Sorry to cut in, but I have to hard disagree here.
The post in question has given someone the possibility of creating an image on par quality of any other *ball meme and saved about 20-30 minutes of work. It is an artistic expression, isn’t more or less ugly than other *ball memes of similar type, enhanced the expression of OP (who would had worse results for more work), and no artist can subsist on the creation of memes.
Also, it is very possible to create stuff like this on consumer grade hardware, taking not much more power than running a video game.
I agree that AI CAN be used to create piss-poor excuses for art or to push artists out of their work, but it’s the corpo’s doing that, not the technology. I also groan everytime AI gets shoehorned into another thing where it simply does not offer anything useful, but it surely makes a difference if a corp uses AI as cost-cutting measure, or a private person uses it to enrich their life, which - we shouldn’t forget that - the technology should be there for.
This is the one thing the Anti-AI trolls can’t wrap their heads around or if they can they refuse to and instead try to strawman their previous point, because without that part their argument is purely copyright apologia.
i love you guys and this community. not to be sappy but the mass promulgance of ignorance in our society has me legitimately grieving at times lately, and db0 is always a gigantic breath of fresh air that reminds me humanity is righteous at our core. not to be cringe but it’s easy to slip into doomerism and “we are just intrinsically bad,” you guys help me combat that sentiment - even in my own psyche.
Spinoza would be proud of db0.
