Boredom? I'm not bored. I'm fucking terrified of the government and the people behind it.
Why do you need images that are so perfect? Why can't you just be fine with doodling?
The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, "If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils." Said Diogenes, "Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.
I wish this sub didn’t allow low-effort meme posts because it’s such a brain rot circle-jerk.
There are plenty of articles that are written out that you can read. AI takes immense energy to operate, for one. It uses a lot of water. Go down and read what journalists have written, and you'll find that there are solid points against AI development that name-calling will not do justice.
The business of a king separates him from the world...
You all need to read up on Marxism and capitalist alienation

Don't worry, we're all here to help you out.

Suburban households and their culture have been a disaster for the human race.
Look, if you're not an artist, instead of looking to a machine, cooperate with someone else. AI image generation is not worth your time. Ask yourself this: What is the point of art? What reason do we have to make pictures at all?
This is not to be smug or to "pwn" you. Legitimately think about this; I'd recommend twenty seconds.
See if any of the reasons given apply to AI art. To me, they don't. Art itself is opposed to Taylorism, so applying Taylorist principles to art doesn't work.
Doodle on the back of a receipt. Just do it.
And share them with your friends. Learn from Lenin, learn from the Vietnamese, learn from Alpaca farms.
It's complicated, and maybe I wrote too soon. I admit that this exact phenomenon and its discussion are very nebulous. But I see that there is talk about the growing loneliness problem in the United States, Japan, Korea, and elsewhere. This is caused by:
