as a last note, thank you for being civil. I completely agree with you that these ass hole billionaires not only shouldn't exist but are actively ruining our lives. Never ever use their crap or give them a cent. Use your knowledge and skill to spread information not misinformation. Thank you and sry

I genuinely wish I could talk more about it since you're being civil, but I am extremely unwelcome and uncomfortable in this thread.

If it helps put things in perspective, literally stopping eating red meat alone offsets the environmental impacts of the AI I use, and I do far more than that.

This is a good place to find more accurate information on what it's like to use indie ethical models as an actual eco friendly AI artist: www.reddit.com/r/DefendingA...

eat the rich, fuck the coal, gas, and oil tycoons running our world rn.

please in the future ask for clarity before assuming something. I'll take from this that I should just never assume someone is ready for a real discussion. Please feel free to stay in your bubble.

please just stop, alright? I'm done with people putting words in my mouth. fascists have been doing it to me my whole life and I'm done. I used to be on the other side of this conversation doing exactly what you're doing. I'm not here to help you along, it was stupid of me to reply to your post.

just as a rule, it's not a good idea to assume you're the only disabled person out there, and that the person you're talking too knows nothing about it.

I've had a long day and while I'd love to fully actually get into it, I've literally gotten maybe 4 hours of sleep because of work. I would recommend trying techniques to counter confirmation bias and talk to some individuals that do AI art. Not rich ass hole companies, people making ethical/eco AI.

Man. It really makes me feel like an asshole that I actually used to be like you. Nothing I say will ever change your mind in this conversation, that's how I was. I can only hope you realize someday just how much these talking points you're using mimic fascist ones.

And for the people paralyzed from the neck down? Guess they aren't allowed to make art.

Bonus:

Thank you for reading through all of that. I understand AI art is scary, it's scary for all of us, but we should use it to take down the people ruining our lives, not spread anti-AI propaganda that both halts progress and distracts from the real problem: the rich fascists running tech.

Live Generation
- The AI acts as a working reference, which you can apply parts of as you paint. The workflow for digital artists using this method barely changes, it just makes things like shading, color grading, and some details you may forget faster.

Krita AI Diffusion
- A free open source plugin for the free open source art program: Krita. It allows the user to generate AI images, or more usefully, use the Live Generation feature and paint it in for themselves with minimal hallucinations.
