Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

The question about the legal and moral aspects of training on works of other artists is related, but a different discussion.

Art is human creativity. By its very definition, it cannot include something lacking originality.

A person may use AI as a tool to create art, but without human creativity it’s just mechanical regurgitation.

Human is the one with vision, AI is the tool. It's just a much more advanced paint brush that anyone can use. Alone it doesn't create anything and if the end result is bad, it's not the fault of the brush.

AI art is just an art sub-genre like painting, sculpting or photography is. Saying it's not art is like a film photographer saying digital is not real photography - gatekeeping.
