OK, not to be runde or anything, but why is your banner AI generated (lemmy.ml)

In my opinion, AI just feels like the logical next step for capitalist exploitation and destruction of culture. Generative AI is (in most cases) just a fancy way for cooperations to steal art on a scale, that hasn't been possible before. And then they use AI to fill the internet with slop and misinformation and actual artists are getting fired from their jobs, because the company replaces them with an AI, that was trained on their original art. Because of these reasons and some others, it just feels wrong to me, to be using AI in such a manner, when this community should be about inclusion and kindness. Wouldn't it be much cooler, if we commissioned an actual artist for the banner or find a nice existing artwork (where the licence fits, of course)? I would love to hear your thoughts!

We know this is the very famous "starry night", right? Is OP asking to troll, or maybe is there a joke or detail I'm missing, or OP just hasn't yet seen the Van Gogh and marveled at what was encoded into the painting?

Yeah, it doesn't have to do anything with my point, to be honest, I was just trying to make my post prettier to look at. My complaint is about the banner for this community.

If you wanted to make the post look good, why didn't you commission an artist to make your image? Instead you stole the hard work of another artist without their permission, attribution or compensation.

You know that the painter behind a stary night is long dead and this work is public domain, right?

You know that asking a question isn't an answer, right?
