I want to apologize for changing the description without telling people first. After reading arguments about how AI has been so overhyped, I'm not that frightened by it. It's awful that it hallucinates, and that it just spews garbage onto YouTube and Facebook, but it won't completely upend society. I'll have articles abound on AI hype, because they're quite funny, and gives me a sense of ease knowing that, despite blatant lies being easy to tell, it's way harder to fake actual evidence.

I also want to factor in people who think that there's nothing anyone can do. I've come to realize that there might not be a way to attack OpenAI, MidJourney, or Stable Diffusion. These people, which I will call Doomers from an AIHWOS article, are perfectly welcome here. You can certainly come along and read the AI Hype Wall Of Shame, or the diminishing returns of Deep Learning. Maybe one can even become a Mod!

Boosters, or people who heavily use AI and see it as a source of good, ARE NOT ALLOWED HERE! I've seen Boosters dox, threaten, and harass artists over on Reddit and Twitter, and they constantly champion artists losing their jobs. They go against the very purpose of this community. If I hear a comment on here saying that AI is "making things good" or cheering on putting anyone out of a job, and the commenter does not retract their statement, said commenter will be permanently banned. FA&FO.

    I don't understand the glee with taking job from people by stealing their data. Those people deserve better.

    They see artists as snobs and elites. People they can't match up to with their own skills that are freaking out when someone invents a machine that can do art 'better' (faster with less effort regardless of quality) than them.

    That's why they'll always talk about how AI "democratizes art" or "makes art available to the masses", because they see artists who have put a lot of time and effort into their craft not as just highly skilled and well-trained/taught individuals, but as elitists that don't want them to have the same opportunities.

    To them, AI slop becoming more common isn't just a consequence of AI being cheap even if the outputs are garbage, it's 'the market' deciding that artists just aren't valued anymore, and that they're finally taking down the elites that have held art captive for so long.

    When you see it from that perspective, it's no wonder they jump for joy when artists complain about AI and lose their jobs.

    AI bros are so level headed and fair. they're nothing like the bitcoin bros!

    /s

    I'm convinced that people who blindly support AI are the same incel scum that claims to be just a "nice guy".

    some people just need to have their asses kicked.

    Do misanthropes who hate people, their jobs, & AI not have a place here? Why do we need to be pro-people or their jobs?

    Edit: just noticed this post is old.
