This is like when I download an app for work or other such function and they ask me to rate. RANDOM PEOPLE WOULD GET NO USE OUT OF THIS APP, WHY ARE YOU ASKING IF ID RECOMMEND THIS APP?
With the way our climate is going I think our current level of immigration is training wheels for whats soon to come, so we need to be making houses both to ease our housing crisis, AND meet our ongoing immigration
Yeah at this point I feel like thats only technically possible, as even if the arrest was found to be unlawful, they’ll claim something else you did in defending yourself was illegal afterwards
This thread is centered around an anti trans picture he’s part of. This question is like staring at the sun, going blind, and then asking us to prove that it was the sun that made you suddenly go blind
You mean, like the sun that you can SEE is shining? Fuck man, if you’re trolling, this is high tier. This is riding the line between believable and over the top
Have you ever been to the market part of a fan convention? People sell a shitload of copywrited art there, and no one really cared about that. The fact that you wouldnt be able to use a lot of those things commercially doesnt stop people from buying them.
Edit: Also if you sold that database I wouldnt buy it because I dont give a shit about the images the machine was trained on, I give a shit about the art I ask it to make for me, which it consistently does exactly the way I want. Is commissioning humans illegal now?
Artists burnt out my empathy towards them with their elitism and fear mongering. They arent special in capitalism’s march to take our livelihoods away from us, but they decided to lash out at their own class instead of lashing out at the corporations taking their jobs
Lmao, nice stealth edit asshole. Nowhere did I say elites. By class meant people who work for a living and barely get by, those who have absolutely ZERO impact on an artists ability to get by. But no, I don t hate art, I love it. I hate elitISM as in the shit you’re pulling by determining what does and doesnt classify as art, and I hate people like you, which a lot of artists are deciding to lean towards in their fear
They’ve decided to brand what the AI does as stealing in order to twist the narrative. It isnt stealing when the images are generated from scratch. And because they are using full manipulative tactics to enhance their fear mongering, they deserve ever bit of fuck you’s they can get
People paying for AI art is a boogyman that is being overplayed to hide the fact that the vast majority of AI art is made by the person who wants it for themselves. This is a new artform that there are new artists whom enjoy using it
Do you think humans create art in a vacuum? They dont, they use all the art they have ever seen or grown up around for inspiration. Do you owe Disney a cut because their movies as a child inspired you to get into art?
Never said my empathy was, just that you arent entitled to it. And cool, keep making art for yourself, and I’ll keep making art for myself. If you stop making your own art because of how I make mine however, I dont really have any sympathy at ALL
Ah yes, elitism and othering. I mean, I’m making this art for myself, so the fact that luddites who paradoxically use the internet are angry with me arnet going to stop me using it (See? I can other too!)
Yep. Maybe look into the supply chains that go into making the computer chips for your phones/computers. Pretty hypocritical of you to judge others for using tech that isnt 100% ethically sourced/founded when you are speaking to them using tech that is also impossible to ethically source and obtain. I specifically avoid using artist style tags in my prompts, and do what I can to lessen the grey in my usage of the tech. What are you doing to lessen the grey in your cellphone/computer usage? How dare you profit off of slave labour just so you can look at cat memes?
LLM’s arent a 1-1 comparison to human learning, but they are the closest we have gotten yet. These programs are capable of learning and storing lessons from previous sets of instructions that are no longer currently being provided. Its not completely ridiculous to compare that to how humans learn
Dude my credit card’s have been maxxed out for the last 3 paychecks and I live alone in a sardine can, but yeah, sure I’m an elite. And btw idiot, Elitist is the word to pull off elitism, not Elite, we dont call people who engage in racism races. I’ve not once brought up elites, being poor or low class does not stop one from being elitist. Fuckin go commission some artists if you care so much about them instead of harrassing AI Artists
Giving you the brainpower to understand what your points equate to is not moving goal posts. The vast majority of AI artists dont think traditional artists aren’t real artists nor do they really care if traditional artists jump on board or not, we are making the art for ourselves likely using completely open source models like Stable Diffusion, so no capitalist is being enriched by us. You arent capable of engaging with people who dont agree with you on your definition of art (or maybe not you but in other arguers point, theft) in good faith, so you attempt to character assassinate us instead
edit: Anyways, I’m tired of your celsius room temperature IQ takes, so in a couple minutes after you’ve read this response, I’ll be blocking you
Well I’ve watched them get made by scratch multiple times, and when I first started making gens I’d reverse google search them to see if they were too close to anything existing previously and they never were, so, I’m gonna need more proof than anyone who’s claimed it was plagiarism has been willing to provide has given so far
I mean, I knew quite a few that would rip art from Pinterest for their dnd characters and games sooooo. I was the friend who by FAR commissioned artists the most for his characters, It’s probably close to 1k now I’ve spent on commissions overall. These people just hear “BUT ITS THEFT” and turn their brain off past that
1: I’ve blocked them as their low quality takes so far weren’t adding anything to my life, so at this point I am no longer interacting with them
2: No one is buying my art, I dont make it to sell, MAYBE I’ll host a shop on Gaia for the online currency for people’s chars once I’ve got my wardrobing set up more efficient, but I’m waiting for more ethically clear systems and the laws around AI to solidify before I’ll engage on the monetary front… IF I engage on the monetary front.
3: Considering I make homes, yeah, theres a good chance some of these people will buy things I’ve created if they live in my region
I mean if the shoe made in a sweatshop fits. Why the hell are you allowed to use things not completely ethically clean and I’m not? AI art isnt dark enough ethically to be killed in its crib, its far less dark than other things we allow in our day to day lives, its just new and scary, and the Art field has a history of labelling new forms of it as not valid

As you can see from your upvote/downvote ratio, most of the vitrol towards communism here is rightly directed at the Tankies, as theres a LOT of them spewing braindead takes that are the weirdest mix of SJW (For lack of a better term for nice sounding but low thinking social takes) and authoritarian… as if authoritarians or violent revolutionaries are ever going to care for any minorities past getting into power.

I was wanting to respond to this, but tbh, you said everything pretty well yourself and I dont really have anything further to contribute other than I agree with a lot of your points here
