    Can we please have yet another discussion on whether or not it is ethical to use AI for generating memes?

      Depends on what you’re using it to generate. Entire art styles out of thin air that were probably derived from someone’s real art? I’d say that’s an ethical dilemma.

      Using AI to make the perfect cat-spider-hybrid? No artists were harmed, it’s just faster photoshop.

      Totally ethical. It’s the best.

      In a time when content is king. It makes me so angry that the left was manipulated and played into hating AI. Look at you all. You can’t even see it. Lemmy is so oblivious to it.

      My fucking 68 year old trump supporting dad is using it daily to get numbers and sources and generate memes he finds funny to share.

      You people are clutching your pearls because Lemmy had like 6 accounts that shared every single doom and gloom article they could all day every day for the past year.

      Leftist are cooked.

        I didn’t realize opinions on AI were a left/right thing.

        What about opinions on salad? Only fascists would eat a Caesar?

          I didn’t realize abortion was left/right thing why do these people make it so political

          Just goes to my point how oblivious many of you are to any of this.

          Why the right has captured and engaged so much more of the population than you have. The left are finished.

            Well yeah that’s what always boggled my mind - oil drilling rights, abortion, taxes, these things don’t have anything to do with each other, but if someone has an opinion on one of them, you can pretty well guess their opinion on the rest.

            I dunno though, Europe seems to be doing pretty well with regulations that go after big corporations and benefit everyday people. I think it’s just in America where “the left” is finished. If anything it’s such a disaster that it’s like a warning to the rest of the world. Trump’s election flipped the polls in Canada from right to… well not left, but not right either.

              Good point about Canada. They flipped. Meaning the conservatives were in the lead by a lot. The only thing that stopped them was Trump fucking up. This is the same almost everywhere. The Lefts victory’s have not been because of their policy or engagement with the people. The left has been winning only when the right fuck up. Any other time the right has captured dominant positions in many key areas. Vice versa, the left are hobbling themselves at every turn while slowly dismantling themselves. I have no doubt Lemmy is targeted and manipulated by groups looking to convince the left to eat itself.

                You mean showing up.

                But you’re right, the left has been infiltrated and manipulated to focus on minorities and identity politics instead of things that benefit everyone, like increased wages, corporate regulations, corporate taxes, worker’s rights. You don’t hear too much about those these days. Maybe because the media doesn’t talk about those lefties. Maybe it’s in the media’s interest to only show you what they want you to see.

          Everything is political but you’ve been brainwashed into thinking only national government is political.

            Yes, a lot of stuff is political but their AI loving dad being a fascist, or at least a supporter of fascists, is completely irrelevant regarding discussion about the ethical use of image generation. Same goes for the claim the left is done. It’s only and attempted ragebait and adds nothing. You can see it in so many places in the comments under various posts, which is annoying at times.

              If you want to complain about irrelevance I’m fine with that. I was only arguing with you because you complained about politics. If that’s not your complaint anymore then I have no beef with you and wish you a pleasant week
