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!
It was still trained in a datacenter
Damage is already done and it’s free. They can’t monetize you using it. If anything, downloading it costs them money.
Also some models weren’t trained with an obscene amount of compute, like deepseek, which used one data center for only 3.7 days.
Doesn’t that mean the damage is already done?
Not all of it, but the majority, yes.
