Not a plan I'd be on board with. Disincentivizes increasing efficiency/productivity, hurts competitiveness in a bad way, encourages further regulatory avoidance, and encourages maintaining human performed jobs for their own sake which I think is a detrimental mentality long-term. Tax the profits, plug loopholes, hold corporations to account, like what should be done anyways.

It is all bullshit and a political theater.

We will do the same thing with AI that we have done with every other technology. Absolutely nothing and let the chips fall as they may.

Power will be further consolidated, the upper class will get 10X richer. Politicians will continue to borrow money from the future until we implode or things are reset from WW3.

There is no mystery to what happens here.

They will never be 100% accurate. They are like people. Even the smartest of people doesn't know things, has blind spots, has been trained incorrectly, etc. They are no different. We can trust them the way we can trust people. Perhaps eventually with a very high degree of confidence, but never with 100% blind trust.

Despite arguing yes, AI art is art, it seems like a good idea to restrict its ability to be copyrighted because if it can, what is to stop an individual from renting a ton of GPUs, generating billions of "beautiful painting/character, 8k, etc etc" as a generic prompt, copyrighting them all, then threatening to sue anyone who generates anything that looks similar enough (in the eyes of a judge who doesn't know the technology well enough) to warrant a case?

I feel like there's a fine line. In general, I recognize the creativity that goes not only into crafting the prompt, but also using artistic vision to adapt the prompt based on the outputs and select the best images. Not to mention the editing that can occur in the outputted images.

However, if there are absolutely zero restrictions on copyrighting AI generated art, then someone like Disney could write a program that generates millions of outputs of unique cartoon characters and they would all be copyrighted and then if someone recreated a similar character (by pure chance), that person would be violating Disney's copyright, and that doesn't feel right.

all we have now are a set of very interesting useful new tools. It is connecting way to many dots to say we are doomed. the LLM may be the off ramp that we spend time on for the next 10 years and realize it will not get us to agi. by then we will have plenty of time to think it through and be better prepared. sure maybe not but it is a possibility

Could not agree more. I think there should be a sub rule prohibiting posting random conversations with AI or it is just going to get worse as this stuff becomes more accessible.
