The big difference is Deepseek is open sourced, which ALL of these models should be because they used our collective knowledge and culture to create them.
I like AI but the single biggest issue is how it is being gated off and abused by Capitalists for profit (It’s kind of their thing).
Open-weighted*
Yeah. That is true.
Exactly. DeepSeek Mr Bean is shading the answers with everyone. Not hoarding them for his own gain.
Artists use our collective knowlege and culture in the same way. Its just some of them are whiney and complain when ai does their job faster and cheaper.
I am an artist & I agree, actually.
I do think it’s problematic that corpos are using AI to replace working artists, although that’s a systemic issue affecting a lot of disciplines.
That said, and I will get hate for this, there is a case to be made that if artists were more creative and interesting in general, they wouldn’t be so easily displaced by AI slop.
Yeah I mean faster and cheaper does not mean more creative.
Artists do the same shit and demand money for it.
Artists create original content.
No. They create derivations of content they consumed prior. Most of them will even post their “inspirations” along with their derivations. And no one gives a shit.
If is shit, then stop consuming it. (no movies, no comics, no series, no books, NO ART)
OR
If is worthless then anyone can easily do it. Just create that yourself, BUT without using a program who steal and mix-up previous artworks. You don’t need that, right?
But ofk you work for free, right?
I don’t really. I don’t go to or buy any of those. Haven’t in decades. “Artists” like to think WAAAAAAY to highly of themselves and their work.
There’s a fundamental difference between a person learning from other people, and machines learning from other people, because the latter can be copied infinitely. One person can only generate so much output, while the machine can be scaled horizontally.
Irrelevant Human exceptionalism. Just because something is copyable doesn’t inherently make it worse. Just as something being difficult to obtain doesn’t make it inherently better.
“Irrelevant human exceptionalism”? Sorry I don’t want creatives to starve while a few rich people get ever richer.
