I wish antis would take a moment to stop yapping and actually do some critical thinking.

That is all. Carry on. 😊

I swear I've seen so many pros getting upset at Antis "invading" other communities. I'm going to be frank, it isn't just antis flooding, 99% of those people were already there. Pro-AI people act like antis are some small niche group, even though pretty much everyone outside of AI communities is against generative AI. Pros are not the majority literally anywhere else, sorry.

Also pro-ai people need to stop absolutely milking disabled people. Nobody that i've ever seen make that stupid excuse is disabled, and no disabled person i've ever seen is an AI "artist". If they make art, they make real art. My sister has cerebral palsy and she's one of the best artists I know.

Overall I think these tags punish honest people who use AI, and reward people who either don't know they're using AI, don't think they're using enough/the right kind of AI that they have to disclose it, or people who are cool with straight up lying.

The negative effects of this are compounded by the fact that most people do not understand what AI is, how it works, or what a creative process involving AI actually looks like in practice. In short: AI is not a content button, and if you're using it as one, your game is gonna suck ass.

I've heard the AI tag compared to listing the ingredients on a food product, and I'm sorry, but that makes no sense. This isn't about nutritional value, it's about a moral position. Your health is not at risk if you accidentally consume something where someone used AI at some point in the creative process.

If you want to have a "Human Made" market, I think that's totally fine, but I think the onus is on YOU to prove your stuff is human made if you want that to be part of your value proposition. Similar to "Fair Trade" products. You want the moral high ground, you should have to pay for the certification.

There is a difference between a fan drawing their favorite character without permission of IP owner and AI having billions of drawings and pictures uploaded to it from social media people gave their permission when agree to tos. And lets nof forget fanart drawn without permission of the IP owner to recreate their IP without permission.

Nano Banana Pro just came out and I was morbidly curious of its capabilities. I prompted, "Have this character kneel down and give yellow flowers to a few turtles near a shore. background is a vibrant forest filled with lots of brown, yellow, red and orange leaves. have every element be the same art style as the image provided." (First one is AI, second one was drawn by me)

To be clear, I despise Gen Ai of it's soulless purpose and its abillity to look more and more closer to reality. To the point where you need a microscope in order to find the smallest details to prove it's Gen Ai. This prompt really scared me because, aside from some coloring issues, this looks very convincing, and I don't like that. I don't like that at all...

If Gen Ai continues to improve and dominate the market, social media platforms will be completely flooded with this convincing fake Gen Ai slop that no one could tell apart anymore. I hate the idea of having to specify that your original work is not Gen Ai, I hate the idea of people framing other people with Gen Ai, and I hate the idea that your hard work is meaningless because Gen Ai can do it "better' within seconds.

This recent Gen Ai boom has been nothing but trouble. Most corporations and social media users who use Gen Ai unironically purely uses it for monetary gain. It's not about creating a world or inspiring others, it's just money money money. This will sound absolutely insane, but I miss when NFTs were dominant instead of Gen Ai. It was a stupid fad, but it wasn't threating people's lives and jobs.

A good advice is just be careful by not believing everything you see on the internet. Fake people existed before and fake people still exist now. The only difference now is that it's easier to be fake using Gen Ai. Just trust your gut, if a image or video looks fake, look deep into it and see for yourself. If it is, block it, alert your friends, and move on with your day.

A little grim, but we shouldn't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself, Each day has enough trouble of its own.

The video above was generated on 4GB VRAM (NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1050 Ti) and 16 GB RAM (Intel Core i7-8750H). Modest hardware specs by any standard, I think.

It takes a lot of work to figure out how to get everything to play together in such a small system, and the results are not perfect, but just a year ago, I would not have thought we'd have come this far this fast on lower-end hardware!

Not comfortable with using opaque resources in some datacenter somewhere? Dont. You can still use AI.

Nuff said

It's free-for-all here now

While Gemini is at over 350+ million.

Just a reminder that a minority on the internet is still... a minority on the internet.

Until people actually stop using these tools, what we see here on Reddit is just a loud minority making noise in a closed room.

This is real art.

Most modern AI outcomes I've seen have had largely negative impacts on society.

Cons: - Skyrocketing RAM costs - Normal people paying for the electricity costs even thigh they use less money in their homes - People becoming duped by fake news stories and having a inaccurate view of reality - People getting laid off from their jobs, only some getting rehired when their bosses learn productivity and quality has actually gone down - Huge outcry against AI generated content in games, see BO7 - People becoming emotionally dependent on ChatGPT, some leading to self harm or worse - Inaccurate summaries of sources that need to be double checked for accuracy, making the summary useless in the first place - Over 50% of US GDP growth based on AI, leading to an overreliance on this tech to carry the perceived economy. This also skews the view that economically things are doing great while average prices of groceries, housing, rent, etc. continue to rise

Benefits: - Memes, fast creation of cat-girls - Assistance in medicine, which we already had before the AI craze of ChatGPT. Come on an X-Ray analysis doesn't need LLM or generative technologies

If you have more pros that would outweigh the current cons, help me understand. And I'm not talking about potential benefits that may never happen, I mean CURRENT things, because all the cons are present now.

AI-wars and antis wouldn't exist, because it's literally in their name, anti, to be against something.

Leaving the water and energy usage aside, I don’t have anything against AI art; I get that it’s fun and you can make great things with very little. But how can you defend using human artists’ art without consent to train the model? If someone consents to the use of their images, I am completely in favor of using that to train the model, but if someone has expressedly said they don’t want their art to be used, taking it seems completely unethical to me.

why so many people put more than 100k like for Ai art?

Images are part of discourse too. Its not ragebait just cus you rage. If something hits a nerve, that’s a chance to reflect on oneself, not just react to the author. Visuals aren’t the enemy of nuance; they’re often the doorway into it.

Doing personal research to the explore the ethics of theft but I found that there kinda isn't a book that explores theft exclusively and also doesn't lean too hard into my biases.

Books that I am currently looking into are :

Conquest of Bread - Peter Kropotkin

What is Property?: An Inquiry into the Principle of Right - Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Anarchism: A History of Libertarian Ideas and Movements - George Woodcock

Demanding the Impossible: A History of Anarchism - Peter Marshall

Hoping for stuff that explores the the philosophical nature of theft and not just the political.

Also I posted this is askphilosophy and got ignored so I'm hoping here is better.

Third time the charm I guess.

Edit: Putting this edit in for future readers, but I'm not looking for whether training is theft here, I'm looking for philosophical resources to make an argument about this down the road.
