I play games to experience a crafted piece of artistry. DLSS 5 offers none of this, instead replacing the paintbrush held in a human hand with an AI slopping a big vat of oil over the canvas. What are we doing here?
And? They’re still tools. They exist. They can be used for things other than fascism. Just today I used an LLM to determine the area of a plot of land from a satellite photograph. I used generative AI to create a phone wallpaper background that matched my phone case.
Did the fascists gain power over me?
Do you think it have been better if I spent my time manually measuring the area, determining the math, and calculating the area of land? Should I have made an inferior version of the wallpaper manually?
If you think so, you must have more time and creative talent than me. Enjoy your privilege, but don’t shame those without.

I don’t think that’s possible unless the LLM has access to the satellite to mile ratio. Likely an hallucination.

Art is not about talent, it’s about continuous, rigorous training and improvement over years. It’s not a privilege. You can literally pick up a pencil and some paper and draw right now. It’s not something that is somehow inaccessible, hell I’ve seen a furry artist draw an anthro dragoness pin up with nothing but a burning stick and a rock. Also, there’s people out there that are completely paralyzed that can paint with their mouths. There’s millions of pictures in the internet that you could find to match your phone case that weren’t made with a plagiarism machine.

It did. The screenshot was from Google Maps which had the scale in the corner. I tried searching for a Google Maps plugin that offered the same functionality, but I couldn’t find any that would let me free form draw a shape on the map. So I took a screenshot, drew a red shape, and gave it to Gemini. It showed me all the steps it was going through, the math looked legit and seemed realistic to me.

How is it stealing from an artist? No artist created it. This is even less like stealing than downloading pirated films. In both cases, no one lost anything. Are you arguing that had I not had access to generative AI that I would have sought out and paid someone to craft a wallpaper for me? I would not have. I’d just use some free art online. Where is the theft? Are you saying someone, somewhere already created my exact wallpaper? Shall I upload it, and you can tell me where it already exists and I could have purchased it?

Yes, time. I don’t have those years. I spent my years studying machine learning instead.
