            For Spanish learning, I can now have full endless conversation with something and it never gets tired. It never stops being objective. Since the task is so simple it never fucks up or hallucinates. It never tells me it has other things to do. It never discourages our demeans when I get something wrong. Infact it even plays along with what ever speed or level of language I need it to, such as kindergarten level or elementary level. And all of this is supplemental to actually learning through other means. Try to get that consistency on reddit. Whether that be speed, integrity or volition.


            Your suggestion works in 2015 when cleverbot was around or when siri was a creature comfort but it’s 10 years later.

            Oh and all of what I mentioned is free - to me.

          AI didn’t do that. It stole all the information for free on the internet from people who tried to help others and make money of it.

            I can very much so assure you that chatGPT did all of those things for me.

            Have you ever used Google translate or apps that identify bugs/plants/songs? AI is used in products you most likely use every week.

            You are also arguing for a closed garden system where companies like reddit and Getty get to dictate who can make models and at what price.

            Individual are never getting a dime out of this. In a perfect world, governments would be fighting for copyleft licenses for anything using big data but every law being proposed is meant to create a soft monopoly owned by Microsoft and Google and kill open-source.
