When I first joined lemmy local AI was pretty popular here. Popular opinion has shifted a lot in the anti-ai direction recently, especially after the recent internet-wide outcry after OpenAI announced that model a few weeks ago. Corporate AI was never liked, but there used to usually be popular comments defending local AI.

It's probably partially because the last notable advancement in local image gen AI was about 8 months ago now IMO (the flux model release). Also, 'open source' ai has become progressively less of a thing, with most models (even ones with released weights that you can run locally) released under restrictive licenses, probably turning away the foss-leaning fediverse population.

I think I have personally realized, since then, that the benefits of from-scratch image generation on society as a whole are almost nonexistent and "it's fun to play with for a few hours" isn't enough really justification for the potential harm to artists.

I really don't have issue with AI, the issue i have is post like these. Real people are getting affect by this AI and losing income due to this, it's real dick move to mock their anger and frustration.
