Sexually explicit AI-generated images of Taylor Swift have been circulating on X (formerly Twitter) over the last day in the latest example of the proliferation of AI-generated fake pornography and the challenge of stopping it from spreading.
X’s policies regarding synthetic and manipulated media and nonconsensual nudity both explicitly ban this kind of content from being hosted on the platform.
Is that hatred, or fear, that I hear in this comment?
That’s “suppressing theft masquerading as art is awesome” you hear in that comment.
Ah, it was the third option, ignorance.
Oh, I’m not at all ignorant of how horrible generative " art " is, but I appreciate you checking on me.
If it’s horrible and it’s also “masquerading” as human art, what does that say about human art?
Are you mad at people who can draw or something?
No, I’m just pointing out the common contradiction I see in threads like this, where people argue that AI is both a big threat to “traditional” artists and also that AI is terrible compared to “traditional” artists. It can’t really be both.
The use of “horrible” in their comment isn’t necessarily about the quality of the art. Judging from context it’s probably more about the ethical considerations. So not really a contradiction.
He put quotes around the word “art”, which gives me the opposite impression.
I just notice alot of cheerleaders for this " art " form come from a place of vindictiveness against people with artistic talent and their positions are rooted more in a desire to see people the view as gatekeepers receive comeuppance than an honest defense of an ostensive tool.
It totally can. Take the example of fast food. Simultaneously a threat to traditional cooking and terrible.
And yet there’s still plenty of traditional restaurants.
Fast food provides a new option. It hasn’t destroyed the old. And “terrible” is, once again, in the eye of the beholder - some people like it just fine.
Oh buddy come on you can’t actually be misunderstanding how they used “horrible.” They’re not saying it’s bad quality they’re saying it’s bad morally
You realize how a word like that can have ambiguous meanings, yes?
Misunderstanding doesn’t make the comment into the type of gotcha you think it is
I just wish my printer could actually print a car. 200mm bed is a little small
Break it down into chunks and assemble it like Lego.
Now you’re stealing from LEGO™! 🙀
