In my opinion, AI just feels like the logical next step for capitalist exploitation and destruction of culture. Generative AI is (in most cases) just a fancy way for cooperations to steal art on a scale, that hasn’t been possible before. And then they use AI to fill the internet with slop and misinformation and actual artists are getting fired from their jobs, because the company replaces them with an AI, that was trained on their original art. Because of these reasons and some others, it just feels wrong to me, to be using AI in such a manner, when this community should be about inclusion and kindness. Wouldn’t it be much cooler, if we commissioned an actual artist for the banner or find a nice existing artwork (where the licence fits, of course)? I would love to hear your thoughts!
These kind of posts always have the feeling of UFO or cryptid people dissecting a grainy 3 second clip of video and coming to the conclusion that Bigfooted Aliens exist.
They already have their conclusion before they even start.

“It’s not AI, also even if it is (and honestly why are you looking at something critically for more than 3 seconds to even determine this, you should just let the slop wash over you in perpetuity and never think about it) then it is good actually and the people criticizing it are just cranks”
