Are you referring to the cartoon version of that “other woman” meme?
Yes, and it's poorly done, too. The "other woman" shouldn't be noticing the guy looking at her.
the guy isnt even looking at her, which is the whole point of the meme too
ai "artists" really are a talented bunch 💀
I don't think anyone says the Ghibli filter is copyright infringement. You can't really copyright an art-style. It's just kinda a dick move.

Ohh, Lemmy support AI slop now, which the software is own and trained by- check note -mega corporation. That didn't take long.
Also there's a sneaky little "Support your local artist" on the crying wojak.
Artist/gamedev here, and AI slop does nothing but saturate our spaces with worthless garbage. Feel free to remix my content in any way you want. My game engine is also open source, you can either just use it as it is, or even use some of its parts for your own. But if you think AI is somehow good, then please don't even touch my content, just ask ChatGPT or watever to make you the same thing based on the same idea I had, but AI.
When I first joined lemmy local AI was pretty popular here. Popular opinion has shifted a lot in the anti-ai direction recently, especially after the recent internet-wide outcry after OpenAI announced that model a few weeks ago. Corporate AI was never liked, but there used to usually be popular comments defending local AI.
It's probably partially because the last notable advancement in local image gen AI was about 8 months ago now IMO (the flux model release). Also, 'open source' ai has become progressively less of a thing, with most models (even ones with released weights that you can run locally) released under restrictive licenses, probably turning away the foss-leaning fediverse population.
I think I have personally realized, since then, that the benefits of from-scratch image generation on society as a whole are almost nonexistent and "it's fun to play with for a few hours" isn't enough really justification for the potential harm to artists.
I really don't have issue with AI, the issue i have is post like these. Real people are getting affect by this AI and losing income due to this, it's real dick move to mock their anger and frustration.
if the soyjak was hugging the shitty ghibli AI slop while complaining about the rest, this would've been 10/10
I am ok with everything in this but fuck AI slop.
Comparing individual piracy with a mega corp making millions of other peoples art style. I see.

Is the top right one of these AI Ghibli images, that I've heard of these last few weeks?
Also, why is Fallout London and Skyblivion on that picture? Bethesda are supporting mods for their games, they don't care that someone makes new stuff. Have they ever blocked one of these mods, like Take2 or Nintendo always do?
Because Bethesda tried to make money off of modders' work, that's why. Bethesda is as cancerous as Nintendo, especially after acquisition when the office "hunger games" started.
It's like charging you 45% after building a house for using their shovel...
That's entirely different case though? They didn't pull the shit with FOL and Skyblivion.
Yet...

Meanwhile we'll just take this mod and make it a gamemode, Charge for ideas used in emulators, charge for emulators.
One of these things is not like the others
Very nice! Now, let's see Paul Allen's straw man...
I look forward to opensource games on an opensource game store that allows devs to get paid. That would be amazing.
That would be nice.

The only reason you would want any less than open source is if you are a greedy fuck.
