What I find most odd about this is that they don’t consider that people can do it themselves.
If I wanted AI-generated anything, from a video of a duck riding a bike for whatever reason to some weeb shit as a profile picture, I’d just do it myself. Yet these types of people “create” it and then post it everywhere, so it has the worst of both worlds: it is neither exactly what I was looking for, nor is it power efficient, copyright-compliant, or looks any good.
If they have fun making their computer spit out odd stuff, then if we ignore the power draw and copyright issues, sure, do whatever. But why post it as if anyone else cared, when those other people could just have their computers (or, realistically, a big corpo’s computers) make something even closer to what they actually want?
