Wait you think this is a good thing?
You think it’s a good thing that people will be even more unable to express themselves in our capitalist hell scape?
You REALLY don’t see how this will bring on yet more horrors?
Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities

Quite the opposite. AI allows people to express themselves in interesting ways. There are communities of people online sharing beautiful images and videos they created with Stable Diffusion. Why is that bad?

That isn’t bad. But you are incredibly naive if you think that’s where this will stay in this hell world of ours, if you think it will simply be a nice tool to allow greater access to creative expression

It cuts out the middlemen, which is usually good. People don’t need to pay an artist to make something, they can just make one themselves using AI.

Exactly the type of fucking idiot that’s never created art in their life.
“Art is paintings of horses”-ass motherfucker.
The reason you can’t make art isn’t because you’re bad at drawing or painting and need AI to help you, it’s because you don’t have the creativity to overcome those limitations. No matter what words you put into stable diffusion, you will only create pictures, not art - there’s no meaning underlying the piece, you just typed “t-rex with massive tits” and called the output art because you can’t tell the difference.

its not even that they don’t have the creativity - its that people have been so poisoned by commodity capitalism that they feel like their art ‘doesn’t count’ unless it looks like ‘real art’ that can make money
people are so isolated from the creative process that they think they can dump it entirely, as if all it is is just knowing how to scribble on a page

Well people like what comes out of Stable Diffusion. Which is perfectly fine.

its more like the pizza shop complaining that you’re cooking frozen pizza and calling yourself a chef
all power to you if you want to just consume slop, but dont complain when you turn around years later and the quality of everything across the board has gone even further to shit cos you were so happy you could type in words and see anything you wanted for all the 15 minutes of dopamine it gave you

Artist incomes are threatened by the rise of Generative models. Especially mediocre artists who Stable Diffusion have already surpassed.
Technology changes the world and obsoletes some professions. It has been like this for ever. Artists are not any different.
