When looking something up, especially technical product information the best answer is still often a reddit link. That will change in the future but it will take time.
Old.reddit is the only way yo access this information without account but i paradoxically cant wait for them to shut it down cause the quicker reddit completely dies the faster other places will become knowledge hubs.
I wont question the creative value of your meme but it would be a misconception to assume its more effort then an ai image just because its an ai image.
Shitposts exists, both with ai an without Thoughtfull artistic expression exists, both with ai and without.
I understand the misconception, you could most certainly enter some vague crap and get a popping result and as long as it gets upvote it will be common.
When I personally make ai art i spend hours on end just tweaking the parameters and prompt to get them to stay in context of my idea. Then let it run a few hours. Analyse those output to “harvest” seeds, then use those seeds and varying amount of tools (including photoshop with drawing tablet) to in a few iterations generate a final image or set.
I wouldn’t compare it to painting or drawing, (most i do with tablet is draw guidelines) but its absolutely a creative process. Like all art, value depends more on the person then the tools used.
If your exposure of ai generated images is exclusively tech demos like the one on bing sure thats what happening.
Its not what’s happening in the art space though, i propose you a challenge to proof the effort.
Install automatic1111 with stable diffusions. (one of the few actual proper ai generating tools, most sites/appa that promise ai generated art use a dumb version of this tool under the hood.
Use it to Create a poster for a classic video game in the style of modern animation without any visible Disney/pixar logos.
Good luck, most people give up before they Get their first proper output.
Thats a fair point. “Ai art” might be a meme but ai art on itself a meme does not make!
It makes sense its posted so much because of the low barrier for entry to make something looks good in a glance. Its excellent for generating fake internet points. But a meme is much more like that, its an evolution of fluid speech and expressive communication.
That making memes is easy isn’t important towards its value but mandatory of we don’t want to go back to the times where written language was exclusive to the upper classes.
Lemmy has in many ways an anti-ai bias against the shortcomings of last years demos, For space supposedly with so many tech oriented progressives that annoys me quite a bit, but i fully agree with you on your stance.
Ai art could be a meme if made into one, but if its not then it should not be in a place for memes.
Thats the bro they get their weed from and regularly invites them together for a sesh. Single handedly keeping the peace in the building. Real guru that one.
But that description also fits many of the stuff i myself put here.
As a far left anarchist i have to disagree with censorship of “dumb and not funny”, though I also respect the will of a collective (lemmy community) to decide what topics they find acceptable in their space, subjective humor and intelligence isnt a good reasons for exclusion (borders discrimination).
Imagine the joke was funny, would it have been acceptable? Obviously in a community for recovering addicts or one exclusively for pictures flowers it would not, but others?
We must be intolerant of the intolerant and only the intolerant otherwise we risk becoming intolerant ourselves.
Sure, an individual forum shouldn’t carry the responsible to protect all human rights on that forum. But as an anarchist i object to the authority of a centralized state so i cant see it their job either.
In my ideals humanity is a collective of people and all of us carry the responsibility to safeguard the wellbeing of all people, as a collective. People who have been at the rejected end of continued intolerance know how damaging it can be for ones health.
Currently i dont know any true safe online spaces for the world most misguided or seriously ill people. So where can these people go? Social isolation is an echo chamber of their own mind.
Lemmy.ml doesnt need a nazi community but as - moral global human collective we should at least maintain lists of resources to help those struggling (with morality). A simple “we dont allow this here but here is a list of resources” ranging from social media to mental heath providers, or better social media monitored by non authoritative mental health providers.
You are doing what you can, as a volunteer no less so that on its own deserves all of my respect. I am fully aware my ideals are idealistic and even radical, i have no belief that i one day may see them true exactly as i imagine them. I will still promote them fully because my rationalize is that by aiming for ideal perfections we can nudge reality as close to it as is possible. Every small step on the way is a huge victory.
When you are king, communism has failed once more.
Wikipedia: A communist society would entail the absence of private property and social classes, and ultimately money and the state (or nation state)
I am all for it but people seem to have a really hard time understanding that any kind of ruling class, be it politicians or monarchs is by definition not a communist society.
Not sure what you’re talking about here. So no i did not hear and feel free to enlighten me about this terminology.
If you where being sarcastic about a Communist King, i did consider that but the people who think russia and china are communist will absolutely misunderstand.
I am not saying that the people who create digital goods don’t deserve a living. they do, all contribution to society is valid and every human deserves a humane life.
I am just morally against economic commoditization of digital goods on the web using the same currency people use to buy food and healthcare. No amount of fortnite skins and adobe licenses can compare to the value of a single small piece of bread for a starving child.
Stock pictures shouldn’t exist, when i was young uploading a picture online meant it was now free for the taking by anyone and there was absolutely no shortage of those. Now it seems whenever you search for something basic like “transparant vector image of a set of stars” all your top results are watermark and require some amount of money or data. These are the kind of images i can easily make in photoshop myself but i didn’t need to because thousands of others already did.
The diverse, creative sites for humans and by humans which used to fill my “online sources” when making school reports have seized to exist and made way for “by t, for profit” models instead.
My ideas are on the opposite side of the spectrum.
The internet and software we have today is already a very low quality, there are ads everywhere which create a sensory hellscape for neurodivergents on the spectrum like me.
The only way i can still use the internet is trough an advanced filter. I cannot use youtube anymore and rely on a script to download from channels automatically. Discord used to be ok but is now stuffed with so much nonsense that is constantly pushed in my face i think of leaving it too. I left reddit for the same reason.
Even color codes are being copyrighted. Photoshop requires a subscription to use pantone colors and files that previously used those colors get altered to no longer use them. Its sick. Enshitification is real and increasing.
The best parts of the web are foss, its what makes lemmy superior to reddit.
There is a really simple but admittedly very radical solution to not needing to destroy anyones livelihood. Its called object the notion that people need to “earn a living” no one is alive by choice, everyone is in the same boat trying to survive. It makes no sense that we owe anyone anything for the privilege of a decent life.
Society wont collapse, there will still be people contributing. I know i will. I love my job, i get to help people with my expertise, the worst part is that my health somehow depends on it.
I remember my dad harvesting different kinds at the beach and frying them. Healthy, nutritious, tasty, the only reason its not a staple seems to be that it may not be profitable.
I’ve heard that most types of seaweed might lightly aid against radiation damage but thats a good point.
From all the school reports the one that stuck to me the most is microplastics. I wasn’t even doing the report, i cant remember what my own subject was but microplastics are truly one of the most awfull consequences of humankind. Makes me sad just thinking about it.
Fools as i carry with me all of human knowledge, right here in this fragile tiny black slab. I can tell you all once you tell me what your wifi password is.
I think there are browser extensions that offer pretty much the same functionality but it is something.
I actually found that for me anonymous search result Just kinda suck. When i type [fastfoodbrand] i want the delivery closest to me, not in California or wherever. When i look for a purchase i want web stores that actually deliver where i live.
As a privacy enthusiast i hate that thats my truth, but the truth it is. But with the downfall of reddit, worsening all Results, most trusted sites being bookmarked and the rise of chatgpt* being just as good if not better then google+reddit. i do find i am way less incline to search the internet at all.
*Be as critical ofIt as much as your supposed to be online with strangers anyway. Its a tool and only as smart as you are able to prompt It.
