the funniest part about this is that they actually had to painstakingly make the mashup photo, manually, to be used as an example of “AI copying”. an actual diffusion model could never do that

also the text is just bizarre. i’m pretty sure a human raised in total isolation would not actually be able to legibly “visualize ideas”

all of this smacks of this strange type of insecure chauvinism: AI models *must* be deemed to lack some “divine spark”, because surely all human work is intrinsically more valuable and automation of “creative” work is impossible

instead of acting this way you could integrate the tool into your process? you could remain curious and possibly even be excited at the prospect of widespread increased expressivity for your fellow humans?

reactionary hatred sells
