@cr3atur3_png You're just using a double standard then. You consider some tech (social media) acceptable for use while bucking others (AI) because doing so aligns with your worldviews. That's not being objective.
By this logic, why don't you pay 99/mo for cable instead of 14/mo for Netflix?
@lilbrudder2@Midnightballoon Your provider is free to "pocket the savings," but as AI reduces operating costs, this kind of business model will doom them in the long run; no one is going to pay $400/mo for electricity if they can pay $40/mo for the same service.
@lilbrudder2@Midnightballoon Yes, I do. Because even if YOUR provider elects to "pocket the savings," AI infrastructure will eventually lead to competitors entering the arena, and like all industries, they will undercut higher-priced services in an attempt to gain your business.
@lilbrudder2@Midnightballoon The "scam" is a society convincing you that paying exorbitant bills every month for basic necessities is "the only way it can be."
@lilbrudder2@Midnightballoon The difference between AI and your "spreadsheet" is that the latter attempts to mitigate the damage using your own limited resources. The former eliminates the CAUSE of the damage.
@AdamLane1424@bbcdoctorwho@DW_MidJourney@DWASonline For the same reason any other fan work uses "Doctor Who," "The Doctor," "TARDIS," "Daleks," or any other name/likeness associated with DW -- because it's permitted under Fair Use as long as I'm not profiting from it, & I've repeated ad nauseum it's NON-PROFIT.
๐ทUPDATE ON RESISTANCE TO THE DALEKS:๐ท
As I continue reworking P1, I've been torn on whether to keep Whitmore as Sarah Jane or to introduce a new companion.
Should Whitmore portray Sarah Jane or a new companion?

@Grossgiirl I'm a graphic artist. I was "drawing" before there was Photoshop. I still draw by hand to storyboard AI video productions. AI is just another "tool" I've added to my workflow - just like Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, WordPad, IntelliJ, etc.
@aworthystory Food for thought: In 1982, "Tron" could not be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Special FX because at the time, using CGI was considering "cheating." Same old song, different tech...
@ollmecagent@aworthystory No one using it ever describes it as an "AI workflow," because that's not what it is. Just like Photoshop, Blender, Premiere, etc, we just integrated a new tool into existing workflows. That is - and always has been - how this works.
@Tieguaili3D@aworthystory "Asking for revisions over and over again" is not what anyone's workflow is.
If it's that easy, why isn't everyone churning out full-length productions daily? Why did my project take 2 months?
@rhyder@TheExplodingBoi Yes, I'm aware that this tech can make "production quality" content. However, I stand by my original point -- if an audience prefers AI-generated fan fic to such an extent that they don't watch the official content, that's not really my problem.
@rhyder@TheExplodingBoi If your ability to profit from your IP is threatened by a small-time, non-profit, low-budget internet fan film, perhaps the issue isn't with copyright...
@rhyder@TheExplodingBoi If there were no fair use laws, even the vaguest child's drawing of a Dalek would violate copyright. Copyright laws are meant to protect your IP from being used by someone else to profit. (You couldn't sell tickets for your film, for example).
@rhyder@TheExplodingBoi You should be able to make your own IJ or SW feature film (there are already AI versions of both on YT). With respect to copyright, if your production is non-profit/non-commercial, your work falls under "parody, pantomime, or pastiche."
@rhyder@TheExplodingBoi Out of curiosity -- if every frame in the production had been hand-painted using promo images as a reference, would you still feel this way?
@TheExplodingBoi Acknowledging that it's AI would seem to negate any reflections on the real "actor's talent," since we agree it's not really them. That's a bit like complaining a caricature painting "doesn't look like me."
@TheExplodingBoi Does this apply to all fan productions, or just those made with AI? Again -- I don't mean to argue, but a lot of the points being made against AI work can be applied to all forms of fan art, and people seem to just be making an exception in cases of AI...
@12AngryUsers@bbcdoctorwho@DW_MidJourney@DWASonline You make comments like this and then have the nerve to call OTHERS assholes? ๐OK. The only "assholes" I've seen since the start of this has been the same ilk crying about AI.
