Bro, every reason you used can be applied to AI, except it’s a lot less monolithic and capitalistic than computers and phones.
Do you understand the dissonance? You take no issue with a whole load of things but if it’s AI, suddenly, you have a plethora of arguments. It’s pure hypocrisy imo.
Your problem isn’t what’s behind it and acting like three companies own all AI is being purposely ignorant in any case. OpenAI doesn’t own image generation.
Windows is owned by corpos and so is the phone you are using currently, ergo everything you do online is pro capitalist. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Hundreds of companies have AI products, a lot of them are completely free to run on your computer. But obviously, I can’t make any kind of distinction, especially when the media is telling me all AI is bad, so I aggressively inquire and demand that all my memes are made on Linux without AI, using a computer built by a commune which cannot be connected to the Internet (all ISPs are a product of capitalism). I then send these memes by pigeon mail.
MS paint is a product of capitalism
Most of you need to get a grip. It’s a tool, OpenAI might serve it as part of their offer but they don’t own it.
This doesn’t even look like what their models output, it’s probably Qwen.
And before you go on a diatribe about the environment, datacenters would be being built next to windfarms if it wasn’t for the oil industry and it’s bribes. AI isn’t the cause of global warming, it’s just a scape goat.
Giving more importance to a foreign state and their genocide instead of her voters is what happened to Kamala. The fact that they are actually trying to push her through again is insane.
Waste energy on pornography
If the dems had catered to voters instead of kneeling in front of a foreign apartheid state and its genocide, Harris would have won.
Politicians can choose what they represent and the platform they put forward. I don’t want to have to vote for genocide so democracy can live again, I want the dems to drop their pro-genocide stance. Blaming voters is the opposite of asking for change.
Since we are in a post election situation, by constantly scape goating voters, you are doing one sided criticism.
Trump helps genocide and he is a bad guy, Biden and Harris help genocide but the voters should have accepted it essentially.
If we refuse to hold the dems accountable for their actions which directly led to Trump winning, they will plot the same course for the next election.
This was the argument I was responding too mostly, I’m not actually saying not to use windows or ms paint, it was an exaggeration to make you understand how your point doesn’t really hold up if you put it in an other context.
The level of granularity you use to judge one tech from an other is very different. For AI, everything gets dumped into one basket and judged by the extremes, everything else is looked at case by case.
We are talking about making memes here, there’s less of a security issue about it than going to the bathroom.
This is the equivalent of saying “You can use a camera to film someone naked without their consent, so don’t ever use a camera for anything whatsoever”.
Imo, it’s just a knee jerk reaction. You see AI and you complain, you don’t actually think about it. You don’t wonder about how any other content you see was made or hold any of it to the same standards.
