Raw LLM Responses

@fawndeu When technology advances - it damages or destroys certain existing industries. It usually creates new ones along the way, but that's not a guarantee. I also run a video game studio, and there are artists I work with. As a small studio - art is an expense, so what's bad for an artist is actually good for me, I get to afford more art for my product. You might think I'm just a stingy bigot, and that's fine, but it's a fact. There are winners and the are losers, what's good for one might be bad for other. I hope to see artists embrace the AI and become more productive, being able to put their cool ideas "on paper", so to speak, much faster and with less effort. Maybe I'm an idealist. Problems with tools like Nightshade - it's a grift, and a bad one at that. The researchers are actively looking for funding and the reason they did this project is just that - to drum up some buzz. They admit in their own paper that unless an ungodly amount of money is poored into Nighshade on continuous basis - it becomes irrelevant. Why is it "bad"? Because it just delays the problem, and the result of that delay is more electricity being used to rerun training, and more silicone being required. It's making the process more expensive, not in a way that would prevent AI from working, but in a way that just creates waste. Here's an example of good poisoning - encryption. We make breaking encrypted message so hard that it's pointless to try, the attempt is not worth the effort. What if your data could be cracked, but it cost 10$ to do it? Do you think it would deter anyone? - some, sure. With Nightshade, we're talking about increasing costs to AI industry by maybe 0.1% or something like that. Worse yet, you promote industry that compiles training dataset, AI company sees poison, and they say "nah man, it's too much hassle", so another company springs up that sifts through this data and sells you "safe" results. It's all around bad, for artists too, it gives them false sense of security and wastes their time. This lady here, seems like a cool artist, she created these images in hopes of harming AI, right? If not today, months from now, her "poisoned" art will serve the exact opposite purpose.
