It is extremely kind of you to take the time to explain since our media can't seem to be bothered to.

... that's literally the point of a rubric.

Oh, okay. I won't then.

It's really not.

Maybe someday you'll do some research into the history of art and music and get some context into how technology has influenced both and the repeating patterns of the reactionary art that tends to get produced by artists you've never heard of when that happens.

Or maybe you won't!

Either way, good luck.

Ah, you are picking apart the examples instead of taking in the point. Well, I tried.

To answer your question, yes. Automatic1111 and ComfyUI are two of the most popular.

Well now that's just close minded!

Go back and read discussions about synthesisers when they first arrived on the scene and you will see much wailing and gnashing of teeth about how synths are not real instruments and etc and so on. Then do the same thing when hip-hop goes mainstream and people say it's not "real" music because the musicians don't perform with "real" instruments, I guess.

You see where I'm going with this? There's lots of examples like these in music and visual arts and they nearly always stem from ignorance.

I don't know anything about AI music generation, but visual art can be generated by AI models on local machines with a great amount of fine tuning and depth. Further, people feed their original artwork into the AI and manipulate that, so it's not so cut and dry. This idea that folks just write a sentence and the computer barfs out an image is uninformed.

Anyways, I'm blabbing. Hope that helps.

I'm with you so I pay a subscription (it is literally the only one I pay for) but even that is not enough as the enshittification is encouraging creators to release special videos just for their own channel subscribers now. So I need subscriptions on top of my subscriptions (dawg).

YouTube (Google/Alphabet) is a monopoly that needs to be smashed to itty bits.

As a "creator" myself, I'd like to say to my fellow artists who are anit-AI, get over it. AI artists are artists too. Yes there is bad AI art, but there's bad art in every medium. If done with care and skill, AI art can be completely awesome and if you have an open mind, you might even find some space for it in your work. But even if you don't, have some respect for the AI artists out there who put time and effort into their craft. There's room for everyone.

I understand. You are correct that, in the right context, pretty much any word can be offensive or insulting to someone. So I consider it my responsibility, once I am aware of this context, to try to be inclusive because I like to have as diverse a group of people around me as possible, it builds strength.

So if "Krita" ended up being derogatory to Russians or Egyptians or whatever, I would absolutely be cautious about that, yes. Especially if I was working with kids.

I mean, just because you don't care doesn't mean nobody does.

If I was running a school where students with physical challenges attended, I would not feel comfortable asking them to use software called Gimp, so I would just avoid it.

That said, I would avoid it anyways in favor of Krita, I'm just saying.

[–] Soundhole@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

Uh, yeah, totally. 100%

[–] Soundhole@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I might be, sure.

Not sure why you have a bug up yer bum about it I'm just fucking around, but okay.

EDIT: Also I'm totally serious about the helmet thing. Wear a damn helmet if you can afford it. Don't care if it sounds naggy, it's so important!
