  How do you feel about Deepfakes? We all recognize that the person in the pic is Danny Devito but where’s he credited? Do you think he got any say or reimbursement for having his likeness stolen?

  Even in this spirit there are so much funnier stills from ISAIP that could’ve been used with credit to the creators that would’ve got the same point across. This trash appeals only to the lowest common denominator of people online (see: X)

  AI (image diffusion) is garbage and I can’t wait until idiots realize it’s only available right now for pennies on the query at an enormous deficit by billions in slush funds who are trying to prove a concept. But I don’t trust Xwitter idiots (and the people who eat their shit up) to not just add another $19.99/month subscription to their “budget.”

  And they made a good picture with said tool.

  Wrong. Even ignoring personal taste, “they” didn’t “make” anything. A computer software “made” a picture based off stealing the metadata of decades of human-made content. A person typed in a string of words and clicked a button a few times until they saw a picture that they liked.

  Finally

  Creativity: … I don’t feel a sense of pride when I order a burger from Burger King. I don’t think, “I made that” simply because I ordered the burger. However, if I make the buns from scratch at home and make the vegetarian hamburger patties from scratch at home and put together a burger, the process is vastly different and I did create a burger while experiencing the pleasure of the process of making it happen. This is why I get irritated when someone says, “I made this image” when referring to a generated image. You didn’t “make” anything. You had computer software generate an image for you.

    It’s blatantly obvious you’ve not spent a lot of time with Stable Diffusion or similar, you can’t just say, “Make a picture of Danny Devito eating Doritos in the dark with a can of soda on the ground near a tent.”

    You have to get a picture for the control net, use masks, tweak in-painting, and modulate the multitude of creativity and prompt strength settings.

    Your ignorance is no excuse to shit on AI (or LLMs) as a tool.

    If someone had created this picture with a photo editing software, you wouldn’t be this reactive. And I imagine you don’t need to cite celebrities when using their likeness for silly memes, but if they made T-shirts with it, for sure they’d have to get permission.

    How could anyone create such a picture with metadata?

    In any case, now anyone looking roughly like that = Danny Devito? Why does he own that look?

    People have copied works from others… Always. All of our society and tech is based on that.

    This guy is going to flip out once he finds out what a camera is. And that you can use it to take pictures of things and people just making a click without having to commission them for the pic.
