@tripu I'm a bit concerned about the indiscriminately pulling up bits of data, although the arguments used are usually not good, and it's an immature area. The "solutions" are also usually pretty nuclear.

Flawed (or dishonest) logic behind criticism:

* All human artists “train on [stolen] images”, too. There's simply no other way.
* Something (or someone) surpassing your ability to do something does not “deskill” you. Your own skills aren't affected.
* Human workers being “disempowered” and “replaced” by new technology is a centuries-old constant of History, and a very good one overall — we have been dealing with that forever, and when sufficient time passes, everyone's happy about the change. This critic should realise that she didn't rely on human scribes, human postmen, human typesetters, etc to make her point heard: she sent e-mail to a newspaper that is composed and produced using and employing a fraction of the workers that were once necessary — and we're receiving her ideas on our computers in the form of a digital image; so many human workers out of the loop now! And that's great.

I'm not necessarily happy about the disorganised way AI is happening, either. But find better arguments, and make specific proposals, people.

@susan77 I fully recognize that people do not like AI generated content. But can someone explain to me how the way an AI image generator is trained is different from how a human artist gets inspiration and learns?

(Yes, the number is debatable. Think “armed conflict”, “armed force between two or more organized armed groups”, and “≥ 1K deaths in the past year”. I'll provide “sources” when the poll closes.)

Foto de la celebración del #solsticio de invierno esta mañana en #Zaragoza. Nunca había venido a ver el sol alineándose al milímetro con la que ahora se llama Calle Mayor, pero es algo que viene de los romanos, como todo en nuestra ciudad.

Es un acto que conmemora el nacimiento de Caesaraugusta, para la que proyectaron la sombras, hicieron cálculos e hicieron coincidir el sol en este día con las dos grandes avenidas de la ciudad romana, el cardo máximo y el decumano máximo.

The influence of _“four dimensions (academic involvement, structure, cultural stimulation, and goals)”_ on _“child personality ”_ is **_“small”_**:

> _“We extended this by examining the long-term relations between four underexplored parenting dimensions and child traits using bivariate latent growth models in **a large longitudinal dataset (N = 3,880)**. Results from growth models revealed a preponderance of null relations between these parenting measures and child personality, especially between changes in parenting and changes in child personality. In general, the observed associations between parenting and child Big Five personality were comparable in magnitude to the association between factors such as SES and birth order, and child personality—that is, **small**.”_

Longitudinal Associations Between Parenting and Child Big Five Personality Traits

The goal of this research was to explore the relationships between four parenting dimensions (academic involvement, structure, cultural stimulation, and goals) and child personality development. Many theories, such as social learning, attachment theory, and the psychological resources principle assume that parenting practices influence child personality development. Most of past research on the associations between parenting and child Big Five traits specifically has used cross-sectional data. The few longitudinal studies that examined these associations found small relations between parenting and child personality. We extended this research by examining the long-term relations between four underexplored parenting dimensions and child Big Five personality traits using bivariate latent growth models in a large longitudinal dataset (N = 3,880). Results from growth models revealed a preponderance of null relations between these parenting measures and child personality, especially between changes in parenting and changes in child personality. In general, the observed associations between parenting and child Big Five personality were comparable in magnitude to the association between factors such as SES and birth order, and child personality—that is, small. The small associations between environmental factors and personality suggest that personality development in childhood and adolescence may be driven by multiple factors, each of which makes a small contribution.
