      Lmao you people are deranged. “All AI art is soulless and you can always tell” but it’s almost always just a shitty image because artbros are equally capable of producing slop as AI, just like AI can be used for real art all the same and you will never know and have probably already enjoyed some.

      Sincerely always and forever, the source: Google images. I could give a fuck who made it, it’s just on the internet.

      Intellectual property isn’t real, and capitalists love that you think that it is.

        Will someone think of the little guy? Those poor billion-dollar AI companies are fighting capitalism.

        Get some perspective.

          Yes free and open source models created for free (as in libre and free beer) based off academic research funded by taxpayer money are definitely totally “billion-dollar AI companies”.

          Your astounding confident ignorance is only helping those billion dollar AI companies you (and I) hate so much.

          Stop fucking thinking of technology as “products” and “apps” and start actually thinking. IP is property, and it benefits those who own property, and it’s the same owners of that property (e.g. YouTubers, yes even hbomberguy) that spoon-feed you this shit, and it’s only because they want a cut.

          FOSS is the closest thing we have to functional productive communism right now, and AI is here to stay, and we should take it on just the same.

          Fear of the unknown and the new only leads to losing to those who do not fear, if AI is to exist, it must serve everyone, and your irrationality isn’t helping anyone.

          If anything - spreading fear about AI art as if it’s anything more than an advancement of digital tools that long already automated the realities of making art (like the ability to undo arguably did more lol).

          It only makes you look crazy, and also literally pumps up the stock of Sam altman & co. because if you’re driven to such insanity by it, there must be something to it.

          P.S. your strawman is weak as hell, watch this:

          "You see now the proles are making art, what’s the world come to? What next - will the peasants demand they have shelter, food and water, too? For information to be free, available to everyone, and not just those who deserve it by birthright?

          You know - us artists, the little guy, folks who by our very nature are meant to be gatekeepers of art from the unsightly hordes of the unwashed masses.

          Us - people who grew up rich enough to not have to work a day in our lives, who don’t have to worry about only making as much money as possible to survive, us who have the financial freedom to pursue something risky like art. Without us in charge to lead society in our image, and with the proles collectivising to make the world for everyone, a disaster is sure to come."
