Literally nobody “makes something on their own.” Every artist is dependent on the full body of art they trained their eye on, just as diffusion models are.

Tell me you don’t understand copyright law without saying you don’t understand copyright law.

Don’t post this reasonable, fact-based info too many places - the anti-AI crowd are NOT fans of learning how diffusion models actually work.

“If you cut out the entry level position of an industry that requires skilled labor you kill the industry.”

“Is it generic, bland and otherwise unremarkable?”

So you feel the same way about all collage art? You rail against collage artists online, and talk at length about how they’re destroying the art business, right?

Sure it is, buddy. Even though the same has been said about every new genre of art or music in modern history, this one, this time, will definitely be different. Well-analyzed.

People said this about punk, too - so simple, anyone can thrash a guitar badly, punk will never create anything deep or meaningful.

This is what’s so deranged about so many anti-AI arguments: at some point, you abandon all pretense of logic or honesty. Lensa doesn’t “steal” your selfies - you pay them for the service of voluntarily uploading your selfies for it train on and produce an output.

Stop viewing the world as all or nothing, maybe? The options are not between “human artists only, ban AI” and “AI replaces all human artists.” AI will replace some human tasks, but not all. Exactly like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign did: literally all of them put people out of work, but for some reason none of…

How do we have a “dead music industry”? I find more great new music in a month now than I did in a year twenty years ago. There’s such a huge glut of great, professional music right now that it’s impossible to keep up.

“The average person has ZERO interest in how their car runs and drives”

My suggestion would be that, instead of patronizingly telling other people what they should or should not comment on, you instead post informative comments with actual details to support your point. Since you didn’t do any of that, you come across as a douchebag animated by misogyny. Be better.

Not for a) a console game b) with this many problems. It’s not conceivable that someone could put in hours and hours without noticing the avalanche of problems. The disparity you’re citing between different people’s experiences is MUCH more common for PC games, where everyone’s system is drastically different. There…

Since he’s not running in Florida, that won’t be a problem at all.

What moral precept suggests to you that “don’t touch other people’s property” is the most important calculation here? The idea that personal property rights are more important than public safety is honestly psychotic. Your belief is a prime symptom of a society near collapse.

“Intelligence” doesn’t encompass everything that sapience does. There are plenty of intelligent animals that we don’t ascribe sapience to (notwithstanding potentially sapient animals that we haven’t yet recognized). Sapience is more associated with wisdom than intelligence - intelligence applied across time in order…

Wow, with regard to Thanos: that’s super stupid. Not that Marvel plots have ever made much sense, but that takes the cake.

“Sapience” is the only common one I’m aware of. Becky Chambers, the most inclusive science fiction author I’ve ever read, uses it quite a bit.

In the context of science fiction, sapience usually refers to all self-aware intelligent species / beings, including advanced AI constructs and advanced biological species.
