Good. Fuck everything about Facebook and their advertising empire. Let it burn.

Hmm. On second thought, I’ll fire up A1111 and start making fakes to fuel the fire.

Good is shortsighted. It will be here too eventually. Fuck Facebook, but hopefully we don’t build a weapon that’ll hurt us all, though in fully aware we have and are.

It is already here, half of the article thumbnails are already AI generated.

Yep, Lemmy is littered with AI art just like everywhere else and if people notice they sure aren’t saying anything.

Who’s still using facebook? Oh. Morons. The people least capable of responding well to fake posts.

It’s the normie trap. We made the mistake of letting normies in on our Internet and now we try to contain them on Facebook because they have ruined the Internet.

Too few people realize this is actually the source of all the world’s current problems. We never, ever should have let the normies on here.

They were even worse before the internet, it’s hard to deal with but this isn’t even close to as bad as humanity has been.

It’s kinda strange, the Eternal September was before my time and now we have whole generations of even tech-affine people who never heard of usenet. Which btw just like email pre-dates the internet.

Ah yes, there’s always someone shocked to find that there are actual users of a site that has been growing continuously for 15 years and reports over 3 billion MAU.

Your social circle is not the world.

They are taking an artist work and reproducing it - changed slightly. If you did that to a Disney work (AI or not) would they consider it copyright or fair use?

AI trained on plagiarized art created by real humans who were not compensated for work that AI companies are now making money on.

Aka stealing

Its not plagarism. Its not stealing either. Its training. The only artists who complain about this dont care about making art and are only concerned about making money.

When a robot replaces your job (or perhaps your friends or family) and you/they lose their way of earning money will your argument remain the same?

If AI/robots could give us the utopia from sci-fi books it’d be grand and I’d be inclined to agree with you. But they aren’t, no one is getting early retirement because a robot replaced them in a factory and artists aren’t getting residuals from the derivatives these “trainings” are creating. It’s theft, outright, and the thieves are trying to make money off these originals.

What about the news article about the AI-generated comments about AI-generated images? Surely we can’t stop there.
