Lemmy loves artists who have their income threatened by AI because AI can make what they make at a substantially lower cost with an acceptable quality in a fraction of the time.
AI depends on being trained on the artistic works of others, essentially intellectual and artistic property theft, so that you can make an image of a fat anime JD Vance. Calling it plagiarism is a bit far, but it edges so hard that it leaks onto the balls and could cum with a soft breeze.
AI consumes massive amounts of energy, which is supplied through climate hostile means.
AI threatens to take countless office jobs, which are some of the better paying jobs in metropolitan areas where most people can't afford to live.
AI is a party trick, it is not comparable to human or an advanced AI. It is unimaginative and not creative like an actual AI. Calling the current state of AI anything like an advanced AI is like calling paint by numbers the result of artistry. It can rhyme, it can be like, but it can never be original.
I think that about sums it up.
Acceptable quality is a bit of a stretch in many cases... Especially with the hallucinations everywhere in generated text.
Most of that gets solved with an altered prompt or trying again.
That is less of an issue as time goes on. It was just a couple years ago that the number of fingers and limbs were a roll of the dice, now the random words in the background are alien.
AI is getting so much money dumped into it that it is progressing at a very rapid pace. an all AI movie is just around the corner and it will have a style that says AI, but could easily be mistaken with a conventional film production that has a particular style.
Once AI porn gets there, AI has won media.
Eh, I at least partially disagree. I've noticed some of the modern models (such as Claude 4.0) have started to hallucinate more than previous models. I know you're talking about image generation, but still. I can't quite put my finger on it, but maybe it's cause the models are beginning to consume their own slop.

OpenAi May 2025: in their internal tests the newer model the higher hallucination rate.
That's going to be a huge issue indeed because synthetic data contains bias and it's proven that produced biased models.
