Wisst ihr ob es sowas irgendwo in Bremen zu kaufen gibt?

I'm always disappointed when AI slop fills my timeline. Even more so, when the origin is this sub. Some newbies / users of gen-AI may not realize this but the use and reprduction of big-tec-AI is not compatible with the Solarpunk core idea.

Gen-AI, especcially Image-Gen-AI was made possible by uncosensually scaping the internet for image data and reprdoucing it on a large scale. While from the few big-tec companies that own the proprietary software behind it, make massive never-seen-before proftis from the AI bubble growing. Meanwhile the net positive benefits to society of these AI models are doubious if not non-exitsitent, especcially when it comes to common chatbot and freely availalable image-gen-AI.

Aside from the moral-economic argument, AI generated imagery does not constitue art in any way. It is a mere input-ouput-calculation made by a software that was previously fed acual art. Whatever any image-gen-AI calculated as a result of your promt does not constitue "your vision" of e.g. "What Solarpunk could look like..." - it is just a render of a probable representations of buzzwords.

I understand this communinity tries to be welcoming and I give every user of e.g. image-gen-AI the benefit of the doubt, that they were using it in good faith and with good intentions. But I invite you to the thought of distancing oneself form the use of AI in these cases - there's plenty of specific use cases where mashine learning algorytms can be very helfpul - producing chatbot summaries and image-gen renders of solarpunk ain't two of them imo.

Maybe we can have a productive discussion of how e want to deal with this kind of content in this sub, going forward.
