In my opinion, AI just feels like the logical next step for capitalist exploitation and destruction of culture. Generative AI is (in most cases) just a fancy way for cooperations to steal art on a scale, that hasn’t been possible before. And then they use AI to fill the internet with slop and misinformation and actual artists are getting fired from their jobs, because the company replaces them with an AI, that was trained on their original art. Because of these reasons and some others, it just feels wrong to me, to be using AI in such a manner, when this community should be about inclusion and kindness. Wouldn’t it be much cooler, if we commissioned an actual artist for the banner or find a nice existing artwork (where the licence fits, of course)? I would love to hear your thoughts!
Global fresh water demand will exceed supply by 40% by 2030
AI’s projected water usage could hit 6.6 billion m³ by 2027
Drought and famine are going to kill billions in this century.
The artist you would have paid would have consumed more water than a query
I wouldn’t have paid an artist to make my furry porn fetish video tho’
Who do you think makes it then? God?
It was a glib joke that I wouldn’t have paid a creator to make $someRandomContentThatIWpuldntHaveSoughtOutAnyway. Honestly don’t care for AI art on aesthetic or ethical grounds tbqh, just a throwaway comment on the internet.
I wonder how many people died because someone generated a silly banner.
Some people probably think that thousands will die because of that, while deciding to which exotic country they will travel by plane next month.
The whole crusade just seems so out of proportion
Ah, whataboutism, how refreshing.
A cool glass of ‘this is no worse than that’, with a little ice cube that represents the stability of our ecosystems. Very cool, very mindful
X being bad is no argument against doing something (even a little) about a different bad thing Y. Fuck excessive flight travel and fuck generative AI. There’s no need to only pick one thing to hate.
Yep very true. I actually intended my comment as an agreement but I guess something got lost in translation, lol
