    Really didn’t expect this to be so controversial. It’s just a sticker I made to use as an emoji.

    You must be lots of fun at parties. At least you’re true to your name

      Your post is:

      • Not interesting

      • Not conducive to discussion

      • Not made by a human

      You have made a generic statement with a very generic, generated image. You have not contributed anything to this community.

      On top of that, there are valid ethical concerns regarding AI image generation, specifically about the training data being stolen content with no attribution or compensation with no regards for licensing, and the technology being used to put artists out of work in favour of cheap-looking, uncanny valley pictures.

      LLMs can be trained ethically (though the vast majority aren’t), but it’s most likely impossible to ethically train text to image models due to the large amount of data required.

      Additionally, commercially run AI models waste an enormous amount of power, and all money invested into these models goes directly into the pockets of American giants and their wealthy owners.

        It’s an emoji. Do you feel this strongly about all emojis?

          If you were to upload an image of one as a standalone post, yes.
