Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Where do artists inspiration come from? Oh yeah, shitty people scraped all the other art.
As we know, this destroys the original art and is stealing to boot. Only the blind and deaf are truly creative.
You know that's not even slightly similar, don't be trying to do "Behold! A man!" this isn't fucking Ancient Greece
Thanks for your opinion, even if it is incorrect.
Wow it must feel so good to "win" every discussion, huh? Who knew that the secret was to just never ever thoughtfully consider what anyone else says and to cling to your argument no matter what.
Because who cares about being right when you can make yourself feel good about the thing you believe, right or wrong? Genius!
What argument? They didn't argue anything. They just said I was wrong. You're a hoot.
You are obviously "good" at arguing. You have made a clear point. I didn't mean for this post to generate arguments .
I'm attempting to educate. There are literally people on here that believe that AI is "a database with auto-complete.". It's so ignorant that it would be funny, if they hadn't organized into an angry mob out to slander anyone who dares use neural networks to boost their productivity.
It's a classic case of ignorance breeding hatred, and the only way to resolve it is for them to understand the technology. Unfortunately most seem unwilling to incorporate understanding into their worldview and cling to misconceptions.
I don't enjoy arguing, I just can't abide misinformation causing derision.
I mean I am not against AI. I pay for ChatGPT plus. My brother and I have gotten rogue type AIs off the dark web and mess around with them locally. I use Gen AI for reference images to look at when I draw. They are also for inspiration. I just feel it is an injustice to artists. If it were somehow possible for Gen AI to credit the sources of its generations, which I don't believe is possible since the training is baked into the AI. That would be advantageous. Regardless, I don't have any real strong opinions for or against it.
I respect you and your opinion, Orc, and I appreciate your presence on Lemmy. You're polite and pragmatic, a very charming combination.
An artist stealing in the way Pablo Picasso argued is not the same as a company using copyrighted material to train its AI. Companies are held to a much higher standard than an individual artist who steals a few elements from other artists to create their own style. Machine's don't have these rights. They must comply with what companies have to comply with. There is no debate.
That's your opinion, Orc. Your opinion does not settle debates.
We can agree to disagree.
Agreed.
