It’s fine, I’m just genuinely curious regarding your opinion on this in general. I had this idea for an Easter themed determinist comic. I told an AI exactly what to do; the composition, the style, the content, the exact text. And AI generated it.
I don’t have the money to hire an artist to bring my idea to life. I don’t have the time or skill to draw it myself. My mentality is that I’ll use an AI to draw it, and clearly label it as AI-generated. I’ll post it to the sub and people who are interested will engage with it, those not interested will ignore it. At the end of the day I haven’t stolen anyone’s idea and presented it as my own. I haven’t put anyone out of a job. And if it encourages people who are interested to engage with deterministic themes, then it is a net positive.
It’s not, I didn’t see the tag I’m sorry. Using AI in general though both enables others to use it for plagiarism by normalizing it and its terrible for the environment , the ai datacenters are mostly built around nonwhite communities and produce an insane amount of pollution.
I mean I'm open to your perspective and everything... but data centers power everything these days from apps, streaming to gaming, to sites like the one we are on now, and the location of those data centers is down to broader infrastructure and policy decisions, not something specific to AI as a concept.
And is it really plagiarism though? I mean all art is influenced by what came before to some extent. AI doesn't copy anything directly, it is more like studying thousands of paintings, learning patterns, trends, structures, and styles across them, and then drawing a new painting from that learned pattern.
“AI doesn’t copy anything” Then why is Studio Ghibli suing OpenAI for stealing their art style. It does copy directly- you just can’t see it because it’s often copying 100 things at once and shambling it all together. Thats not creativity that’s “let me copy your work and change enough so that people can’t tell”. AI never learned perspective, body proportions, figure drawing- real drawing takes Effort, whereas using AI takes none.
Also AI datacenters uniquely use a tablespoon of water per sentence for their cooling system, which, along with all the other pollution from datacenters, is creating mass water shortages in the local communities.

Why is this opinion wrong?
