    All the GenAI art, video and even vibe coded websites can dramatically speed up prototyping and seeing how something might look or work.

    Yes that costs jobs even if its only at the early stage and is done by humans after, but its real value and can overall speed up development on ideas.

    Like I was building a new feature in my software, I knew the constraints, what I wanted it to do, and I asked it to start making some visual mockups of what might work. There’s no way I could manually generate that many ideas and then fine tune them before finally coding it myself for real faster. Like it or not, that is positive.

      Yeah, fuck AI art, there’s no ethical use of wholesale theft these shitbags scraped and regurgitate without consent.

        Ethics and useful are two different things. Im curious though, have you ever pirated a song? A TV show? A movie? A game? Bypassed ads on a website with an ad blocker? Bypassed a paywall? Shared account credentials on something like Netflix?

        The cats out of the bag at this point though.

          “I downloaded a file somebody shared with me” vs. “I downloaded every file on the Web in order to train my plagiarism machine, which I charge people to use”.

            Lol thats how you want to frame yourself pirating stuff? The cope is strong with you. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

            Also i dont pay anyone to use stable diffusion or any of the countless models on hugging face. (Edit and i don’t charge anyone for whatever i toy around with either)
