Bit black and white thinking, but there’s some truth to it. I mean in reality everything is nuanced. Your government is probably neither fully democratic nor authoritarian and art is supposed to be there for everyone but then it costs money and you need time and not a 70h work-week to participate. But generative AI has some additional obstacles due to the cost of computing, the datasets and the impact. The closest we get is something like Mozilla’s Common Voice and these efforts to collaboratively work towards an open source text to speech, or machine translation… But we can see how it only got us so far and then the big companies and research institutes did the natural sounding ones. LLMs or video generators are pretty much exclusionary as they are laid out today. And I think that’s the biggest issue with them next to environmental impact. (I don’t think the automation of human thought itself is the problematic aspect, I mean my neighbour having a brain also doesn’t limit mine, so I don’t think it’s due to the existence of other “intelligent” entities. But it’s really the other thing that makes it bad.)
