Step 1: Make an anti-AI post on Lemmy.
Step 2: Profit.

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 54 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If only you could profit from it

Those up arrows are worth more than gold

[–] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Once I made an elaborate anti-AI post that looks like pro-AI one if you fail to read it; got heavily downvoted, ignored and banned. That was worth more than any amount of up arrows. Pure bliss.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You expected people to read? On the internet?

Yeah, that's a mistake.

2 paragraph comment?! TL;DR?

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Made a comment saying a meme is probably AI slop. Got heavily downvoted because it was a 'known' meme template, even had some guys calling me a 'whiteknight' and 'AI paranoid'. Edited the post and told people to look at the woman's face in the meme, it was all deformed. Downvotes became upvotes, upvotes became downvotes, felt better than sex.

You give me a great idea! I will create a lemmy instance with ai-powered upvotes running in a blockchain so that people can profit from it /s

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I think you should integrate NFTs in there for more profit potential

If you could profit from it, Lemmy would be a hell hole in an instant. I'm happy that "karma" doesn't even really matter here at all.

[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a whole personality to dislike AI.

The no ai club with just 3 people is so real, unfortunately...

[–] JelleWho@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I live this series. Is there anywhere a collection where I can see them all?

[–] crater2150@feddit.org 30 points 1 week ago

The artist David Revoy has a home page with all of them: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/webcomics/miniFantasyTheater.html

You can also find Pepper & Carrot there, a comic with a larger format and longer episodes.

He uses only open source software and also publishes the Krita source files for every comic.

[–] cannedtuna@piefed.world 14 points 1 week ago

Here’s the artists Mastadon where he posts them. Not sure if he’s got a website with them all or not.

I really enjoy this art style. Thanks for sharing these!

[–] errer@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

If only it were “super easy” when it’s being shoved down our throat by pretty much every company on the planet…

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

David Revoy is a planetary treasure.

Microwaves were the future of cooking. Look at how that turned out.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I think a lot of people in the west are kind of sleeping on the capabilities of microwaves. They’re fantastic.

That’s not an endorsement of AI.

[–] morto@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

After having 2 microwaves barely lasting more than a year in sequence, I decided no never have one again and rely on a small electric oven. It's not the same, but it's also great to use and it's lasting 5 years so far. I don't even miss a microwave anymore

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 14 points 1 week ago

Wow. That’s some shit luck, and I definitely get why you’d choose to not have one.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 week ago

Don't think we've had one last less than a decade.

But if you don't need one, you don't need one. No need to clutter your home with another appliance just because it can occasionally heat up leftovers in a minute or something. I find it convenient but I've also lived without it and it was fine.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago

Literally everyone has a microwave though

[–] YaksDC@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Lots of professional kitchens use Chef Mike.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 5 points 1 week ago

The science was sound and built on a reliable use of electricity for output that people tried to get clever with but eventually settled into a more casual relationship with instead of expecting anything amazing from?

I mean honestly yeah probably will end up similar to microwaves where local running versions that people operating it are ok with lower quality will use, use it and its considered gross for professional setups.

Good comparison.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hate ai companies, not the technology. openai, midjourney, et all, should all be sued into the ground for the massive scale theft of intellectual property and other harm they've done to artists and other creatives.

however

there are actual good use cases for this technology. Personally, I'm fond of using it to turn my drunken ramblings into coherent notes for later works. This would be totally fine to do, if the ai's that were any good were made ethically and responsibly.
