Discussion AI exclusive subreddits or Subreddits that allow AI should be left alone and respected

Post image

Same for only traditional or digital art subreddits, if they don't want AI art there then there's a small room for complaining. If a community wants to only engage with AI art then they should be allowed to do that

Here's an example:

So i saw this post, there's this user who is complaining about another user being banned. But said user who was banned was removed because they suggested to ban AI art in a community that allows AI art. The mods have already made it clear in that subreddit that AI is allowed and no fights about AI is allowed there

So this user is now complaining about someone being banned when the rules were already established. If they have any issue then they should've just found a place where no AI is allowed. Other communities should not change themselves for some people, it should be for all

I'll never understand the folks that deliberately insert themselves into spaces dedicated to something they don't like just so they can behave like belligerent children. 

Like, you don't have to like AI, but there's got to be something psychologically wrong with the people that seek out AI friendly spaces so they can bitch and moan about people using AI...

u/Zeekfox 10h ago

That has nothing to do with AI. Go to any place on the internet and there are low effort posts of someone trying to share an experience or idea that nobody else really cares about. I'd say 99% of what is uploaded to the internet is something that won't get a single like or more than ten views.

u/Chaghatai 5h ago

If there's no explicit rule against AI, there's nothing wrong with sharing AI art

Your statement presupposes that AI art is automatically a bad thing and should only be in a cordoned off space and not part of the general art community which is nonsense

Places that are explicitly anti-ai---and many formerly neutral spaces are in fact deciding to adopt such rules---should have their rules respected

It goes both ways

But a neutral space is neutral

u/Few_Employment_5432 4h ago

Besides the AI being trained on stolen labor and the ai-bros reputation of harassment.

Letting ai slop in a community usually ends up with actual artists getting drowned by the amount of AI generated garbage.

There can be a place for it but for most communities it's harmful.

u/Chaghatai 1h ago

Nothing is stolen with AI is trained. This comment is common to people who do not understand AI training.

1

u/Few_Employment_5432 1h ago

Okay try to keep up.

The claim doesn't depend on misunderstanding the tech, it depends on understanding what a model is worth.

A model is measurably better with let's say artists' work, worse without. That improvement is value extracted from their labor, unpaid. That's why they scraped it instead of skipping it.

'But they still have the original'? So does the guy whose car got borrowed for a taxi servicenothing missing, but the use was taken. Permission to use work has a name and a price, a license. Taking it without paying is theft minus the broken window.

'Stolen labor' isn't ignorance of the training process. It's a precise description: value made by someone's labor, taken without consent, sold for profit.

The people who don't understand AI training are the ones who think value disappears when you compress it into weights.

1

u/Chaghatai 13m ago edited 9m ago

That's not how it works at all. Just because something makes something else better doesn't mean that it gets some of the value. There's no principle that says that at all.

My argument has nothing to do with the fact that the model does not retain a copy of the training material. My argument has nothing to do with the fact that training on the material merely updates, a series of weighted vectors by my new amounts, whose values are then subsequently updated by other things that it's trained on and so on and so forth

The fact that the material is not meaningfully part of the model but rather taught the model isn't the only or even the main reason why it's not stealing.

Value added by somebody else's labor based on knowledge ledge gained through fair use doesn't constitute stealing of any kind because stealing has a particular meaning and it has nothing to do with whether or not you gain value without permission or paying something.

If a neighbor cuts down a bunch of trees and the resulting lack of shade makes your property more valuable for growing crops, you don't owe them a thing that's just a side effect.

Similarly, if a model is able to learn from something and becomes better at it, that learning is just a side effect of the existence of that thing and the right to observe it.

It's like if a fighter watches tape of a bunch of fights and gets better at fighting, they don't oh the owner of those tapes for any of the value that that fighter requires

If they acquire the tapes illegally without paying for it they can still watch it and anything they learn by watching it that value add to the fighter doesn't create an additional debt. They are only on the hook for the normal penalties for pirating video or whatever.

For example, you can have a recipe book. And you can include somebody else's recipe in a recipe book that they published just last year with a recipe that is never been published before then.

You may be just made to find out that similarly, things like art styles cannot be protected either.

Recipes aren't protected though because of the idea expression dichotomy. You can't protect facts.

And that's the bottom line for the training. The training is fair use. You don't have to pay anybody for fair use.

If I practice drawing from all these different drawings on the web that I see and as an artist I'm able to get better and my drawings are worth more. I don't create a debt to any of those people whose material I practiced on.

So your argument doesn't make any sense at all. There's all sorts of ways to add value to something without incurring a debt. And it doesn't require permission either legally or ethically.

Anything you can do with knowledge gained by analyzing something is fair except for a few very limited carve outs relating to patent laws and musical expression for the most part.

You use condescending language like "try to keep up" while yourself being confidently incorrect and demonstrating some very basic misunderstandings.

Yes, art spaces are by definition neutral. I’m an anti for context, and even if I don’t think what ai is making is “art”, they’re still technically neutral spaces that are not expressly anti or pro

Weird stance but okay. I don't believe flooding a community with slop or letting them lie about what they post is okay. An art space should be for the art community and anyone interested not promoters.

You're assuming it is deliberate when the reality is the algorithm likes to stir up drama.

The algorithm only presents it. The choice to click on a post and interact with it(which just tells the algorithm to show you more, btw), is entirely on the user.

u/Royal_Owl2177 1h ago edited 1h ago

You're assuming random users are even checking the subreddit being marketed to them. Do you think they're reading the subreddit name, FAQ, rules, etc before posting in it? No, they open the post and interact from there. Maybe they see the title of the subreddit in small text at the top of the post. Or maybe they just read the post and start interacting.

Reddit knows how their users behave and I'd wager it's all an engagement scheme. There is nothing wrong with seeing a post you dislike and disagreeing in the comments. Inevitably some of them are belligerent children, but the net catches a lot of people who just got swept up by Reddit’s engagement design.

Ok? An echo chamber is still an echo chamber. The fact they let opposing opinions comment so they can insult the person doesn't make them "better".

Yea. Ai subreddits same as anti ai subs should be left alone by the other side. Brigadding and basically bullying should be looked down upon withing these places though by both sides.

u/Onakander 11h ago

Yeah, the pro-AI side just wants to build loud, disruptive, expensive, RAM/compute/storage monopolizing, electricity-price-increasing, datacenters everywhere there's space in order to... Make number go up a little faster, at best? At worst it's about enabling mass surveillance, mass propaganda, erosion of trust in everything and everyone.

Whereas the anti-AI side just wants to be left alone to exist without these region-ruining abominations going up in their countries/neighborhoods.

Like, this is very much not a "Both sides are wrong to be enraged and mock the other side." -issue. The pro-AI side has actual tangible harms associated with it.

What is the ABSOLUTE WORST CASE scenario, if AI is actually left to cook until it's actually undeniably useful enough to warrant the expenditure BEFORE being deployed en-masse? Some game decomps are delayed? We don't get a buggy version of photoshop that AI reimplemented?
(both good things, to be clear, as in, if you aren't selling it, you don't get to stop people from enjoying it in the case of the abandonware/older games. Piracy is the single solitary reason a LOT of games are still able to be enjoyed today. And just because you've made software, doesn't mean you get to charge exorbitant amounts for it every month until the heat death and then charge more when your victim tries to cancel it, in the case of the adobe suite.)

The absolute worst case scenario for actually developing AI until it's actually DONE is that GooZonBook bleed a little of their absolutely obscene wealth for a while. Something the world wouldn't even notice. That's about it. This current generation of genAI is NOT going to make any significant breakthroughs in anything. The fact that nobody can trust anything online and the aforementioned economic impacts, the harm to the users of the genAI systems, they are NOT commensurate with the meagre benefits genAI brings us today.

That's what radicalizes me against genAI. The imbalance in utility and societal cost. The harm it does to its users. In short it's a personification of pathological greed.

Data centres are big problem for sure. You could use local models but most don't. Last time it came up i heard 8% do or something.

The problem with local models IS data centers. How exactly is a regular mortal supposed to afford to put several THOUSAND dollars towards a GPU that can maybe run a piddly model that can in no sense of the words hold a candle to the state of the art models?

1

u/DenserPotato 10h ago

not everybody needs the best models? same as how not everybody needs the same level of education, because not everybody wants to do the same things?

if you're a regular office worker, and want to use ai for simple tasks (ie. not frontier math & physics) you can definitely get by with local models.

Let’s see what you think of it when AI cures cancer and aging.

The world is cooked without AI as it is. Global warming, alarmingly declining birth rates in the western world, an economic model that is unsustainable, the rise of populism/fascism, enormous wealth disparity and increasing social unrest.

The only real solution for all of these issues is to leave the stewardship of the human race to entities far more capable than ourselves.

That’s just my take anyway, I appreciate where you’re coming from.

0

u/Onakander 11h ago

When AI cures cancer and aging, it will have advanced FAR beyond where it stands now and I will hail it as a grand accomplishment.

However, it will almost certainly have NOTHING in common with our current genAI systems. At which point, yes please, but right now the technology just doesn't offer out anywhere close to how much it takes in.

4

u/EdBTrim 11h ago

But how do you get to that point without iterating from where we were a few years ago to where we are now and beyond?

0

u/Onakander 10h ago

I mean, we will need an entirely different paradigm than the current genAI systems can offer, and that while both current genAI systems and the hypothetical AGI can be placed under the same broad umbrella of "machine learning", it will not be an iterated solution off of LLMs.

Kind of like how no matter how much you iterate on mechanical calculators, those will never lead to someone playing Crysis on their home computer, that always required advances in entirely different branches of technology.

Some of the things learned while iterating hard on mechanical calculators would surely be useful... But there is no reason that building Babbage's Analytical Engine would be a pre-requisite for modern computing.

2

u/EdBTrim 10h ago

Honestly, I’m surprised that the current capabilities have emerged from what essentially started as language models.

How do language models become capable of solving millenium prize problems?

Turns out language is just a way of decoding meaning, and maths is a kind of language.

Feed them all of the science, data, audio, video we can and suddenly everything becomes language.

They suddenly become capable of intuiting actual physics because being able to predict what moves in the next frame gives you an inherent understanding of motion and gravity.

I won’t be shocked now if the current architecture a few generations down the line combined with persistent memory leads to a kind of intelligence we can only begin to understand.

A not too insignificant amount of the ones failing to do so are new accounts.

Debate is encouraged, but the fact that our rules are designed to allow for the closest thing to free speech on the topic of AI that Reddit enables, it leans more toward the free speech side of things. We don't remove posts that other more serious debate subs would tend to remove. It's not a total free-for-all, but debate is not necessarily required either. Just being on-topic about the subject of generative AI.

u/Zeekfox 9h ago

There's definitely some similarity, but I would like to make one distinction. Once you look past some of the memes and into the discussion, there's a lot more malice on the anti side. Anti's attack pros just for liking AI. Pros hate anti's for attacking them.

Look at it this way- which side wants peace more? If all the hostility was gone and each side could just go about their day, pros would be completely fine with that. But there's no chance that the anti side would agree to that.

u/Omega862 9h ago

I mean... I got jumped on by a rando and told to kms in a subreddit for a game recently for pointing out how it's weird that the subreddit says one thing about AI and their discord says another.

Like, I wasn't even saying AI was good/bad. Just how the two portions not being in agreement was weird.

u/Zeekfox 6h ago

And there's always going to be some idiot on any side of an argument.

I'm going off a more generalized experience from being on both pro and anti subs for a while. The overall feel of pro spaces may involve poking fun, but as a response to the negative behaviors from anti posts that get a ton of support from other anti's.

1

u/Omega862 5h ago

True enough (as far as there will always be idiots on any side of an argument)

Given the idea of Pro v. Anti in any discussion, however, there is always going to be one side that is on what can be considered the "attack" while the other pokes fun. We can actually observe this in the modern day in a lot of things (avoiding listing them only to avoid accidentally derailing).

Though, in the case of, and returning back to, the discussion of AI... In my experience, I've had plenty of instances where I either see someone, or am the someone, outside these few specific subreddits getting yelled at for not using AI or not wanting to. It's just not as heavily publicized, for lack of a better term. Antis, in this argument, have a lot more targets they can look at (IE: Datacenters and politicians), and thus there's more capacity to see the extremes in these discussions. Maps of Datacenters, Politicians pushing accelerationism or benefiting from AI companies, people funding or making AI, etc, provide visible focal points for the extremists to look at. Pros just don't't really have the same AMOUNT of people to point at. There are Anti-AI politicians and lobbyists, but that doesn't generate the same focus, for lack of a better term. The biggest I can think of is a politician claiming that people who are against AI are terrorists or enemies, or a politician demanding people use a really stupid term or be deemed the enemy... And both sides clown on the latter, but not the former.

u/sporkyuncle 11h ago

I think there should be room for debate.

Because often, a niche subreddit is chugging along with relatively few issues, and then out of nowhere someone shows up and raises a stink about AI, and it gets brigaded by others with the same agenda, fair mods might try to do a poll and then naturally the poll gets filled up by those who barely use the sub but want to see AI gone, and suddenly there's a new rule against AI in the sub.

If it's a small enough topic or niche enough sub, it's unlikely that you'd be able to "just make your own" new sub that's friendly for AI. Nobody would ever find it or visit your second sub just for what AI brings to the table. Like, imagine a random older game with a small cult following, like...I don't know, Lionhead's Black and White or something.

If the topic of AI can suddenly be raised and a rule added to ban it, then the reverse must also be true; you should be able to bring it up and ask the sub to reverse their decision or at least reconsider the issue. There shouldn't be a "one way street" here that always leads to banning AI.

In other words, if a sub has no rules against AI, then in accordance with OP's vision of respect, no one should suddenly ask for it to be banned, right?

u/Fragrant_Medium4927 11h ago

Right, so, according to your logic, if a new type of addictive and harmful drug is discovered, but there are no laws about banning it, it shouldn't be banned?

u/Zeekfox 9h ago

Drug addiction ruins peoples lives. An image isn't harmful just because it was AI generated.

-2

u/SpookyGeist01 8h ago

AI has literally driven multiple people to self-ending already bud.

2

u/Zeekfox 7h ago

That's not relevant to the discussion at hand. We're talking about subs banning AI. That means a blanket ban on anything AI generated. Posts on subs aren't automated. An image might be generated, but the poster is human. So if anything bad is posted, it's the humans fault.

0

u/SpookyGeist01 7h ago

Did you or did you not just claim that AI is not as bad as drug addiction because it doesn't ruin lives?

2

u/Zeekfox 6h ago

Again, not relevant to reddit. The problem you're referring to has more to do with chat bot regulation and restrictions on access by minors. That has nothing to do with harmless AI images being submitted as posts to subreddits.

It's like suggesting we ban aspirin from stores because fentanyl is causing deaths.

u/SpookyGeist01 6h ago

Why are you avoiding answering the question?

2

u/Zeekfox 5h ago

I didn't avoid anything. You just want me to say all AI is bad. There are problems in certain applications, but not in others. And a blanket ban from reddit is unwarranted.

1

u/SpookyGeist01 5h ago

I don't? I literally want you to answer the question. Did you, or did you not, say that drugs are worse than AI because they kill people? I'm not asking you anything about bans right now.

u/Fragrant_Medium4927 10h ago

Well, in some places personal use is actually allowed. It's distribution and popularization that is prohibited, mostly. If you ask me, OP's idea falls more under the latter, because personal use would be quietly using AI without telling anyone or publishing results

1

u/sporkyuncle 10h ago

That's not my logic, we're talking about OP's logic. OP says subreddits that allow or disallow AI should be allowed to maintain that stance without being bothered by "pros" or "antis" trying to change it.

1

u/Fragrant_Medium4927 10h ago

The thing is, nobody can force anyone online to change their stance on something. If a subreddit or any online community adopts a certain stance on whatever topic, it's either 1) because this stance alligns with the ideals of the community leaders, or 2) the community doesn't want to lose users (often because they could lose the majority, if they do not adopt that stance).

1

u/sporkyuncle 10h ago

Ok. So then OP is wrong, and since nobody can force anyone to adopt a certain stance, then there's nothing wrong with simply asking a sub to add or change a rule at any time, whether to ban AI or allow it.

u/TheHungersnotFrog 12h ago

I can agree BUT I have seen a lot of shit on both the big subs from each side and both are full with just hate against the other.

If it were just communities that share the positives I would get behind you for full but they mostly just post hate stuff.

u/AvidAllegory 12h ago

If you hate them then just don't engage with them. It's fine if you don't respect them

Alright, I'll take that back

But if they refuse to change then there's nothing to be done here tbh, best you can do is leave

This sub is teeming with AI loving rats like yourself, everything here is one sided, including polls.

Honestly, I like reddit because I can just mute the subreddits I hate.

1

u/tillytubeworm 10h ago

It’s an AI support subreddit, most likely those are just bots trying to farm attention or derail conversation for shits and giggles, just like most trolls online are just baiting for clicks. Best thing you can do is just don’t engage.

I figure you’d find more people using automated tools like farming bots in a place where people are more regularly using automated tools and assistance on things they can’t, or won’t do.

As an anti, I agree with this. In fact, I think it's totally fair to also make it against the rules to hate on an AI-generated post if it's explicitly allowed on that subreddit. A Subreddit has every right to ban AI content if they don't want it, but that means the reverse is true too.

u/QuerchiGaming 11h ago

Idk, pro-AI users seems like the most sad pathetic people I luckily only met online.

And not talking about the average joe using AI to create “art” for his own interests or playing a TTPRPG or something.

But the people that genuinely think they are creating art when asking a computer to create it for them.

All that being said, I’ve never inserted myself in a subreddit that I’m not a part of just to hate on what they are doing. I do however think most pro-AI people genuinely are incapable of overseeing all the problems it is creating and will create in the future. Just because they feel special for creating an image, and if an artist rightfully critiqued it they lash out and act like the victim.
Every interaction with a pro-AI person just makes me even more anti.

2

u/THE_ILL_SAGE 11h ago

And every interaction with people like you makes me more annoyed by antis. Fucking virtue signaling to the degree you guys just raid pros subreddits or review pages and try to bully them into not making ai art. Not saying you do it but I see this behavior quite often these days and it's filthy behavior. Trying to bully people out of doing something they are enjoying is pathetic. 

Reminds me of liberals who bully people online for not doing/saying things the 'right' way and then get surprised that so many people are turning right. I lean liberal myself and really, liberals are their own worst enemy at this point.

Nonetheless, I'm a creative and don't even use AI much in my work. If I do, it's just in the planning/brainstorming stage. But I don't mind regular people being able to generate whatever they have in their imagination. Sometimes they cross pollinate ideas that have never been blended before and actually come up with something novel. 

At the end of the idea, I like seeing what people imagine. A lot of people are having fun generating what's on their mind and could never realize before. And many artists use it to fill in gaps in their capabilities (ex: they draw beautifully but don't how to use blender, and use ai to turn their 2d art into 3d). I've seen artists using AI create some really cool stuff in the past 2 years. 

You have most certainly saw something cool that you liked, and had no idea was ai assisted in the past 2 years. Artists can easily hide any ai artifacts/tells to the point you just won't notice. They won't mention they used AI in the process cause you antis are fanatical.  

And these tools are only getting better to the point, all of the antis woes will literally go unheard. And in 5 years from now, you guys will give up on whining about it. You're wasting energy. 

And shit, I must imagine most of the antis aren't even creative. The kinds of possibilities open to all people with any degree of imagination right now are almost endless. Even when these tools were far more limited a few years ago, there was so much you can do with them. A part of creativity is working with limitations.

u/QuerchiGaming 10h ago

Alright getting mad at liberals in an unrelated discourse just shows what I’m dealing with here. You’re being upset I’m calling out AI “art creators” because none of my other critiques are anywhere close to bullying people for not doing the right thing lmao.

AI isn’t creative. It works based on the creativity of others. That’s it limitation.

The art created is just a bunch of stolen content. Which is fine to use individually, but wrong to sell as art.

1

u/THE_ILL_SAGE 10h ago

I'm a lib myself. And yes, I get really annoyed by liberals because our over the top purity tests and online bullying just drives people to vote for dipshits like Trump. And it also annoys me that many of us can't see that there is an opportunity to actually implement a more marxist kind of economy with AI automation.

Obviously not with these tech overlords in charge but there is a window of opportunity if we play our cards right. But instead, majority of us have such a strong cognitive dissonance, that just the word AI triggers a repulsive response. Like let's look at the bigger picture here. This shit isn't going away and we can start working towards a potentially post scarcity economy that works for the benefit of us all.

AI is a tool. Photoshop is not creative. A brush is not creative. Paint is not creative. Those are also tools. The mind behind those tools is what makes creativity possible. It all starts with a thought and then the work that goes into manifesting that thought. People are using AI to manifest what they had in their imagination through describing their thoughts.

Soon, you will be able to actually just generate what you are imagining, by just thinking it. We already have seen this is possible with people generating speech with mere thought.

As for working off the creativity of others. We all fucking do that. Every artist works off of the art of others and blended their own thoughts/experiences into it to create something new.

AI contains the culmination of everything ever created by humans, and allows people to generate any combination of things they imagine. It is an imagination generator pretty much.

In the hands of artists, it gives them so much more power and capability. That is why I'm not too worried about the future. Artists will thrive and I can already see this, considering the main AI art/videos that go viral were made by artists. And in all that work, nobody can deny it has soul. It still does. It's when you just prompt 'create a masterpiece for me,' that you'll get generic slop.

u/wood_dj 9h ago

if you believe the “sToLen cOnTenT” line it’s pretty fucked up to think it’s ok for personal use. If I steal your car, it’s ok as long as I don’t resell it? AI doesn’t steal anything so it’s fine to use under whatever circumstances, but if you think it’s stealing why is it ok for personal use? Almost as though you don’t really believe it’s stealing anything…

u/Zeekfox 9h ago

The problem to this is the generalization.

And not talking about the average joe using AI to create “art” for his own interests or playing a TTPRPG or something.

Thing is, this is most of us. In fact, I'd say that describes me very well, as I have done some basic image generation that I never posted anywhere and I love the OOC app (AI powered storytelling where you're the main character, basically). But yet, outside of more pro-tolerant spaces, I get blasted with insults and attacks for enjoying any level of AI because there's zero nuance or distinction. And I'm certain there's a good number of other users who feel the same way.

And I'm not saying there aren't bad pros out there. Of course there are. But like, be careful that you're not attributing their sins upon the rest of us. It's very much like how certain groups will highlight a violent criminal who happened to be an immigrant and use that to paint all immigrants as violent criminals. It's just wrong.

u/DamirVanKalaz 5h ago

I think the main thing that earns it a bit of disrespect is that it's presented as defending AI. Obviously there's locally run models, but the majority of the AI images I see getting posted were clearly made with the corporate run shit. It's pretty clear that the AI being "defended" in this case largely includes the corporate bullshit, and that just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. A bunch of people who are probably in the same mess as the rest of us gathering together to defend the investments of a bunch of corporate shitlords who are actively doing everything to not only make our lives worse, but, ironically, to kill any potential AI had to actually benefit us as a society.

Every point I see being made is just defending the actions of the AI corpos. Multi-billionaires who do not need your defense nor care about you or anything you have to say. They're not going to give you a place as a butler in one of their mansions because you said nice things about them on reddit.

If any of these people really gave a shit about AI, I'd see more posts against the corporate shit that is twisting and corrupting what this tech could have been, and supporting the technology being developed the way it should have been. But none of them even so much as mention that. It's all just "I wanna make slop posts with chatGPT and spread them around the internet and not have anyone tell me it's dogshit, I love my corpo overlords, and I can't wait for the next stage of hyper-consumerism!!!".
