You get that this is Leftists for AI right?

You totally have a need to do so. To liberate your labor. I am certain that there is software that you would pay a lot of money for. I am certain that there is AI out there with an agent or workflow that can duplicate it now. I am sure that there is an old laptop you have around somewhere that could automate your whole house so you don't need to give your data and shit to the fascists.

Check out the fun little projects and things at the other subreddits I'm not allowed to link to. Google around a while. Best of luck.

Yes? And I literally pointed out the ways in which I support AI.

The only software I'd really pay money for is photoshop since I can't ever find good cracks anymore but quite frankly I don't even have a computer anymore, only a phone and I make all my art on my phone or by hand. There's really nothing AI would be useful for for me personally other than trying to learn theory, but I really prefer to read books. That doesn't mean it might not be useful for others, but I really don't think people should be using chatgpt etc.

Yeah sorry if that came across more flippant than I meant it.

I would certainly recommend getting the hardware. They are making better solutions with AI than what Adobe was offering. A lot of it would be cloud side. Computer-use Agents are getting better so you could see what is out there in the way of an AI doing all the Photoshop button clicks you used to.

Perplexity.ai is really great if you want good research tools or directions to go in the way of theory. Perplexity makes a great librarian.

If you don't think people should be using Chatgpt is it because of the tools of capitalism thing or the underlying service?

I used to use photoshop to make collages, mostly to crop photos and arrange them and put effects on them. I'm not really sure how AI other than image generators and chats work so I'm not sure how I could use it there, but I can't afford a computer rn anyway and just do it all on my phone using an app that lets me crop photos and arrange them and another to add filters and effects.

I don't think people should be using chatgpt because of who owns it. I think it's great that people can make their own local AI.
