I do think you’re raising valid concerns regarding resource consumption + climate change. However:
youre just trying to justify it.
Learn to phrase things without disingenuously putting words into the others’ mouths dammit. This is not Reddit, behave like a decent person instead of a redditor. Nothing the other user said can be even remotely interpreted as “the energy cost is justified”, in fact they didn’t even talk about resource consumption.
It sure sounds to me like they were trying to justify it. Funny or not, if it hurts everyone so no, it’s not a justified use. Hurting anyone, let alone everyone, just for the lolz is far from acceptable.
Thats in no way “putting words in their mouth”, I was pointing out what they were saying. Their point literally coalesced into “i posted a funny picture and it didn’t hurt anyone” which is factually untrue by participating in driving demand for harmful tech.
I wasnt insulting in any way, I was illustrating how their point fell apart. There is real, quantifiable harm.
No, I will not fuck off. Criticise what people say, instead of your assumptions over what they say. And if you’re unable to tell both things apart, then you’re probably better off shutting up.
And if I see muppets like you doing this shit again I’ll call it out again, again, and again. And if I were to do the same, I also expect others to call me out.
Yeah, because holier than thou behaviour would totally make someone say “if I were to do the same, I also expect others to call me out.”, right? …right?
…look, I don’t really care if you block me or not, but please do everyone else a favour and shut up, okay. There’s Twitter, Reddit and Facebook for people like you, you’d feel at home in any of them.
That they didn’t talk about the resource consumption is part of the problem. Discussing whether the output of a genai system is ‘art’ or not is a fine philosophical debate, but ignores both the costs of creating the output, and the way the data to do so was sourced and processed.
If human ‘artists’ burned through the same amount of power, water, and other resources just to produce their art there would also be an outcry. If the raw materials that ‘art’ was created from were so blatently copied from others there would also be an outcry. Indeed, when a human is found to be copying another’s work and passing it off as their own, there is an outcry.

Whatever though
Yes, it is. Learn the difference between what people say and your assumptions on what they say.
That is what they were saying, though.
Then quote where they would have said what they think about the energy cost, or what they were trying to do. Oh wait they didn’t.
Seriously. You’re all being assumers. And you are being an assumer and a liar.
Oh fuck off

You’ve been doing it this whole fucking thread you holier than thou asshat but whatever
