Really? Honestly it’s the most innocent use if you’re not the kind of person to get hooked on them
Image AI: Fuck you
I get why people have this harsh stance, but without my locally-hosted AI doing concept work for me then my avatar as you see it here wouldn’t exist nor would an artist be considerably more wealthy than they were before I commissioned them. I get that I’m in the minority by a wide margin, but people like me exist in decent amounts too
Commercial AI in general: And fuck you, I’m out!
Yeah, commercial AI is the problem. I cannot begin to understand being upset at someone running it locally and not for profit though, which happens a lot
I agree, locally hosted AI tools for image or text generation don’t use lots of power, only do what a user wants and not what a corp wants, and are a valid hobby or working tool. It’s sad that so many people are blinded by their hate towards corporate AI and don’t differentiate.
I am a terrible artist, but if i need a quick picture for a presentation or just a new desktop background, i sure as shit would never commission something but would just go without if there’s nothing with a CC license that fits. Today i have the possibility to get exactly what i want, and not one byte gets transferred outside of my home network, There is no lost sale for any artists, and i still have something that is aesthetically pleasing.
Same with chatbots - i mainly use them as a quick reference for commands when i don’t want to read 15 screens worth of man pages or when i am again stuck creating a RegEx.
