I know we already lost both of y’all to the psychosis but for what it’s worth I hope some day you realize making those pictures by hand is both a personalized and transformative expression of yourself and your skills as a human being, even when shitposting – while the AI route is just gambling at the slop-machine illegally trained on all of human creation until it produces something vaguely similar to thing you (or rather OP) admit to not even caring about.
Shitposts being deep expressions of the soul, apparently. News to me after several Photoshop Phridays selected my hard work of maybe half an hour. News also to the photographers whose images I stole and illegally combined. Images picked from the few relevant examples, when I’d search for a specific reference and cross my fingers.
These contradictions don’t phase you. You’re not listening. Any disagreement gets labeled as brain damage, and then the same complaints get parroted anew. As if people who pirated Photoshop will be swayed by copyright law.
My guy: the personalized aspect of a gag image for strangers is the quality of the idea, not the tedious skill of rotoscoping low-quality inputs. Effort can be part of the joke, but there’s entire subcultures for text over stolen frames from Spongebob. Now eight gigs of linear algebra will let your computer render bespoke images on command. In what reality will people politely abandon that and pretend it never happened?
Would a model trained only on licensed work change how you talk about this, at all?
