With all the hate towards J.K Rowling (deserved) and lets say Kanye West for example, you can enjoy the art but can you really separate what they create from what they say?

    It doesn’t operate in a vacuum. It’s a tool. There is an operator of the tool, and it takes skill to get the output desired.

    Thanks for proving my point, though.

        Because it’s a topic about separating creations from the creator. It’s perfectly topical and cromulent.

          You sound like that guy at a party that butts into already going conversations to talk about what you want to talk about, and nobody likes that guy.

            You sound like that bird that sticks their heads in the sand whenever they hear something that scares them.

              My mistake for engaging to begin with, I didn’t realize you were arguing with everyone in this thread. You’re just a troll. Have fun being a dick.

                Debating, not arguing. Not a troll. Engaging in the topic, and you just don’t like to hear views opposed to yours. I only resort to ad hominem attacks when they’re used against me. You started the disrespect in what was otherwise a respectful conversation. It is you who is a dick. I’m sure you’re aware and enjoying it very much.

        Lol. Lmao, even.

        ROFL, perhaps!

        I’ve even tried running models on my local machine just to see what the hype was about. I spent a ton of time watching my GPU spit out things that were…interesting and novel for a bit, but ultimately realized it was just wasting my time with petty novelty, I could NEVER in my right mind attribute my own “skill” to any part of this process.

        My time was better spent going back to struggling learning to draw and continuing to study Blender, even as the prophets of the Ai apocalypse hype machine denounce my futility in persisting to become an accomplished human artist that expresses my soul.

        I want my affordable hardware back! I’d rub that genie lamp and replace GenAi with personal computing and free art classes in a heartbeat!

        Tell me you’ve never purposefully created art using AI without telling me.
