Who'd be a better admiral, Jelico or Musk?

Humans are people.

And your solution, killing everyone in a category, isn't fascistic?

Beard looks good on him

I worked with an AS400 while in vehicle logistics, those things are optimized for simple functions but high data throughput

Wtf your username has been popping up in my brain, but i couldn't quite remember where i read it

Great edit!!

Great show, very funny

Sir this isn't reddit

Generating the image does not take much power, though training them does; I should have been clearer.

When I say "massive amounts," I mean a company like Microsoft opening large data centers that require enough energy and water to disrupt local communities. Obviously this isn't an AI issue, and Microsoft doesn't train for image generation AFAIK, but the fact remains that training an AI model requires an order of magnitude of more resources than most consumer or corporate applications.

If AI models were only getting more efficient, I wouldn't worry about this, but companies tend to scale up and use more resources to make larger models.

Embedding the features of one image into another to create an illusion is a task I'd consider AI for, IF the artist performing that task can be propelled by using the output as a base. If it takes far more manual correction by artist to the point that it takes longer to make a finished piece, or if the time spent enjoying the process is diminished, it's no longer worth it.

AI in art should be about automating the tasks that require scale or repetition, like how 3D graphics took much of the mathematical work from artists, letting them focus on sculpting their forms precisely.

Time freed from automating one task should be spent by the artist on another task, such that the work is done faster AND is appealing in a clear and obvious way.

The most "creative" way I've seen this done so far is using separate prompts for different 2d image elements in still painting, which appears to take longer to make less consistent results.

It feels like prompters rely on the divided tastes of the internet to convince people that their art looks good to someone, just not the current viewer.

Image generation is often done remotely, using massive amounts of energy and water cooling. I enjoy the funny images as well, but I don't like the massive volume of AI images that make it tougher to find human artists.
