Right, I'm just a technologist. The psychological and sociological parts aren't my bailiwick
Typing a prompt in an AI box to make art has fewer real-world victims than performing the acts, filming them, and then sharing the videos.
I think that's inarguable. Maybe it's still unadvisable and someone should be in talk therapy. I have no idea. But at least nobody is actually getting molested and retraumatized in the ai art scenario.
If someone is spending their time using comfyUI drawing pictures instead of stalking the local middleschool, I'd hesitate to say mission accomplished ... but maybe I should?
People's time is finite. They can't be doing both. If the real is substituted for the imaginary then the real can no longer happen because that time is spent.
- Aeolun 1y agoThe model has to be trained on something though. It’s easy to see how this works for art art, because people have been drawing that shit for years, and most people wouldn’t feel to bad about training on it. I don’t think that’s true for the photorealistic models though.
- kristopolous 1y agosure but those features have been generalized over very large datasets. Yes, you can have Loras with specific people, convincingly voice clone with higgs, use latentsync, wan, flux kontext, face swap, lots of things ... sure. This all falls flat on me though. It's like showing me the lewdest most shocking story and then saber rattle about keyboards and word processors. I'm fully aware of the wild things people do with drawing programs. We're all adults here. It's fine.
