I just had to repost that question, as I’ve gotten plenty of comments saying “what does that have anything to do with socialism or other forms therein?”.
That said, for a start, I think AI should be regulated… heavily.
Those things are already illegal, we just need to enforce existing laws
How do you propose to regulate it exactly? I mean there are open source models that you can run locally and do whatever you want if you remove it from the clear net they will still be distributed in the deep web so how do you propose to do such a thing? Making them illegal will not stop criminals like it does with pretty almost all illegal things.
- I get your point, there are open-source AI
- AI is being used for commercial purposes (read: for profit), and is being used in ads, YouTube videos and such. AI slop is running rampant to a point where kids who watched AI slop had trouble knowing if something’s AI-generated or not. I think AI should be regulated to a point where it can only be used for noncommercial purposes (such as recreation and assistance), NOT to mention kids should be taught knowing if something is AI slop. As for the deep web, Seriously!
Oh understood you mean more about the government regulating the hosting and distributing platforms to forbid AI content.
I think it’s possible but AI companies have a lot of money they can easily bribe the hell out of all politicians including left-wing ones, they could also invest their resources, technology and money into other industries which could lead to more money.
You can also make them add some kind of mandatory labelling when something is made using IA, but I believe that can even make the problem worse.
I think it is possible but hard to achive WO mention as I previously said the criminals won’t stop using it in the shadows.
- Well the government might do prevent AI companies from lobbying politicians from both sides of the aisle.
- As for mandatory labeling of AI-generated products - something like that. A little bit like the “quack Miranda warning” you see in supplement bottles and such.
A lot of it will correct itself once the bubble bursts and AI companies have to be profitable. AI needs to be regulated and all that, but also importantly it needs to not be subsidized. Make them pay for the environmental cost of computing. Subject them to the same laws you would anyone else - don’t allow crazy data centres that steal people’s water and electricity.
Then again, even when it becomes more expensive than it is now creeps will still pay to have non-consensual content produced. So regulating the fuck out of the industry is also essential, but I honestly doubt we’ll make much progress before after the crash. The EU is making some decent efforts but it’s also too afraid of missing out on the slop bubble.
