We aren't there, sure. That doesn't mean any LLM generated image is inherently morally wrong or upholding capitalism, just like any hammer isn't upholding capitalism.

True, but it is more of about who is pulling the strings rather than who is underneath.

How does using an LLM for a meme support capitalists in any different a way using a hammer does?

If not a local llm, then the input given and the output generated is stored and can be used by the corporates in any way they want.

Once the job is done, a hammer stays a hammer.

So if it's local, it's fine? There's no problem with the fact that it's generated, but who owns the tools, then.

I guess yeah? Then It's just a tool to manipulate images just like Photoshop. As I said it's more about who is pulling the strings.

Gotcha. I largely agree, I think people often see AI images and get a kneejerk reaction on the basis of being AI, not the particulars of how good or bad the image is or the manner in which it was generated.
