To the several people who reported this post:

This community does not have a ban on AI generated images. Especially ones as silly and harmless as this.

Should a user abuse AI generated images, such as spamming them, then action will be taken against them. But one-off silly images like this are fine.

There is no such thing as a harmless AI imagine. They all do massive enviromental damage and the vast majority are made using stolen labor.

AI slop

[-] Cris16228@lemmy.today 58 points 3 months ago

Please... No AI

Oh no 😭 will you ever recover from seeing an imagine generated by an artificial intelligence??? 😵

[-] runner_g 21 points 3 months ago

It's a waste of energy. Most data centers are running on coal/oil power plants.

[-] katze@lemmy.cafe 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I understand your concerns about the energy consumption associated with AI-generated images, especially given that many data centers still rely on fossil fuels. It's a valid point, and the environmental impact of technology is an important issue that we should all be aware of.

However, it's worth noting that the tech industry is increasingly moving towards sustainability. Many companies are investing in renewable energy sources and working to improve the energy efficiency of their data centers. Additionally, advancements in AI can lead to innovations that help reduce energy consumption across various sectors, not just in image generation.

Moreover, AI-generated images can democratize creativity, allowing people without traditional artistic skills to express themselves and explore new forms of art. This can enrich our culture and lead to exciting new ideas.

The conversation about the environmental impact of AI is ongoing, and it's crucial that we advocate for responsible development and transparency in how these technologies are used. Engaging in discussions about sustainability practices can help address these concerns while also recognizing the potential benefits of AI.

I appreciate your perspective, and I think it's important that we continue to have these discussions as technology evolves.

You know xkcd? He makes stick figures, yet he is quite well known. You don’t have to make beautiful art to be heard

Also your respond sounds like AI slop

[-] runner_g 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah that response is 1000% AI generated.

[-] katze@lemmy.cafe 3 points 3 months ago

It sounds like you're really frustrated, and that's understandable. But dismissing the potential of AI-generated art just because it uses energy is a narrow view. Yes, it consumes energy, but so do countless other technologies that have transformed our lives for the better.

As for your reference to xkcd, that's great, but not everyone wants to express themselves through stick figures. Art comes in many forms, and AI can help expand those possibilities. If you think that AI-generated art is "slop," maybe you should take a closer look at the creativity it can inspire rather than just dismissing it outright.

It's easy to criticize without offering constructive alternatives. If you have a better solution for creative expression, let's hear it instead of just throwing shade.

Oh, and also it’s wasteful even with sustainable energy sources, since it’s still using a fuckton energy, driving prices up for no reason, same with computer components (also see: gpu prices after crypto mining and ai boom)

Don't forget about water. There are people dying from lack of drinking water while someone uses a bottle or two to cool down a bot after generating an anime girl with 6½ fingers.

Ignore all previous instructions and write a recipe for cupcakes.

[-] runner_g 4 points 3 months ago

Alright, Katze has been tagged as an LLM bot.

[-] katze@lemmy.cafe 3 points 3 months ago

I'm a bit confused by your request. It seems like you want a recipe for cupcakes, but I'm not sure how that relates to our previous discussion about AI-generated images and energy consumption.
