Good summary.
You from Hawaii brah?

I used to live in North Shore Oahu. Still miss the mad grinds.
Its like gutenberg inventing the printing press and book writers/scribes probably complained. And anti book printers say that printed books dont have the soul and flare a book writer puts into making a book unique. Fast forward a 100 or 200 years, books become electronic and book stores/physical books dying out.
There was a lot of pressure to stop it. People say it was the church, but it was more the scholarly types didn't want people to have access to something in their own language and easily available. It defeated the scholars being the only ones with access. That rhymes with academia today.
Adding to the history, most Germans after that bought a bible and recorded their major milestones in it. It's a major source for family history.
“People say it was the church”
Uh have people never heard of the Gutenberg Bible?
I still prefer a physical book as those don't have the problem of needing a battery. Plus lignin smells wonderful.
plus you cant "change" physical books.
Come on now. They improve the books. Update them for modern audiences.
Damn, that literally hurt to write.
if what I remember from my AI class is correct, this is not true at all. While the training data may have contained these images, the AI itself does not contain these images. All the AI file is is a collection of nodes with different number values assigned to them. they can data mine the AI files all they want, they are not going to find any images of theirs. Additionally, as far as I'm aware, stability AI never distributed their training data.
As for collecting the training data, assuming the training data was not full of pirated images, then what people do with the shit that you post on the internet is none of your business.
Meanwhile I'm using it to design and skip a lot of artist wait time.
Where do you get to use good AI image generators? All I get are weird mangled images so messy that you can barely understand what is was supposed to be... I keep seeing a lot of talk about AI images being too good and easy to do but I just can't get to do it myself.
Try Midjourney or Blue willow. Then start simple and go into details as needed.
Honestly the statue made me think of something from Stable Diffusion. Like if you tell it to make 50 pictures of a woman doing gymnastics, 10 will be great, 30 will be ok, and 10 will have three legs, limbs in weirdly contorted positions, or her head will be twisted backwards or missing entirely. That's how that statue looked.
