A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I don't mean to "um achtually" you or diminish the point you're making, but I would like to highlight one example of an ethnically trained AI.
Voice Swap pay artist to come in and record data for training, the artist then get royalties any time someone uses their voice. I discovered it through Benn Jordan's video about poising music track from AI training.
Yeah, except royalties in music are almost always a joke. Those artists are going to make much less off their AI voice than if they actually appeared in studio and the end product is going to be worse. If AI cost the same or more, there would be no market for it. Relevant story about Hollywood actors who sold AI likenesses.
Even if it was actually "ethically trained", the end result is still horrible.
Also, paying to have an AI Snoop Dogg in your song is the lamest shit I've ever heard.
Someone saying whatever heinous shit they want using your voice seems a bit unethical, as does getting paid pennies for it.
That AI was trained on absolute mountains of data that wasn’t ethically gained, though.
Just because an emerald ring is assembled by a local jeweler doesn’t mean the diamond didn’t come from slave labor in South Africa.
