One of my favorite AI image apps is promoting Elon Musk today. Have uninstalled and left a 1 star review explaining why. Is there a site or someplace where people are keeping track of all these companies that are supporting the new Nazis?

      I get it. I haven’t even used that app in 3 months or so. (And that was to show some basic examples of my idea to a tattoo artist who was paid to make an original design based off my concept.)

      The reality is that AI isn’t going away. So rather than just give up, I’d rather find alternatives to the people that are the worst of a not so great thing.

      Plus my question isn’t which AI companies support Musk. I’m looking for a list of anyone that is promoting the hate and oppression that is quickly becoming acceptable.

        It’s called having integrity. Just because a thing exists doesn’t mean you have to use it. I can’t do anything to hurt Chick-fil-A, but I can still refuse to eat there in principle. Same applies here.

        The issue with AI isn’t the tool, but the ethics of its creation (and the greed of those trying to put it in anything and everything, but that’s another matter), and this is so often lost in these conversations. Like pro-lifers arguing with women’s rights activists. Two completely different concepts being argued past each other. Your use case is exactly the kind of thing that AI could be great for - if it wasn’t made by stealing the work of others.

        That out of the way, I think you’re going to have to look for lists of campaign donators, shareholders in companies Musk owns, and as somebody else said, those rolling back DEI programs and the like.

        It’ll probably be easier to find lists of which companies oppose the horrors, honestly.
