But they conveniently leave out that it costs money to do anything with AI. It's more like "open to anyone with a credit card." The vast majority of people don't have computers powerful enough to run generative AI models locally, and even then, server farms with a billion GPUs will always produce better results

This means that people have to rely on corporate platforms where you buy tokens that you use to get pulls at the various AI slop slot machines, hoping you get something decent. The mechanics more closely resemble a gacha game than any kind of artistic process

By contrast, learning how to draw, animate or make 3D models costs nothing. There's free tutorials and tools everywhere, and you can also just pirate commercial ones if you want

For the smarties saying you can run it on a phone, a shitfuck scratched phone costs like 20 dollars at minimum and you're going for hundreds if you want an actually usable phone, a pencil and some sheets of paper cost way less than that

I made a video clip using real images passed through stable diffusion on a rented gpu. It costed me 3 dollars.

I like the glitches and artefacts though, Im not trying to have a realistic result. It's more a support for the music.

In general i think technology is a theater of the class war, things we have to appropriate
