Generative AI: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

Generative AI, also referred to as GenAI or simply AI, is a program whose existence is to generate pieces of media based off of a simple prompt (e.g. "How long do I heat popcorn for in the microwave?" or "bowl of buttery popcorn, realistic, artstation, pretty") with various and random results. GenAI over its currently short existence being accessible to the public has garnered large amounts of concern across the various fields it has been applied to. <!-- I used to help operate a Kialo discussion covering Generative AI, that discussion may be beneficial for reference as a way to further flesh this page out. Just please take note that most claims are a few years old and may not be accurate, so please fact-check any statements from there before mentioning anything anti-consumer here

~~=== Stability AI's mass scraping ===~~

When training their generative models, StabilityAI was frequently caught scraping massive amounts of the internet to fuel their training database. This has gone so far as to lead to Getty Images suing StabilityAI over using their content as training data.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/legal/getty-images-lawsuit-says-stability-ai-misused-photos-train-ai-2023-02-06/</ref>

+<!-- ADMIN COMMENT: This article is fine as a collection of consumer-facing GenAI issues and incidents, however we need to avoid straying into territory relating to workers rights, the ethics of web-scraping for training data, or other similar concerns. This wiki is to be strictly focussed on consumer affairs! If a company changes the terms of a contract to force users into letting their private data be used for AI training, that is relevant. If a company has laid off 500 workers to replace them with a chatbot, the treatment of those workers is not relevant to this wiki (although consumer-facing issues caused by the use of the chatbot might be!).-->
