We can’t prevent the technology from being invented, it was always going to happen (video games and VR was practically going to have this AI generated worlds).
It is just a matter of doing it right the first time such as having license/agreements or company building it based on their own images.
- taminka 2y agojust because we can't prevent something from being invented, doesn't mean we can't prevent its spread: we limit technology all the time like chemical weapons were invented, bioweapons were invented, meth manufacturing was invented, but we prohibit people from manufacturing them because they're harmful same logic could apply to generative machine learning (obv not as harmful as above examples, but same idea)
- spunker540 2y agoIt seems pretty surprising to me that you can already tell where generative models are going, and that they should be stopped in their tracks immediately. Is there any documented harm yet?
- taminka 2y agoblackmail, deepfakes, misinformation, impersonation? literally any website containing images is in most cases overwhelmed with an unlimited supply of ai generated garbage ai image generators are barely two years old, and have already caused a lot of damage in basically every sphere they interact with, i'd say you don't need a lot of foresight to be able to make a judgement here
- mikhailt 2y agoThat’s not what the OP said though, what you’re describing is basically regulations. All we can do is regulate to outlaw and punish those who don’t comply with it but that’s still not possible to limit. Chemical weapons are still being developed (Russia used it in their war against Ukraine), bioweapons are still being developed, meth are still being manufactured all over in US if not smuggled in.
