I find genAI imagery extremely uncanny and creepy, and I can’t condone the usage of a system whose creators yearn for a day where companies won’t have to pay human creators anymore and can simply funnel their funds directly into the pockets of giant corporations instead.
Additionally, commercial-scale generative AI is already destroying the environment in communities across the world due to its power use.
Also plagiarism: https://spectrum.ieee.org/amp/midjourney-copyright-2666872100
Commercial image generation models are trained on real people’s copyrighted works with no regard for paying them for using said work, putting more money in large corporations’ pockets.
It’s not something I can accept nor condone, and I will continue to shame people for facilitating the transfer of wealth and destruction of our environment.
I thought we could do better on Lemmy than to lean on large, polluting technology companies for content, those same companies who have military deals to create civilian-killing robots.
What an odd car!
