Funny how AI is only the Devil if it’s use don’t things or people you don’t like.
Except in this case the AI happens all on your computer, so no privacy leaks, big scale water or air polluting, no stealing from artists their work and livelihood… Just a tool that alleviates time and tedium, as it should be
@Randomgal
The difference is we are not polluting waterways or the air, or making people unemployed, or infringing on artists’ livelihood.
This all happens locally on your own computer.
You realize the only reason it doesn’t happen in your computer is because it already happened by then, right? They trained the model already so your computer doesn’t need all the energy. But the training did happen, and continues to happen, on stolen art, and you benefit from every time they update the software.
Except you actually like this use, so you do the mental gymnastics to pretend it is not the same.
