This seems to be a pretty controversial topic that gets people fired up. What do you guys think of this?
Have you looked at the AI thread by @SwirlyMaple here? Some seriously (deranged) and very cool stuff in there.
Crazy fun with AI generated images - give me your requests and I'll crank them out!
For those who aren't aware of this yet, there are now a number of AI tools that will create images from your written prompts, where you describe what you want and it churns it out. There's a free, open-source one that runs locally on your own computer instead of a cloud called StableDiffusion...thegearforum.com
Just my useless opinion… I think the debate will become irrelevant (and maybe already has), because no matter what people think of the ethics behind it, many people and businesses will use it because it’s (1) very fast, (2) free, and (3) every image created is without copyright limitations.This seems to be a pretty controversial topic that gets people fired up.

It’s inevitable, kind of like how the music distribution world changed when mp3s came along. There is no putting this rabbit back in the hat.
I do think it is very worrying and sad for many creative fields, because this will no doubt impact them. But it’s kind of like trying to save the horse-drawn buggy once the automobile came along.
I like the way you thinkHorses generally live better than ever now.
Don’t need AI to steal music.Why not go AI? That's all I listen to these days. Screw actual musicians pouring out their heart and soul while actually trying to make a few bucks. I'd rather get something for free.
Yeah, this is really the key differentiator, for now.I suppose I look at the AI stuff like a Kemper/profiler; I’d have to sort through a ton of images to find one that actually does what I’m going for.
I don't steal music though.Don’t need AI to steal music.
Napster? Limewire?
That wasn’t the point…Who's pirating music anymore in 2022? Between spotify and youtube you can listen to any song in the world

It’s just a matter of time, truly. I’m not saying this because I want it to be that way—it’s an observation of a reality that isn’t going to stop.I've listened to AI generated music. Its interesting, curious where it will go in the future. At this time, Skynet is better at drawing then writing songs IMO tho
