Sunday morning, doing 3 things at once, all of them unimportant & only commanding a small section of brain.

Once again notice in time to click the CANCEL button when Adobe asks me to agree to their terms for using their Generative AI after I accidentally select a tool that uses it.

I've managed to avoid all their cloud storage for years now as well, and they pester about that too.

Small victories.

#AI #GenerativeAI #AIBubble #AIHype: "I’m wary of taking a “god of gaps” approach to AI: arguing that the things frontier systems can’t do today are the things they’ll never be able to do is a fast track to looking dumb down the line. But when the model presented by critics of AI does a good job of predicting exactly the sort of problems the technology is going to struggle with, it should add to the notes of concern reverberating around the markets this week: what if the bubble is about to burst?"

I know it's a new technology, and we're told that it's all complicated, but it just seems fairly obvious to me that using anything in training data is creating a derivative work from it, ergo consent should be needed beyond fair use stipulations, just like using someone's text in a book, or their music in a video.

All the talk about it being so new and different just seem like deliberate obfuscation as a stalling tactic against regulation.
