A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI bros aren't logical, they'd rather put in no effort to have a machine barf out crap then claim they made it.
Thing is, as someone who has fooled around with locally hosted image gen, it's actually sometimes a whole fucking lot of work to try and bend prompts to get the stupid algorithm to spit out what you want. They'd rather put in a shit tonne of effort for an objectively worse result.
That is also my thought. If you want to make AI generated content, which is going to cost the environment a ton (40 phone charges per prompt, people) and do prompt after prompt after prompt - then WHY would you waste all that time and pollution on a fucking gag comic that you could draw yourself in five minutes?
To me, that is peak retardation when it comes to AI fanboys. At least use that time and pollution on something worthwhile.
