    I’m not an anti-AI absolutist, but for environmental reasons we should significantly cut down on the use of AI, especially for unnecessary things such as memes.

      My GPU generates stuff in seconds that would take hours to make, once the model is trained it’s pretty much no energy to use it.

      Totally disagree in free unnecessary short loves things is the most justified if anything. Would you be more hour editing a meme that may or may have not any traction that what it will probably live on the internet? Doesn’t make much sense.

        I mean it’s nice to have high quality shit posts but AI is still the electronic equivalent of coal rolling.

          It’s already been discussed on environmental impact in another comment, but even beyond that, AI does not mean slop. Sure, the majority is low quality slop, but legitimate use of AI is possible. It’s a tool at the end of the day, and imo fully usable within reason. People just really like shitting on AI because they think all of it is slop.

          Take for example the parody music video I sent. For a normal person, getting the budget to create that with real voice actors would probably be around the thousands/tens of thousands. The other alternatives would be voice stitching, which ends up being a distinct style (think tf2 voice chops) or hiring cheap voice actors who will 99% not be able to replicate a character’s voice like that. In short, a creation simply only possible by AI.

          Another one would be the scooby doo ai voice incident. The creator was a normal student, and instead of using text2speech or subtitles, used AI to at least make his animation sound similar to the characters. He still put in effort, it was a good animation, but he was bullied by the original voice actor for the horrible practice of … being too broke to afford an actual voice actor.

          AI does not have to be so black and white. I get the sentiment around hating AI, hell I vehemently hate corporations trying to stuff ai in everything, but not all usage must be considered bad.

          I mean I agree with you if we’re talking about openAI, but not so much if we’re talking about lower end models meant to be self-hosted. In that case it’s not really much different from putting people down for gaming or other GPU heavy operations, and at that point we’re just fully leaning into the carbon footprint propaganda.

          I hope you aren’t going to argue how other people should be allowed to use their own GPUs, that would be very ironic considering your name, @NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io

          How? I don’t get it. I’m not gonna go learn how to draw well just so I can shitpost. I’m not taking an artists job by using GenAI to make a picture of a Cat driving a moped. Using GenAI is not power intensive only training GenAI is and people using or not using it for trash memes isnt going to change if they chose to train another AI model.

              It’s Way worse. I don’t mean just in drawing quality, but is so poorly made that I don’t. Think I’d get it. The square. Does not look like a hole,

    Are we really turning to AI to create a few 3D shapes and a rock wall with a hole in it?

    I get the joke - it’s funny even. But seriously I would rather see a crude stick drawing from someone with no artistic talent than this soulless slop.

      It’s so fucking common these days. I keep seeing it on things I want to like, but I refuse to encourage the behavior.

            I mean you kind of should care since the tagline of the instance is “Be Weird, Download a Car, Generate Art, Screw Copyrights” it’s kind of hypocritical to stay on an instance if you don’t believe in or are aggressively against its principles. Like it wouldn’t make sense for someone to be a member of the piracy instance if they believe that piracy is wrong and intellectual property should be respected, similar thing goes for the AI instance. That might sound like a wrong comparison but the vast majority of anti-AI arguments I hear people barf up are along the lines of “we need to respect copyright” and “stealing intellectual property is wrong” “won’t someone think of the children artists”.

    Edit: Oh god it’s AI trash. Sad
