its not even about spotting AI images being passed off as real. it isn't hard to simply seek out AI generated content when i want to look at it and avoid it when i don't. you make it sound like it's impossible to make choices about what content to consume, or that everyone is out there trying to pass off AIgen as real to the point where you can't trust anything any more. we're heading in that direction but we're not there yet.

i truly hope you're right. enforcing copyright offenses for downloaders is an absolute waste of everyone's resources regardless of who pays. piracy is a market force, and the corpos need to just acknowledge that.

and by the same logic, you cant know if i have or have not been duped by an AI image. thanks for asserting expert knowledge of my perceptionsl capabilities, but you'll understand that i am extremely skeptical of that assertion. based on how i consume media, the likelihood that i have been exposed to AI generated images without my knowledge is pretty low. but do continue to tell me what my experience of the world is .. its kinda hilarious

ISPs just don't want to be made to police copyright offenses for free. if the RIAA/MPAA paid them money to aid in enforcement, you can bet they be doing it in a heartbeat.

i suppose i cant disagree with the premise... but to clarify, the AI is equivalent to a paint brush or phototshop... a tool used by the prompter to create (extremely derivative and hacky) artworks. i have seen a lot of very expressive works generated by AI, where a concept thought up by the prompter is expressed to humorous or sometimes grim results. but every AI image i have seen has tells of being AI generated.

i disagree. IP laws have more or less handled humans stealing ideas from humans for commercial gain. not perfectly by any means... but both the scale an impunity and frankly the entitlement exhibited by these GenAI companies is on another level.

no matter how many times people make the argument that AIs are just "doing what humans do", it fails to sway me. an AI copying, ingesting and tokenizing other people's intellectual property is nothing like a human watching a video or hearing a song and creating something based upon or derived from it. a database backed algorithm does nothing even remotely like a human mind. it's using software to process and regurgitate the works of others, and that is pretty plainly IP theft.

I'm starting to think commercial AI should be banned. if the only way to make useful models is by ingesting human culture, then all humans should benefit from it without having to pay to have that culture shat back out in response to a prompt.

fair enough. i can see that disabling safe mode would be a decent security measure. but by the time that kind of exploit is used, you've already got bad actors inside your network and there are much easier methods available to pivot to other devices and accounts.

there's an easy fix. it could be done with a single boot attempt if M$ hadnt made it so needlessly difficult to enter safe mode
