As someone who uses generative AI, I don’t use it out of some mindless obedience to corporations, but rather because it can massively reduce the work needed to perform certain tasks.
I think the fight against AI is a losing battle. Better to push for regulations in energy usage. (And no, I don’t give a fuck about artists’ intellectual property. I think intellectual property rights are holding humanity back in order to enrich a few artists who falsely and arrogantly believe themselves to be original thinkers, and who furthermore believe that being an original thinker gives them the right to prevent other people from spreading their ideas or thinking of the same thing.)
I use it for fun to make character pictures and world maps. And I’m going to keep using it. Every time I see a fan get attacked by a community because they made something like a fake magic card with AI I lose a little more respect for anti AI people. They’ve lost the plot. They can’t help themselves. It’s a knee jerk reaction. I saw a kid cosplay as a version of Ellie from The Last of Us that was INSPIRED by an AI picture of the character and moderators had to lock the post because of the AI hate. This was a real person who did a real cosplay and they attacked her, viscerally.
I feel like all the people out there are mindless NPCs that just do anything a big corp say it’s cool. make me feel helpless

I’m done with anti-AI people.
