#and this is even setting aside everything about the ethics of severance and ai as well

[bare1ythere]

I watched a video recently on stupid products with AI incorporated into them, like BBQs, baby monitors, mirrors, etc. and it got me thinking about how Severance is a really good metaphor for the overuse of AI in all aspects of life. Using AI to generate an image instead of learning to draw, or to translate your homework instead of learning a language, or to plan your essay instead of thinking critically yourself... severance has the potential to removal all complicated, boring, or unpleasant parts of mundane life, but in doing so leaves little left for your "outie" (in Gemma's case especially). You never have to learn or challenge difficult tasks because you can leave it entirely up to something (someone) else.

Okay I've been offline for a few hours since the original deviantArt DreamUp kaboom happened so I'm trying to piece together the myriad of things that happened in the meantime. I'm now seeing people call everyone who got mad about the situation "overreacting" and "defaulting to outrage" and I don't think that's quite right. I think perhaps a few people misunderstood some wording or didn't get the full picture, but that the overall anger was entirely well-placed.

I might not have everything 100% correct here because I was offline for a bit of the action. If that's the case, let me know—I'd like to get the full picture because I'm still deciding what to do about my dA accounts too.

Disclaimer: This is not a discussion of whether AI art is art or is good or worthwhile. This is just about the dA situation.

(Long post under the cut)

The events as they happened until this afternoon:

AI generators have long been scraping dA, among other art sites, for images. Artists widely regard this as shitty. dA had no say in this either.

dA announced that an opt-out is now available (though everyone is opted-in by default, and opting out is a tedious manual process)

dA also announces their own ethical-er AI that credits artists

From that point I went offline for a few hours. I return to

News that the dA Twitter team was awful to some artists who were voicing concerns about this

People insisting it was an overreaction and dA isn't being scummy (the Twitter team sure, but not dA's site team) and

As a result of pushback, dA has now made all work default opted-out.

From where I'm sitting now catching up on the developments...I don't think we really misunderstood dA's original intentions? This sucks? I think some people are being too quick to defend dA here and point fingers at us for being reactionary.

Yes, our images were being used by 3rd party sites without our consent prior to this. Yes, it's nice that we can now opt-out, and I appreciate dA's efforts here. Genuinely, I do. I also appreciate the labeling of AI art and allowing users to choose whether they see AI art or not.

However, it blows that this was originally launched as default opt-in. Several people said "easier opt-out is coming, you're all being dramatic" but I think this was disproven by just how quickly that opt-out came. If they had always intended to make it default opt-out then they should've waited a few more hours or days for that to be done before launching this project/announcement.

I think the default opt-out only came because everyone spoke up and said "hey, wait—we knew AI engines were scraping us without your consent, dA, but now you've just said they DO have consent unless we say otherwise."

To repeat: This blows, and people were right to be angry! Even setting aside how long it would take some people to mark every one of their works as opt-out, even setting aside a single mass opt-out button, having it be default opted-in means that inactive and deceased artists are fair game, just because they didn't say no to a technology that popped up years after they uploaded their work.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate when someone says "mea culpa, we listened and corrected ourselves". We should adjust to new information! But I think it reveals their intent, which is still the core problem here. Prior to the backpedaling, why were things launched like this?

My guess: If I take dA at its word that deviations were not directly used to train DreamUp, then we have to look at how DreamUp WAS trained. dA confirmed it was trained off of Stable Diffusion which was trained in the usual way (that is to say, unethically by dA's own standards!) and dA was just telling us "hey we've been doing this anyway and now we're letting you know kthxbai".

dA wanted things default opt-in because—again, I'm guessing but it tracks—if they made things default opt-out, the field for future AI training (including updates to Stable Diffusion and therefore DreamUp) would thin, and they would come under fire for using so much provably-opted-out material in their training already (which has happened anyway with the new default). They were ensuring the field would continue to be seeded rather than making a very safe guess about how this would go over.

(Transcript in alt text)

I think it's fair to call that hypocrisy.

I appreciate that dA is trying to shift culture towards an ethical AI model that credits artists...though I believe only certain things will be credited, like if you were explicitly named in a prompt, so...ethical-lite, really. Despite that wrinkle, yes, I think other AIs should do this.

However this ignores the issue that I suspect many, many deviantArt users do not want their art being used in AI at all, even if credited. deviantArt saying "we're protecting you from outside AIs!" does not fix that the call was coming from inside the house this time.

THAT is what people are mad about.

Speaking of, how DID they think this would go over? dA dipping its toes into the AI scene with their own AI, a famously controversial topic amongst non-AI artists? Can't ignore that DreamUp is pay to play too—dA is making money off of DreamUp, just like the other AI engines.

If we shake dA's hand for speaking up for us, we also have to recognize that their other hand is going behind our back and taking a piece of the pie. If you can't beat 'em, monetize 'em I guess.

Also, you may see another opt-out form floating around: You can apply to opt out of having your specific name(s) allowed in DreamUp prompts, though it's heavily implied that they'll only be removing big name artists...Which I suspect is because those are the artists who are already in the unethical training set. Basically, "hey you might appear in this—let us know if you don't want that! But we're not going to tell you who's in there and who's not so just let us know if it might be you."

In my eyes this is (1) admission that yes, dA artists ARE in that set because of how it was originally sourced and (2) allows them a little wiggle room with that nasty default opt-out, because these artists were violated prior to the opt-out and are, in fact, what a substantial portion of the AI model is based on so any AI engine (including an ethical one!) would be reluctant to remove them.

Am I misunderstanding anything here? Because I'm seeing one clear fool at fault who was only cowed by the backlash.

As a final note, there's still one sticking point that is likely outside of dA's control: I suspect the new "noai" command, while a clear mark of non-consent, does not actually prevent 3rd party AIs from continuing to scrape deviations. It now violates dA's ToS to use a noai image, but does that have any teeth? Will dA go to bat for us if other AIs don't respect noai? (I don't think we have the answers to this right now, but it's something to keep an eye on.)

Anyway, I'll stop talking for now. Really feeling like an old timey blog here on tumblr dot com.

22 Apr 2019: Facebook wants to be regulated, why meal kit companies fail, and finding AI bias

Hello, this is the Co-op Digital newsletter - it looks at what's happening in the internet/digital world and how it's relevant to the Co-op, to retail businesses, and most importantly to people, communities and society. Thank you for reading - send ideas and feedback to @rod on Twitter. Please tell a friend about it!

Facebook wants to be regulated

Last month, Facebook’s Zuckerberg called for more regulation of content, election integrity, privacy and data portability. The charitable reading of this is that he wants to make FB better, fairer, and less data-exploitive. The uncharitable reading: because more regulation means more compliance process, activities and people, large companies are usually better placed to handle it well, so regulation becomes a defensive moat that helps large incumbents vs their competitors.

(Good and bad Facebook: it will ban several of Britain's most prominent far-right pages for "spreading hate". FB says that it 'unintentionally uploaded' the email contacts of 1.5m users since May 2016. Facebook still not effectively understanding what's going onto its platform.)

Anyway, the UK Gov might have been listening because it has published its Online Harms white paper, and is seeking feedback on it until July.

“The new regulatory framework this White Paper describes will set clear standards to help companies ensure safety of users while protecting freedom of expression, especially in the context of harmful content or activity that may not cross the criminal threshold but can be particularly damaging to children or other vulnerable users. It will promote a culture of continuous improvement among companies, and encourage them to develop and share new technological solutions rather than complying with minimum requirements.”

Elsewhere in regulation, the pharmacy regulator has set new safety rules for the online sale of medicines.

Why meal kit companies fail

Meal kit businesses are complex and have a lot of cost: “The Achilles heel of meal-kit companies is that the business has exceptionally high customer acquisition costs, high operational and supply-chain costs, high logistics costs and low customer retention.” This means that, once the initial discounts end, the service feels too expensive.

On top of that, people are less likely to plan meals ahead, so delivered kits are fighting a broader trend: “Dinner is often a last-minute decision and sometimes people just don’t want to decide [what to eat] a week before”. Making meal kits in grocery stores may help because it gets round this second problem: people pop to the local shop to grab tonight’s dinner and see a kit that makes the meal even more convenient.

Finding AI bias

Ben Evans wrote a good piece exploring the nature of machine learning systems and what it means to talk about AI bias, and concluded:

“ML finds patterns in data - what patterns depends on the data, and the data is up to us, and what we do with it is up to us. Machine learning is much better at doing certain things than people, just as a dog is much better at finding drugs than people, but you wouldn’t convict someone on a dog’s evidence. And dogs are much more intelligent than any machine learning.”

One concern about machine learning is that they’re black boxes - it’s hard to look inside them to see how and why they’re finding patterns or making decisions. His counter-argument is that, well, everything else is a bit black-boxy too - or certainly everything else that involves a human or groups of humans. He’s right that “AI” is just a capability, an indifferent tech layer that can be done well or badly, and that the problems belong to the human layer: is the model good?, is the data good? etc.

Buuut the reason why people talk about AI bias is that many of the commonly-cited use cases for AI involve it replacing humans in tasks that involves complex decisions, judgements, for example like this... actual... judge.

Health data

NHSX will mandate tech and data standards across the NHS, so that “our systems can talk to each other. This will save time, money and ultimately lives.” NHSX leads digital transformation efforts across health and social care.

Amazon Alexa can now be used for patient medical data in the US. Some new Alexa skills are now HIPAA-compliant - HIPAA is a US health privacy law/standard for secure access to patient data. (So you might wonder how secure services are which don’t use the HIPAA-compliant Alexa skills…)

Cheaper electric cars

Bloomberg reckons that by 2022 the up front cost of electric vehicles will be lower than for combustion vehicles - battery technology is getting better and a lot cheaper. If you leave aside the important emissions benefits for a second, the tricky maths for today’s car buyer is whether the lower maintenance and running costs of an electric vehicle would outweigh the higher up-front purchase cost. So if this prediction is true a lot of EVs are going to be sold and leased.

Parking garages with loads of cameras to tell you where there’s a free space and remind you where you parked.

Other news

“Marketers have brought this upon themselves. We’re overloaded, we’re not paying attention. We have to hear it from a trusted source before we’ll click. So nothing lights a fire on the internet overnight. Which means that big publicity campaigns fall flat. And if you can see the sell beneath the supposed event, people are turned off.” - virality is over in the age of fractured attention.

“For every minute Ms. Wojcicki spent discussing it, users uploaded to the site an additional 500 hours of footage.” - content moderation at YouTube’s scale (Wojcicki leads YT).

“Our industry has much to do” - British Interactive Media Association’s Tech and Inclusion report.

“With Security Keys, instead of the *user* needing to verify the site, the *site* has to prove itself to the key. Security is as much about human factors as cryptography” - a good explanation of using security keys to minimise the risks of “phishing”. If the account is important (or one you’d use to regain access to your *other* accounts, like an email address), then getting a hardware 2 factor authentication token is a lot better than relying on text message-based 2FA.

“The card in the photo still displays the @monzo BIN (5355 22) and the name of one of our staff members…” - in the gap between designing a new thing and design about a new thing, there are sometimes mistakes.

"face the ball to be the ball to be above the ball" - an AI generated a new sport for humans from the rules of many other sports. TBH, it sounds better than the sports that humans typically design for machines, like “perform this task without end”.
