    A lot of them are like that and that’s actually a good thing.

    It’ll be a little while before people can generate photographs that are indistinguishable from the real thing, completely destroying our ability to critically evaluate anything.

    So we still have time to stop it.

      People can already, one has even won a contest.

      You can use offline image generation tools like Stable Diffusion if you have a powerful enough machine. Also, if someone generates an incoherent image and keeps it, it’s mostly for the sake of it, because you can try generating the image over and over again until something good comes out while tweaking the prompt and the negative prompt.

        Man, my faith in humanity meter keeps dropping and dropping and dropping with every little thing I see on Lemmy today. Can we get some good news, please?

      AI takes production out of the hands of corporations like Disney and into the hands of the people. You need a shit ton of money to hire hundreds of artists.

          What’s the lie?

          Or do you just not know how to set up an open source ai pipeline?

            Not without paying hundreds if not thousands of dollars on overpriced GPUs when I can literally just paint the goddamn thing myself. Or draw it on my tablet.

            You people are the most disgustingly and horrifyingly lazy motherfuckers imaginable. If you don’t like other people that much and want to cut them out of your life so damn much you’d rather use a machine learning algorithm to think and create for you so you don’t have to think for yourself, go live up in the boonies where there are no people. Then you won’t have to think; you can go back to monke just like you want.

              Nah you can run an API endpoint for the time you need, loaded privately, with your own model. Few bucks an hour, scales to zero cost after 15 min inactivity. Very cheap.

              Example is huggingface API endpoints.

              Don’t know why you felt the need to rant afterwards, pretty childish. I just described how the tech is offered.

          You’re like the people who got upset when calculators were first introduced into school systems because it would be detrimental to the way people learn. It’s a tool and those who are educated in their fields will utilize this to be more productive. It will not replace people wholesale.

          I understand your concerns but it is not as evil, clear cut as you imply.

      A lot of unspecified, off the shelf, “amateur” grade tools look like this.

      The pro, specialized stuff is incredibly realistic
