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!
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.
