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!

So what's the solution for this board, they should just put up a black image? Should they start a crowdfunding to pay an artist?

It's a really bothers an artist enough they could make a banner for the board and ask them to swap out the AI. But, they'll have to make something that more people like than the AI.

Considering AI is really unlikeable, I don't think that'll be too hard.

Proof is when it happens.

The banner could be anything or nothing at all, and as long as it isn't AI generated, I would like it better

No, it does not have to be better than the AI image to be preferable.

Okay, we have your vote down now think about the other people that are also here. It needs to be preferable to the majority not just you.
