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.
Okay fair enough.
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 if people use a self-hosted model on their own GPU that’s really their prerogative how they choose to use their GPU and the energy it uses.
Ehhh I don’t like AI but high quality shitposts are like the best use of AI imo. I guess it depends on the effort
Like for example this unironically goes hard: https://youtu.be/B05KyAyAa4k
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.
I’m not gonna go learn how to draw well just so I can shitpost.
Who said you need to draw well to shitpost??
^ still better than AI
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,
“square hole”
That’s right!

That’s not the only meme it’s referencing, OP.
DRRR DRRR
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.
Someone made a better version back in 2021 as well.
This is a million times better than that Ai 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.
Then why are you on Lemmy’s leading AI friendly instance created by the guy who makes the AIhorde? Seems kind of like a conflict of interest…
I don’t filter by instance. I get everything. Also, it doesn’t change my point.
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
childrenartists”.You should write more.
Great argument.
Agreed, but it’s all downhill from here. When AI generated content is completely indistinguishable from human, things will
This is far side for millennials and i like it lol
Edit: Oh god it’s AI trash. Sad
Report it and hopefully they’ll take it down.
How can you even tell?
It’s bland and the shapes aren’t all equal squares from some direction. Some of them are rectangles from their ‘square’ direction.
Not so “soulless” if you initially found it funny… 😼
It steals the art of real artists to generate its images.
So yeah it steals and projects their soul too.
It’s gross and its creator should have to pay every artist it stole content from to train their bot.
Piracy isn’t stealing.
