If you post ai pony "art" you are automatically a lower lifeform than me.
"I can't draw!"
> Learn.
"I can't afford art!"
> Newer artists generally do it for pretty cheap, and experienced artists often offer cheaper options like sketches.
Art is a luxury, treat it as such.
Any Company that complies with and adds an "Age Verification" system into their software is 100% of the time going to get fierce backlash because...
Say it with me folks!
THE INTERNET DOES NOT NEED AGE VERIFICATION
IT IS UP TO THE PARENTS ALONE TO CONTROL WHAT THEIR KIDS SEE
you do realize that paper today is not made from clearcut forests but rather recycled materials?
Second, you do know how much clean water is needed to keep a "data center" cool right?
Normalize calling AI artists thieves
Normalize calling AI content theft
Normalize calling AI music theft
Normalize calling AI films theft
Normalize calling AI photography theft
Normalize calling AI design theft
Normalize calling AI apps theft
Normalize calling AI writing theft
So the sales pitch is - "if parents are too dumb to ignore an R rating on a movie, they definitely need age verification?"
What?!
That makes no sense.
Because some parents are stupid, lazy, careless, etc does not mean we disregard the constitution and mandate age verification for everyone to use the internet.
I miss the days when AI was a cool sci-fi concept instead of it stealing people's art, actively killing the planet and becoming a genuine threat to all mankind.
