You can go fuck yourself dude, trans women are women. For all social and identity purposes they are female.

Just an image I found of a mushroom person thing, thought it looked cool.

This person is is a grade A first class loser who just goes around harassing people and making bad faith accusations, this is his third account banned for the same crap.

I see, thank you for responding.

@[email protected] I'm curious how true is this if you don't mind me asking.

3.) An insane amount of electricity and water are burned to get that image.

Just to address this piece this is only true for large corporate models, smaller self-hosted open-source models can run on a single GPU. I hear people arguing this like it's something universal across the board for any AI system, but it isn't really

You sound like a troll, for the record I didn't distinguish between large companies, I said that pro-copyright sentiment and anti-piracy arguments of any kind are modern "think of the children" arguments. All pro-copyright sentiment, no discrimination here. The fact that you're trying to put words in my mouth proves you aren't and never were arguing in good faith.

Yes banning people for votes, fraudulent, excessive, or made seeminly in bad faith is a thing. Mods can view votes these days but also admins have been able to view them for a long time.

I'm only describing it as moral panic because in the vast majority of the argument people have talking about copyright and "Art theft" they are framing their position as a moral high ground. I really don't think there is one either. People are going to do what they do. They can use freely available creative commons materials, or they can pirate the good stuff. One isn't better than the others.

Ultimately when it comes to an AI like OpenAI, I couldn't care less if they source and license the data responsibly, use Free to use material, or engage in piracy. They can fuck themselves any way they do it. Because an AI company like that is going to screw us over in the long run. No matter how nice they play.

Your argument about pirating indie music or games does seem to be a common one, and I would agree if it weren't for one big part. Most pirates do buy when they can. I certainly do. There are things I pirate I would never buy and there are even things I would never pirate. But games I pirated and liked, especially indie games I've bought. Music and Art is a trickier subject because people these days mostly stream and view online, though if we're going to compare to art commission I would argue that a person who would commission a piece of art would probably still do it, but on the flip side someone who wouldn't, just wouldn't. Regardless if AI is available to do it or not.

Spoken like someone who hasn’t created art great enough that they want their name on it.

Willing to bet that you along with the majority of the morally outraged people on this subject who are whining haven't either. They're usually at it for the same reasons people who whine about piracy do what they do and simp for IP holders, because they've seen others do it.

So who are these people crediting when the image they asked to be generated is using art that isn’t credited?

They aren't crediting anyone or taking credit, same as pirating content. Just like how we don't go out of our way to give credit to the people who pirated the content or the people who made the film.

copys identifiable techniques and prose.

I am not going to even indulge the idea of this of owning style or technique, I've seen some really toxic ideas around trying to own style, traits, or even a fictional species and this is downright petty, and one of the most extreme forms of gatekeeping in that space yet. It's also so low that it's not even protected by copyright but even if it were I'd respect it less than I do more concrete forms of intellectual property (which I don't respect either).

Hating all AI universally is a bit silly though, especially models like AlphaFold, which have saved lots of lives with the work it and its creators have done.

I'm glad we're in agreement about this. I don't like corporate AI like openAI or Anthropic because they are corporate monsters who only desire money and power, and who ultimately will screw us over in the end.

I don't agree entirely though with the idea about copyright respect and all that jazz as I'm a pirate through and through and pirating training data to train a local AI is no different to me than pirating movies, TV, or Music. I don't have a lot of sympathy for pro-copyright sentiment due to the fact that it's really fake ownership of physical ideas, and gatekeeping who can access them. Copyrights aren't owned the way you can own pants, piracy doesn't steal from you and I refuse to call copyright piracy theft.

AIs really should be open-source and self-hostable, if the Replika incident taught me anything it's that something like this should be in your control, they will screw you over for money otherwise. Whether you get permission or pirate the material is really up to you honestly.
