Hello! This will be the first of our weekly discussions. This thread will be pinned in the local timeline all week long and I hope that everyone feels encouraged to voice their opinion.
This thread will be locked after a week. Make sure to join the discussion in time!
This weeks topic is: AI “art” and its impact on the furry fandom and artists.
Here are some guideline questions that you can use:
- What are your opinions on AI generated text and images?
- Should furry spaces allow AI generated images?
- What do you think are the use cases for these tools?
- What long-term impact do you believe it will have on the fandom and the fandom’s artists?
Hey, just trying to calm your anxiety. There will always be people like us fighting big corporation with open source. Here a list of all open language models as an example.
Join the fight, always recommend people oss alternatives, use these alternatives yourself, contribute to them. Use Firefox instead everything else that is Google based an so on.
Instead of turning away I would recommend you to play around with self-hosted variants, like this for text and this for images. Know your enemy ;). This is what helped me, since I had a similar reaction as you in the beginning.
