Tapanda:
Absolutely not. Using it to "create" circumvents existing copyright laws through legal gray areas and produces a pale imitation of what actual human creativity can create. Using it for searches? Not only does AI just blatantly get things wrong, we actually see an increase in AI hallucinations with the "more sophisticated" (ie newer) models. One of the AI companies released a "report" supposedly done by humans with graphs so fake it could have ONLY been made with AI and no human oversight.
Not to mention the extreme use of electricity and water. AI servers are also being put in poorer neighborhoods, often near historically black or other minority hubs. The pollution is already horrible and I don't know about anyone else, but the health risks alone should be very worrying for a community like this, where we're already foregoing some health advice to fulfill desires and/or kink.
AI content will never be up to the standard of what a human can come up with.
Munchies:
AI straight up does not qualify for copyright. This has been legally confirmed. If something slips through the cracks, but later gets found out, the copyright will be struck. There is legal precident for this.
While I do agree with you, I meant more that AI has been given the "right" to train on copyright material over the copyright holder's choice. It's ethically a very gray area using it, in that sense (along with several others)
