@DrFerrous I've been writing and publishing code on the Web since about the time the Web began. I'm sure that a lot of my original work is used for training data.

I generally don't like LLM-generated images or video. I mostly don't like LLM-generated text -- it's usually flat, wordy, and full of business jargon. I don't use LLMs for either of these things.
@evan common GenAI images aren't great, since they're generated by image uneducated users.
But I've seen really interesting work by photographers already (it's not a surprise, since their own art got the same criticisms a century ago "it's not your work, it's the machine's", "it's not art, it's engineering"). But that also implies that a lot of curation and post-production takes place in the process, just like photography.
And of course, using the medium to say something through it.

I see a lot of strong anti-LLM takes on the Fediverse. I like some of them, and I don't like others. I sometimes respond if I think I can contribute to the conversation, but not always.
@evan working on a piece on this but broadly in agreement - i think the AI exceptionalism is fever pitch here rn as if everything up to here was somehow fine and dandy and now we've passed an invisible threshold into fascism. like cmon...

@NIGHTEN It's OK. I support the project because I appreciate the values. I haven't used it for code; I'm not sure that's easy to do.
