But they conveniently leave out that it costs money to do anything with AI. It’s more like “open to anyone with a credit card.” The vast majority of people don’t have computers powerful enough to run generative AI models locally, and even then, server farms with a billion GPUs will always produce better results

This means that people have to rely on corporate platforms where you buy tokens that you use to get pulls at the various AI slop slot machines, hoping you get something decent. The mechanics more closely resemble a gacha game than any kind of artistic process

By contrast, learning how to draw, animate or make 3D models costs nothing. There’s free tutorials and tools everywhere, and you can also just pirate commercial ones if you want

    It’s always sad when I gotta actually block someone from hexbear, but since you are just a larper who doesn’t care about others as soon as you can have the slightest whiff of a treat for yourself, I am not really sad about it.

      ??? comrade if you see this while logged out, i don’t use gen ai to make visual “art”.

      this is only about the misunderstanding that people want to make stuff and can’t because what they want to make is more specific than the head up ass maximum position that anything is art regardless of quality.
