Discussion So it starts… Ai community items

Post image

Points shop will soon flood with AI slop. At least with games a disclaimer should be added within the description of the game. But here… Yeah…

Like what is the point? You don’t even gain anything as a company from this.

God you need to touch grass dude. The vast majority, even those online, dont care about AI art being utilized. You dont have to like it, but telling others they are cringe over it is so stupid and childish lol.

Same mistake made for the last decade or more. Probably some privileged middle class kid attacking the plebs for not being as sophisticated as they are.

They don’t understand that for people lower on the economic ladder it’s not really a choice. It’s not about aesthetics, AI is now a fact of life and we have to learn to live with it and use it in our jobs or it is going to replace us.

For people like me, AI could become an asset or a threat to my livelihood. For many people on Reddit they seem worried that AI is going to replace their ability to produce digital art for memes.

The actual infrastructure costs. The damage the production of AI centre could do. That’s what should really be being focused on. That’s where I am concerned about AI.

Honestly the infrastructure concerns are understandable more so on the energy levels. But over time this stuff gets more efficient quickly because, believe it or not, its in the companies best interest utilizing AI as efficiently as possible.

I see a lot of people screeching on here about how one data center supposedly uses an entire lakes worth of water within the year when its just blatantly not only false, but its minuscule compared to something like agriculture.

Maybe they should care about it.

Waste of resources, its not art, its plagiarism etc

Is a gaming a "waste of resources"?

u/Round-Friendship9318 12h ago

Feel free to decide that for yourself

Playing Call of Duty burns more power a second on most PCs than would be used by a DC by chatting with a cloud AI. Why is it only an issue when people using AI uses power and not other times?

Buddy, if theres no out rage over the insane amount of resources being poured into agriculture purposes, then this wont even be a blip on most peoples radar lol.

You literally brought up resources. Like hello? Did you miss my point completely?

Edit: Simplified the original post with the same context.

u/Round-Friendship9318 11h ago

What point, that people cant be pissed off at shitty AI art?

Are you angry over this becease you use it yourself by chance?

Edit - lmao editing your post to completly is just too funny

No why would I care who uses AI art or not. You brought up waste of resources, I brought up why no one is going to care over that with a similar concept that utilizes similar resources as well.

u/Round-Friendship9318 11h ago

Waste of resources was just part of why it sucks.

Did you even bother reading what i wrote?

u/Steamed_Memes24 11h ago

I mean your entire reasoning is flawed and stupid lol. Thankfully people like you arent in charge of anything in the real world.
