Technological development and the future of our civilization is in control of a handful of idiots.

Ollama and stable diffusion are free open source software. Nobody is forcing anybody to use chatGPT

I don't really agree that this is the biggest issue, for me the biggest issue is power consumption.

[–] CitricBase@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

That is a big issue, but excessive power consumption isn't intrinsic to AI. You can run a reasonably good AI on your home computer.

The AI companies don't seem concerned about the diminishing returns, though, and will happily spend 1000% more power to gain that last 10% better intelligence. In a competitive market why wouldn't they, when power is so cheap.

"Biggest" maybe. But it's not the only relevant problem. I think AI is gonna pan out like social media did, which is to say it's gonna be a shit show for society. And that would be the same no matter who owned it.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago

Both AI and social media are a shit show because it's owned by a few people.

Unironically, the best social media is Fetlife. Not that it's perfect by any means--not by far--but it is designed to facilitate bringing people together.

Reading the other comments, it seems there are more than one problem with AI. Probably even some perks as well.

Shucks, another one or these complex issues huh. Weird how everything you learn something about turns out to have these nuances to them.

most of the replies can be summarized as "the biggest problem with AI is that we live under capitalism"
