        That’s circular reasoning. Why is it bad to use AI to make this image? Would spending time in photoshop make it less good?

          Spending time in photoshop instead of asking the misinformation machine to make this would make it good, yes.

            Why? You just say it would be good, without explaining why. How is this image contributing to misinformation?

              It’s not the image itself, it’s the tool. Using it normalises the use of AI generation and thus indirectly promotes misinformation.

                    you are saying the tool is evil. i’m saying the system that utilizes it is evil, not the tool itself.

                So there isn’t anything wrong with using AI to generate this image, except the possibility that others can use it for misinformation? How is that different from photoshop? Surely the misinformation is the problem, and not the tool at a universal level?

                  It’s not about using this image for anything, this image doesn’t matter. It’s the normalisation of using AI generated images in general, for anything. I don’t know how else to explain that.

                    It’s not the tool, it’s the use of the tool for misinformation that’s the problem. The internet, photoshop, TV, news, education system even are all used for misinformation, but that does not mean they are all dogmatically bad. The same applies to image generation.

            I hate to break it to you but even Photoshop is an AI slop generation tool now. Hell, most flagship phones don’t take pictures anymore. What you get is an AI generated composite of a number of frames it took. Everything is fucked. Reality is done for.

          It bad because it’s AI. There’s no circular reasoning there. It’s just bad on it’s own because it’s been trained on stolen work.

            IP itself should be abolished, and again, this is a neo-Luddite position attacking the tool rather than the capitalist system that abuses it. It’s entirely circular reasoning to say that AI is bad because it’s AI.
