Whoa there buddy the post was talking about image generators, which run OK on consumer (albeit high-end) hardware. You’re the one who brought up LLMs.

And how can google track me if it’s a thing running locally? Just pass --network=none to the docker container lol. Even then you’re arguably giving google more useful data by using gmail than any of their AI services. Do you go after every gmail user telling them that they’re supporting genocide? As for your fifth point, gauging whether or not something is original art by the permutation space of the medium is reductive. Is a base guitar less expressive than a harp because the musician is limited by the number of strings? Humans make art for many reasons, and one of those reasons is because its fun. Drawing with pencils can be fun, painting can be fun, writing prompts can be fun. People will keep on having AI art competitions because it’s fun while you’re sitting there in the corner seething about how all of them are genocide supporters. inb4 ad hominem, but honestly you sound insufferable.

EDIT: Downvotes keep pouring in, but no replies. Looks like I won this one.
