At what point were you engaged in debate? You act bewildered that someone tried to critically examine your assertions. I’ve been asking questions from your opinion. Do you not recognize your own stated beliefs?
That is a fact, not opinion.
Incorrect. Locally running ComfyUI or Ollama neither picks their pockets nor breaks their bones. When these cloud companies crash, local models aren’t going anywhere, and they won’t do psychic damage to someone whose DeviantArt posts were in the training data.
Would any difference there be specifically attributed to any individual chatbot prompter?
In one shot, probably not. After a week of fucking around to pursue a specific idea in each person’s head, almost certainly. Then again, you could have one group of people prompt a hundred images total, and a completely different group each pick their favorite ten, and that non-interactive selection would reveal individual aesthetic internality. Curation is not creation, but it requires identifying a work’s shortcomings, even if you won’t correct them yourself.
Would a demonstrable difference change your conclusion? Like, is this line of questioning relevant, or are we just saying words recreationally?
I find the way you view those whose data built the systems you use pretty interesting. The distaste for artists is palpable. “…won’t do psychic damage to someone who’s DeviantArt posts were in the training data.” How do you view art in general? Is there intrinsic value in the experience for which the piece represents, or is the value of a piece purely the numbers on the pricetag?
Look, I fundamentally do not agree with your thoughts on the matter. That will not change. I also have at no point forced you to respond, you have done that on your own.
You can’t go from ‘it does harm! fact!’ to an appeal from the nature of beauty.
Nor can you honestly claim ‘this is an open forum for debate’ and then make crystal fucking clear you’re not actually arguing, you’re just spouting words at someone. You came to me. I did not seek your opinion, I did not invite brainstorming, and I’m not keeping you here. But for some fucking reason every single response includes a pearl-clutching rejoinder like you can’t figure out why someone is talking back to you. All you did was offer concrete rationale and claims to fact which are supposedly relevant to the broad and important topic at hand! Why would anyone have something to say about that?
If addressing your alleged reasons cannot possibly change your mind, then they’re just lies. That’s pretense. That’s pulling out excuses that sound like arguments, but cannot be foundational to your conclusions, or else removing them would make that belief structure collapse.
If you don’t actually want to discuss this, consider shutting up.
