Lmao at all the luddites angry at a new open source piece of tech who are using a niche open source forum to yell at the clouds for being left behind by technology
Edit: All the downvotes in the world wont stop me from using AI gen, nor will it stop you from being left behind
2nd Edit: Keep feeding my block list knuckle draggers, it hasnt had fuel like this since I started blocking Tankies
The Luddite comparison is rather unfair. AI will have its applications, but it’s largely turning into the next tech bro buzzword being inappropriately shoehorned into everything, just like companies were trying to do with crypto and block chain everything a couple of years back. Now, everywhere you turn is cramming it in by default, whether it’s actually helpful or not. Outlook suddenly started irritating attempts at “assisting” my email writing, when I search for stuff, I get previews with generic AI summaries rather than letting me see a snippet of the actual content, and on and on. AI art will be matter of taste, I suppose, but AI evangelists have taken a novelty and worn out its welcome faster than redditors beating the dead horse of a joke into the ground.
If companies weren’t constantly overselling its current capabilities and putting it in things it has no business being in, you would probably have a much less negative reaction to it. I’ll wait another few years to see what it actually shakes out to be useful for, but in the meantime, I don’t really want to hear about the latest and greatest AI-enabled toaster that uses cloud technology to predict when you want toast and to burn images based on voice prompts into your toast, while using a loaf-based block chain to identify which of your roommates should have used the heel of the loaf but skipped it.
Nuanced arguements with AI doesnt happen. A lot of the tech is currently being used as the next tech bubble yes, but it already has found legitimate and powerful use outside that as well. My luddite comment is more of a response to whenever I bring up its legit use I get comments like “Enjoy your tendies bootlicker” Luddites were a group that became synonymous with being left behind by technology because they went and burned down lace making factories during the advent of machines that could mass produce lace, and as such they are a VERY accurate comparison to the fuckers saying everything ai makes is garbage and theft.
You dont have to wait years to see its actual use cases, AI gen is a powerful tool for people to access creative freedom who had previously been gatekeeped by skill levels, and I have English as a Second Language coworkers that tell me that ChatGPT has helped them practice their english conversation skills in private like no other program has before, and have heard a lot of talk from programmers that it has greatly sped up their coding workflow.
Edit: This is why I’ve gone back to just laughing at the idiots angry they’re being left behind, any time I actually address any non made up concerns, people just downvote and verbally throw their own feces like the dumb monkeys that they are
I’m gonna need context on why you quoted that. Are you amplifying it? Or are you mocking it? There’s no info to guess tone and meaning on
Edit: Or downvote me I guess, that gives context too
2nd Edit: Whoever responded to me, I’ve already deemed your opinion worthless due to earlier comments and cannot see what you’ve said because I blocked you, I can only see “1 more reply ->”.
I’d say have a nice day, but I probably wouldnt mean it
Because it can only do that through theft of intellectual property. Also, just because you like using something that will obviously and quickly be used to tighten the shackles around your ankles, doesn’t mean that others have to enjoy their chains or lick boots.

Yeah no.
Most of it is not open source, not available unless you sign your soul away to tech companies
Also this is not about being left behind, this is about crappy software being abused to yet again mine your data.
Stable Diffusion is completely open source, and none of you make the distinction on WHICH AI art you shit on, so nah, cant hide behind that
All of it’s garbage.

I think that the problem you’re facing is that while you’re right about potential benefits of AI, you seem to completely ignore the downsides
