100%, which is why the fault lies with the bad actors and the platforms that let this proliferate and not the tool itself.
Can you imagine this headline but with Photoshop instead of AI? It would be utterly silly.
This is orchestrated to create anger against AI. There’s a lot of money involved in it and that money triples if consumers aren’t allowed to run and distribute models on their own PC.
I can agree with you on principal. Just as long as you aren’t distributing things like this I don’t really see an issue. Not the tool, the distributor / platform. I also agree that these articles are meant to ensure that those technology can be held behind locked doors. I fully support the idea of making AI something that is self-hostable.
That being said there are people in this thread that see nothing wrong with distributing lewd pictures of real people (drawn, ai generated, or even hacked and stolen). That is the only thing that I was addressing.
Ya I agree, there’s a very ugly side of things and It’s a shame certain people are rolling themselves in it.
There’s also the fact that lewds of celebs and similar material will grow exponentially but the same is also true for all other media so hopefully it balances itself out.
I think that’s the main problem with a lot of these articles, they are missing the forest for the trees so to speak. We are looking at an explosion of culture, the bad stuff is just along for the ride. I’m personally excited for it.
