Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?

  I would say that the general mood here that generative AI for creative use or technical tasks is fine, enabling people is a good thing. We are primarily an anarchist community, and generally not happy with the massive corporate control over something that should belong to everyone (bc the models are the cultural output of everyone) and the amount of VC money that is used to push AI where it doesn’t belong in search of the next big thing.

  Quite a few people run models on their own hardware (like me, to support me when learning stuff, or when my wife wants new seasonal pics representing our cats in cute styles) or are using AI Horde

  There are users on our instance that are not cool with GenAI in general, but they are the minority.

  They claim they are not cool with generative AI

  Are you sure about that? The instance description explicitly endorses generative AI. I think you might’ve misread.

    We’re not against GenAI as a tech. We’re against corporate GenAI though.
