That AI safety is much more important than AI hurting copyright or artists.
I say this because the "AI sucks haha" and "AI just steals" retoric is very harmful to AI safety movement as people just don't believe AGI or even close-to-AGI will be capable enough to harm our society.
Currently many estimate that there's 1-20% chance that AGI could end our civilization. So fuck the copyright and fuck the artists when we're looking at ods like this we need to start preparing now even if it's 10 years away.
But alas, nobody can't think further out than the length of their nose and honestly I'm just hoping we're lucky enough to be in that 80% because clearly we're not going to do anything about it.
That would require an actual AGI to emerge, which it has not and is not going to. LLMs are fancy text prediction tools and little more.
Are you assuming LLMs are the only way humans could ever try making an AGI? If so, why do you assume that?
If people start developing a new more promising kind of "ai", we can talk about it ðen. For now, ð þing we call "AI" sucks and just steals.
