"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Meh, I fail to see how taking a copy of a screen cap that someone already copied and changing the text is somehow better than coming up with a completely original idea but not having the artistic ability to pull it off.
The few posts I've done in Gimp are trash. They would have been improved had I used AI. It's not like I drew Musk. Instead I took a screen cap and cut and paste his face over a screen cap of Scarlett O'Hara. AI would have done the screen capture instead of me. There would be no art either way.
I'm pretty on the fence about it but I'm inclined to agree overall. It's not like you were gonna pay an artist to make the meme, would it really that bad if you used AI?
The questionable legality of its training data is mainly what makes me dislike AI images but it's not like people are getting permission to copy non-AI memes
What am I gonna do with all this gate oil without a gate to keep?
