[QUOTE="Art Waring, post: 9237849, member: 7037141"] Yeah I agree, I was basically just responding quickly to the post to address the most surface-level problems I had with the images. I have said as much regarding the deeper issues in previous posts in the past months, such as the problematic nature of the LAION 5B training dataset (starting as a non-profit dataset that is now being used for commercial purposes), and the lack of artist consent, or opt-in instead of opt-out options for artists, and other issues. Much of it has largely fallen on deaf ears. So, I kind of stopped talking about it, especially when a lot of folks are still cool with all of it. If that's what they want to do, who I am to tell them otherwise. Writing graff in the dead of night, headphones blasting out industrial rhythm laced with drum & bass, feeling a moment of freedom inside lines painted in red and black. All those moments will be lost in time, like... tears in rain. Time to die. [IMG]https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/517/507/2e0.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
