So the benefits are that something that was already being mass produced with no issue is slightly easier to mass produce?
replyIt's not a particularly compelling argument.
No, the benefits are that something can be mass produced magnitudes faster and easier, which in turn also creates more latitude for creativity and new spaces.
replyIt's a true state-change, which makes the argument pretty compelling IMO.
Weird how it's the least creative people who use it then.
replyNo idea why you were down voted, I think that's exactly how this will get used.
replyI'm already imagining this is how the local live indie band night I sometimes go to will generate poster images each week for the bands that are playing, whether to put up at the venue or post to social media. And the bands might be using it to design images to put on their t-shirts and other merch. I already know some indie bands using this stuff for their album covers.
He's getting downvoted because none of these supposed "benefits" outweigh the costs.
replyDownvotes because nobody actually wants this. Those image uses serve a purpose to an external audience. The audience doesn't want this shit.
replyNow of course I'm being dramatically absolute. I'm sure I already consume these things without knowing it. These things serve a function. Offloading to AI is the implementer admitting they can't be bothered to care whether it serves the function.

replyHow do these justify the costs to society?
replyThe 'costs to society' are massively overblown, and some of them (automating jobs) are actually benefits to society.
replyNothing says benefiting society like increasing unemployment, destroying what little trust was left in society, and allowing for CSAM and racist propaganda to be generated en masse. At least some corporations will save a few bucks.
replyThe girls that have to deal with their classmates generating nudes of them for the rest of time are glad to hear that their concerns are "overblown".
replyNobody tell those girls about Photoshop, or scissors and glue.

replyThere's some rich irony in accusing somebody who disagrees with you of acting in "bad faith" because you disagree with them.
replyOk.
