Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
AI is annoying. But it's also gonna do some amazing things. People don't like the idea of being 1-upped by AI.
Well, that isn't the attitude to have considering it's a snow ball rolling down hill getting bigger and bigger. You're not going to just ignore it. It isn't gonna just go away.
I suggest people learn how to adapt to it's existence instead of using energy complaining about it. I don't much care for how it's being used lately, either.
Yes. It absolutely is going to replace things. And you're going to do absolutely nothing about it because you can't. It's not replacing stuff from the past but going forward, yes. It will.
Art isn't getting replaced by AI. I mean, some will, but it'll likely make REAL art more valuable. If tearing up AI art is what makes you feel like you're actually moving the needle, you do you.
That sounds like what a grumpy 6 yr old would do. They're called temper tantrums. You can't just go through life letting your emotions dictate things. I don't like my bar tender. Do I punch him in the face every time I see him?
No, because I don't let my emotions dictate my actions.
Man the fuck up.

That's what people were saying about bitcoins and NFTs a few months ago, yet they all left and jumped on the AI train.
As a mod of Fuck AI, I agree.
Nice.
What's this "removed by lemmy.world" crap? Is it that part of the joke or has lemmy.world started censoring posts?
I think OP wanted to say [removed by lemmy.world]
Huh. Weird.
[removed by lemmy.world]!!
LoL
No, it works on my machine.

Some artists are voluntarily contributing to training models when they're paid for their content.
Other artists are training their own models individually or as collectives for specific purposes.
Using stolen work without compensation and attribution isn't okay, vandalise away, unless the work is meant to be artistic or social commentary in itself.
It may not be black and white.
Stop trying to bring nuance to lemmy's latest irrational hate target
Sure, just be careful not to get caught
