  • My Take On AI

    Would you buy shoes that were made by slave labor in some
    third-world sweat shop? No, you would not.

    How about a pair of pants that were sewn by forced human
    workers kept in cages? No, you would not.

    Why not? Because it is a *dirty* practice. All such goods
    are dirty. They are tainted, contaminated, diseased.

    The same applies to any code either partially or totally
    composed by AI. It is dirty. It is tainted, contaminated,
    diseased.

    If someone were to offer you code that was either partially
    or totally composed by AI then just respond thusly:

    "Keep that dirty, filthy crap away from me! I will never
    touch that stinking garbage!"

    That is the only natural reaction to AI.

    I agree!!! And more: training AI on public data is violence copyright

    There are many other examples.

    Chocolate is a very luscious and also very expensive commodity.

    Some unscrupulous companies, however, want to reduce the expense, for
    their profit, by making "phony" chocolate. They will mix cocoa powder
    with cheap palm oil, instead of the real cocoa butter, to make an ersatz chocolate that they will then claim as the real thing.

    If one has ever tasted this phony chocolate it is readily apparent that
    it is a junk food. Real chocolate is far better.

    IMO, this process of falsification is identical to the AI "revolution."

    But only a highly discriminating taste can distinguish real chocolate
    from its phony incarnation. The same is true for AI.
