    This idea would have been a super easy Photoshop and would have looked way less shit than this beige AI wank

    Burning through a shitload of trees just to create a forgettable meme is not praxis

    I don't know where people get the idea that a single generated image wiped out a damn rain forest. Sure what Meta, Google, X, etc are doing is indeed wrecking the planet.

    Some guy running stable diffusion in their bedroom is not the problem here. It's like if I chastised you for contributing to the slave trade because you own a cell phone.

    I’ve also seen this sentiment quite a bit. I don’t think the users who have a query or two a day are really the issue. It’s the people who treat it like an infinite response machine and have multi-hour conversations with multiple image generations that are really the ones causing the problem.

    And that’s probably the majority of users since they were told it’s a problem-solving magic machine.

    Given how little effort was spent on this meme, I'm 99% sure whoever created it would not have put in the minimum effort required to install stable diffusion locally.

    This will 100% be something out of one of the big commercial models, and given no evidence of a desire to Photoshop, they probably generated a number of images before they settled on this one. This one that's only remotely memorable to me because we're having this conversation about it, so probably would have been better off not existing.

    Eric Carle, the illustrator behind the very hungry caterpillar, was pretty damn rich. The latter half of his career saw him basically running a shrewd Spaceballs Merchandising playbook, but with caterpillars.
