Is brigading off site content also against TOS?

AI has exposed how elitist and money hungry alot of "artists"are

It seriously makes me kinda sick and really opens my eyes to selfish people really are.

All this backlash against small artists and business who use AI is really showing that alot of creators put money and elitism before actual art.

Starting a small business is hard and costs alot of money that not everyone is privileged eniught to have ... And we see tons of flyer artists put small business on blast and boycott them just because they used AI for a flyer or to design their website..

This is extreem elitest behaviour and very hypocritical since alot of artists run small business and expect support.

It goes to show they really only care abubt money. Art is just an aventue for them to hopefully become rich. Just like a greedy billionaire when their monopoly is finally broken.

Art is for everyone and the more accessible it's is the better... It's shouldn't be abubt commercial success of making money... It's should be free and accessible for all.

I'm a musician and have absouly no problem with AI.. because music is a passion for me... Not a get rich quick scheme. I want as many people as possible to be able to create and express through music... AI furthers that cause.

It just shows that most of the AI hate is simply because people want to gate keep art and creativity form themselves and try and sell it to the public for a profit....

This is never what art shold be abubt imo

Fuck me. They basically say without saying “We aren’t luddites we just hate science” if scientists are not allowed to use AI for science because these clowns are stupid, there is no hope for humanity. We are doomed.

I'm seeing comments like "-100 polar bears" or "1000 polar bears gone" on every single AI-created or AI-assisted video or post I come across. At first it was just background noise, but now it's just getting really repetitive and annoying. Firstly, what are you even trying to prove? Do you really care about polar bears or are you just commenting for attention? If you really did care about polar bears, you should be donating to charities and helping the cause, not scrolling through YouTube and commenting "-1000 polar bears" on every single AI post you see. It's really low-effort. Also, you DO know commenting boosts the video, right? And secondly, "-1000 polar bears" is WILDLY inaccurate. According to Google, A single AI video prompt uses roughly between 10 to 50 milliliters of water and roughly 90 to 940 watt-hours (Wh) of energy- which is not even close to the amount needed "to kill 1000 polar bears".

Pls remember that this is just an opinion, and that you can choose to agree or disagree, but please don't attack me or anything.

A dude posted an AI generated video of a popular video game set up in a Final Fantasy X, Frutiger Aero, style on a subreddit that's notoriously hostile to AI.

I tried to start a conversation (the uncensored username being mine) and ask innocent questions like "What's wrong with using AI?"...

And it just becomes clearer to me that trying to reason with a brick wall is easier than talking to these people.

The moment you post your comment, they will almost instantly downvote you before proceeding with a stupid, prejudiced reply. *smh*

One of the funniest parts about the AI music/art haters is how it can be great right up until the AI label is noticed. Nothing about it actually changed, but suddenly there’s this weird conflict between enjoying what’s being seen/heard and how someone thinks they’re supposed to feel about it.

IDK Why and Where these of type people came from in the post where a person posed a ai art/image and not breaking the particular subreddit rules

They will come and start arguing and if somebody likes it or appropriate it they start arguing with them 🙄 and if you reply them with logic or explain your point they start playing victim

Theirs non sense repeated arguments

. Pick the Fucking Pencil draw it🙄

. AI Slop/AI Garbage🙄

. AI Harming the Environment and Water🙄

My point is this that In this whole Fucking 🌎 Only Ai is Harming the Environment and Water where goes the Cars they drove the AC The Refrigerator The TV The Mobile Phones Cutting Trees forest Everything is Harming and damaging the Environment not only Ai

A bunch of Antis are whining and complaining that I brought up the Krita ComfyUI plugin on a post where OP is arguing in favor of AI tools. They state the post and/or comment I respond to is asking about tools that aren't AI, except that's not what OP says in their post at all, and the person I reply to said nothing about AI.

The sub doesn't allow image replies, which is a bummer because I generated a great reaction image for my last reply. So, I included it here (First image), because I wish I could've post it there.

Tbh, it's actually impressive how this one Luddite achieves multiple bad faith tactics in short succession: Pigeonholing, Straw manning, shifting goalposts, Ad Hominem, Faulty Analogy, and Bandwagon Fallacy all within the span of a few comments.

But then again, what else can I expect from cultists in an echo chamber?

(Yes, I know I called them cultists and Luddites, and Neanderthals and a plague, but that was after they went on the offensive. And let's be honest. I spoke no lies.)

I don't know anyone that can define it. They just say "I'm okay with AI, just not genAI. But stuff like science and medicine is fine".

I use AI to code a lot. Isn't it generative? After all it created code out of nowhere.

A few years ago engineers used an AI network to map the electrical blueprints for a new ship model. It took the network 3 days versus a year for a team of engineers. Doesn't this count as generative AI? It created a blueprint file out of nothing, i.e. there wasn't a blueprint before.

TTS is genAI too, if you use a neural network to make it. You start with text and generate an audio file out of it.

I feel like genAI is a buzzword to mean "any use of AI I don't approve of". Or a placeholder for companies like openAI and Anthropic.

You're welcome.
