GrapheneOS defends use of AI for coding

GrapheneOS is currently defending its use of AI coding tools on Mastodon against complaints by various accounts claiming to be users.

We do not understand where you’re coming from or why you’re so incredibly angry with us. It’s not justified and does not make sense.

Remind me to stay away from that Nazi bar.

Defenders of genAI might as well hoist their vintage early 1940s German flags while they’re ahead! Though I suppose an Italian or Japanese flag from the same time period would also work as well.

What has AI got to do with Nazism?

For all their faults (and there are many) the GOS dev(s) are one of the good guys.

Well, I conflate Nazism witg fascism and same goes with genAI. It’s already a link in mg head, ao I’m trying to stay as far away from things using genAI coding as well. Keeps me from having to remove the label of “person” from myself.

What about Mistral AI? Stable Diffusion? They Nazis too?

And ‘genAI’ - not sure what thats suposed to mean but AI use is growing fastest with the boomers and all ages are using it.

Spouting nonsense about things you clearly know little about makes you sound as backward as the MAGA morons.

1. By genAI I mean generative AI, like mistral and stable diffusion.
2. So yeah, I would include them the same way I would include things like craiyon or perplexity.
3. As a creative, the fact that almost every genAI model in existance relies on training on copyrighted works¹ is more than enough for me to hate it. There’s a reason why even the RIAA is in a lawsuit against suno, that seemingly hasn’t been settled yet. Despite them being the devil, I would still support them before supporting genAI.
4. I do not care what anyone else thinks about it. I have made it a life goal of mine to see to it that a future where genAI ( and the creatures who willingly use it ) are minimized as much as possible in society at just about any cost.
5. Do I sound deranged for all this? Yes. Do I care? No.

Edit:

I am also not hearing any of the genAI companies calling out things like how grok was allowed the feature set of undressing literally anyone without consent. Most I heard was backlash from everyone else. Similar thing to that one “person” on r•ddit trying to recruit people to try and strip away the effectiveness of tools such as Glaze and Nightshade off images illegally scrapped ( or at least should have been more than illegal ) from a site made for real artists ( those who do not use genAI for their work at any point ). Haven’t seen any backlash from any of those creatures or any of the companies responsible for creating those creatures.

Consent in the realm of genAI is as real as in the realm of rapists and I will defend that view until I die.

You went mask-off, revealing a dehumanization-wielding RIAA-bootlicker.

Scratch an “AI is fascism” person, and a real fascist bleeds.
