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!
Who cares? Who makes a new account just to ask this sort of leading question?
Well, obviusly I care. I joined Lenny today, yes. I joined this sub and was immediately a bit disgusted by the banner. So I made a post about it. Why do you care if I care then?
You care too much over something that is so significantly unimpactful.
So you’re here for less than a day and you’re already judging? First rule of the fediverse, you can go make your own community
how many days until we’re allowed to judge you exactly?

Feel free to go ahead. I think it’s presumptuous to show up on your first day and rather than look around and get a vibe for something, immediately call out things you dislike. Call me old fashioned, but that’s rude.
ok, again you mention the first day. what is the acceptable number of days at which it becomes not presumptuous?
Let’s start at 2 and go from there
damn they were so close
Maybe you should make your own instance and ban anyone asking questions you dont like?
Is this a joke?
