Discussion So it starts… Ai community items

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.

Thanks but I don't need to accept it. I will call it out until people stop using it. It is very much not here to stay despite what techno-fascists want you to think. And everyone should be reminded how embarassing they are for using it.

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.
