   Why are all the people who hate AI so pissy about it.

     @davew in my specific case it boils down to:

     * how the training model was made without any regard to licenses and copyright.
     * how it will output code that contains full on verbatin proprietary code from repos it shouldn't use.
     * how it will plagiarise and mimic artwork by real artists in a way that had a human done it, it would end up in litigation.
     * how it is very confident in its halucinations.
     * the energy cost of all of it.

     I'm mostly complaining about generative AI.

     i just get tired of hearing that, esp when there's a big dose of rudeness thrown in (you're being perfectly polite).

     @davew people are angry and even though that is no justification for rudeness, I empathise with their sentiment.

     Artists already have a really hard time these days without AI adding a ton of noise to the internet.

     There are crap AI publishers flooding the short story and eBook markets now. The stories don't work of course, but once you have thousands of new items per day, it is very hard for real artists to get noticed.
