Hate ai companies, not the technology. openai, midjourney, et all, should all be sued into the ground for the massive scale theft of intellectual property and other harm they've done to artists and other creatives.

however

there are actual good use cases for this technology. Personally, I'm fond of using it to turn my drunken ramblings into coherent notes for later works. This would be totally fine to do, if the ai's that were any good were made ethically and responsibly.

Step 1: Make an anti-AI post on Lemmy.
Step 2: Profit.

If only you could profit from it

Those up arrows are worth more than gold

[–] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 14 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Once I made an elaborate anti-AI post that looks like pro-AI one if you fail to read it; got heavily downvoted, ignored and banned. That was worth more than any amount of up arrows. Pure bliss.

You expected people to read? On the internet?

Yeah, that's a mistake.

2 paragraph comment?! TL;DR?

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Made a comment saying a meme is probably AI slop. Got heavily downvoted because it was a 'known' meme template, even had some guys calling me a 'whiteknight' and 'AI paranoid'. Edited the post and told people to look at the woman's face in the meme, it was all deformed. Downvotes became upvotes, upvotes became downvotes, felt better than sex.

If you could profit from it, Lemmy would be a hell hole in an instant. I'm happy that "karma" doesn't even really matter here at all.

You give me a great idea! I will create a lemmy instance with ai-powered upvotes running in a blockchain so that people can profit from it /s

It's a whole personality to dislike AI.

The no ai club with just 3 people is so real, unfortunately...

[–] JelleWho@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I live this series. Is there anywhere a collection where I can see them all?

[–] crater2150@feddit.org 30 points 2 days ago

The artist David Revoy has a home page with all of them: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/webcomics/miniFantasyTheater.html

You can also find Pepper & Carrot there, a comic with a larger format and longer episodes.

He uses only open source software and also publishes the Krita source files for every comic.

[–] cannedtuna@piefed.world 14 points 2 days ago

Here’s the artists Mastadon where he posts them. Not sure if he’s got a website with them all or not.

Wholesome ❤️

David Revoy is a planetary treasure.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

If only it were “super easy” when it’s being shoved down our throat by pretty much every company on the planet…

[–] LucidNightmare@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 days ago

I really enjoy this art style. Thanks for sharing these!

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 9 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Microwaves were the future of cooking. Look at how that turned out.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 25 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

I think a lot of people in the west are kind of sleeping on the capabilities of microwaves. They’re fantastic.

That’s not an endorsement of AI.

The science was sound and built on a reliable use of electricity for output that people tried to get clever with but eventually settled into a more casual relationship with instead of expecting anything amazing from?

I mean honestly yeah probably will end up similar to microwaves where local running versions that people operating it are ok with lower quality will use, use it and its considered gross for professional setups.

Good comparison.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 days ago

Literally everyone has a microwave though

Lots of professional kitchens use Chef Mike.
