I don’t hate AI itself, but the amount of AI slop ruining the internet gives me a negative feeling about it whenever I see it. I used to enjoy fucking around with the early pre-2021 GANs, diffusion models and GPT3 playground before ChatGPT was around and actually liked the crazy dreamlike nonsense they made, but now it all feels like dead soulless crap getting used to replace humans. Probably going to get super downvoted for admitting to ever liking AI image gens lmao
I liked it when it first hit the scene and still like things about it (more specifically, the potential it could have if implemented correctly), but my distaste for it started when I learned how terrible it is for the earth and which people seem to be the leading the charge with it.
I liked playing with image generators for like a month before learning of these things. Hardly knew thee…
