Hey there, sometimes I see people say that AI art is stealing real artists' work, but I also saw someone say that AI doesn't steal anything, does anyone know for sure? Also here's a twitter thread by Marxist twitter user 'Professional hog groomer' talking about AI art: https://x.com/bidetmarxman/status/1905354832774324356

Kind of unrelated but if you are to start to learn about AI today, how would you do it regarding helping with programming (generating images too as side objective) ?

Having checking the news for quite sometimes, I see AI is here to stay, not as something super amazing but a useful tool. So i guess it's time to adapt or be left behind.

For programming, I find DeepSeek works pretty well. You can kind of treat it like personalized StackOverflow. If you have a beefy enough machine you can run models locally. For text based LLMs, ollama is the easiest way to run them and you can connect a frontend to it, there even plugins for vscode like continue that can work with a local model. For image generation, stable-diffusion-webui is pretty straight forward, comfyui has a bit of a learning curve, but is far more flexible.
