Yes. Ai art is great. It's a new medium and pretty much every argument against it was made against photography a century ago, and most of them against pre-mixed paints before that. Stop believing the haters who don;t know what it actually is.

oh look, someone who knows nothing about the topic spewing shite again!

Omg word using person uses word that you understood to communicate idea.

Get over yourself, mate

I think you mean:

yes (the environmental angle is a complete distraction and red herring from moving towards more sustainable energy production generally; the ethical one is just plain nonsense spread by people with absolutely no idea how these things work)

yes (people use and like them, people have fun with them and create great art with them. You might not but that's a you problem)

and ... well actually probably no tbh (but that's a problem with capitalism not technology).

Stop making shit up to dismiss new technology because you're a luddite

Because you want to get out of your Stockholm syndrome?

Ugh, I swear vi and it's derivatives are the absolute worse text editors going. There may have been reasons thirty or forty years ago, but now it's just complexity and a weird ui for the sake of it

Again, we need to shift towards renewables. AI is not the problem you're angry with here, stop railing against new technology and new artistic media and start railing against oil companies

And by new I meant "not over a hundred years old", not "over three months old"

Okay, you're a luddite

That's something of a red herring. The source of that energy matters more than how much is used (use renewables where possible) - your ire is directed at entirely the wrong place; and also how much is used in computers and datacentres doing other stuff? If I'm generating pictures I'm not playing games, which is using the same card and probably more constantly.

I gotta congratulate you though, that's an argument that to my knowledge was NOT levelled against photography when that was invented. I mean like all the other arguments it's bollocks but at least it's new! <pretty much every other argument against ai art was levelled at photography and many of therm at pre-mixed paints before that!>

Trying to redefine the word "learn" won;t help your cause either. Stop being a luddite and realise that it is neither useless not wasteful

a technology that is a threat to human creativity

Perhaps the most stupid take on this subject I have seen. Nothing will stop humans creating, definitely not a new creative medium! That's all it is, by the way, a new medium, like photography a hundred and some years ago, or digital painting more recently. Most of the same arguments were made against pre mixed paints - Turner was dragged for using them, for example!

That's not the only thing Hamas have done, there have been a few other incidents over the decades... And the only reason Hamas have not done to Israel what Israel are doing right now is because they don't have enough guns. Honestly I'm just surprised it took Israel this long to do this.

I'm not saying what Israel is doing is right, far from it, I'm saying they're both so far below the level of acceptably decent people!
