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!
“This community should be about inclusion and kindness” - as you tell us our banner sucks and whoever made it. You can spot a .world user a mile away. -edit: and you joined two hours ago?
Well, you didn’t even make it or anyone, an AI made it. Kindness towards artists and not kindness towards people using their art without consent.
If you want to get philosophical, all art is plagiarism, derived from the inspiration of others.
Meta gets to pirate books to train on and I don’t? That’s bull honkey
“whoever made it” oh nooooo, I’m sure the AI is super offended.
I’m with you. It’s akin to walking into a bar, seeing everyone peacefully drinking, and yelling that they’re all assholes because the beer they’re drinking Budweiser instead of something more ethical.
Like you aren’t wrong, but who the hell are you to barge in and complain without even bothering to settle in? Can’t just hang out for a bit, get to know us first, then bring it up later? It had to be the first thing we hear from you?
No, to me that’s incredibly rude, and if it was my bad I’d say there’s the door, go find one you like more.
