Are we really turning to AI to create a few 3D shapes and a rock wall with a hole in it?
I get the joke - it’s funny even. But seriously I would rather see a crude stick drawing from someone with no artistic talent than this soulless slop.
It’s so fucking common these days. I keep seeing it on things I want to like, but I refuse to encourage the behavior.
Then why are you on Lemmy’s leading AI friendly instance created by the guy who makes the AIhorde? Seems kind of like a conflict of interest…
I don’t filter by instance. I get everything. Also, it doesn’t change my point.
I mean you kind of should care since the tagline of the instance is “Be Weird, Download a Car, Generate Art, Screw Copyrights” it’s kind of hypocritical to stay on an instance if you don’t believe in or are aggressively against its principles. Like it wouldn’t make sense for someone to be a member of the piracy instance if they believe that piracy is wrong and intellectual property should be respected, similar thing goes for the AI instance. That might sound like a wrong comparison but the vast majority of anti-AI arguments I hear people barf up are along the lines of “we need to respect copyright” and “stealing intellectual property is wrong” “won’t someone think of the
childrenartists”.

“square hole”
That’s right!
I’m not an anti-AI absolutist, but for environmental reasons we should significantly cut down on the use of AI, especially for unnecessary things such as memes.
Ehhh I don’t like AI but high quality shitposts are like the best use of AI imo. I guess it depends on the effort
Like for example this unironically goes hard: https://youtu.be/B05KyAyAa4k
I mean it’s nice to have high quality shit posts but AI is still the electronic equivalent of coal rolling.
I mean I agree with you if we’re talking about openAI, but not so much if we’re talking about lower end models meant to be self-hosted. In that case it’s not really much different from putting people down for gaming or other GPU heavy operations, and at that point we’re just fully leaning into the carbon footprint propaganda.
I hope you aren’t going to argue how other people should be allowed to use their own GPUs, that would be very ironic considering your name, @[email protected]
I mean if people use a self-hosted model on their own GPU that’s really their prerogative how they choose to use their GPU and the energy it uses.
