I’m curious to get a general pulse on how people here view the rapid evolution of AI, specifically on lemmy. On one side, there’s growing interest in local open-weights models, self-hosted setups, and practical developer/productivity tools. On the other, there seems to be a growing list, I can’t keep track of, that are seen as major concerns. I’m not here to pick sides or be biased in one corner. Im genuinely curious what people have to say about AI in general. And maybe it will help me and other get a better handle on how we perceived it in our ever changing world.
LLMs were fascinating and I very rarely use one if I can’t find information online for the life of me.
I hate what OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok etc are doing to get the training data. Whatever I put only is likely scanned and gobbled up by some AI Agent. I am an Artist. Uploading art has always been uncomfortable to me, now with scraping I truly hate it. i am glad there are services like Glaze and Nightshade, but there are some shitheads working on cracking these. I worry about missing legislation. I worry about the security breaches. I am not sure if they are mere marketing, but regardless, it shows how capable AI Agents are, and how much damage they can cause.
