yes i do and im surprised you don't. A, piracy: the same upscalers were trained on the same pirated art and photographs as the generators. B, accuracy: the models don't work well if they need to upscale something that isn't a conventionally attractive white person. C, waste: litres of water get dumped into the analyser and kilos of carbon are output to upscale a single image.

D, ease of re-use: when you get even the appearance of results, it makes it easier to call on generative AI for other things, such as drawing, writing, or even information recall that you would otherwise use your brain for.

deleted my comment to re-write it, but no need since you already responded. I thought upscaling was just filling in pixels to stretch an image, i didnt think it would alter the image. I don't care how the AI is trained, I care what its used for and how accurately. I will look into it and will remove it later if it seems unethical like you say

looked into it and it has been removed, thanks for flagging that

you think im joking about this https://apnews.com/article/rubio-state-department-fonts-calibri-times-new-roman-1fcdc92f8229efd515fe44ae9ca16137

145 grand to change font is crazy

thank god we're finally tackling real issues like fonts instead stupid woke garbage like inflation and ICE /s

what a shitshow :[

I'm with Rubio; Times New Roman *is* 100x more professional-looking.

what a patriot, getting disgusting stuff off the streets like...a sans serif font. 👁👁 definitely a higher priority than ensuring the potus is gonna adhere to the laws of the land

I saw that- how is Calibri wasteful????? the world may never know

if they're going to start banning fonts they might as well start using Fraktur

@polydactia it's still very very bad that the administration's aversion to anyting remotely diversity related is so strong that they'd even ban fonts over the slightest relation

like, they would change the official government typography to zapf dingbats if they could be assured of strict adherence to white evangelical nationalism. it's not about professionalism, it's about control, silence, and obedience.

@krongulus antiqua would be a better analogue here (nazi germany outlawed fraktur letterforming calling it "jewish lettering"... sound at all familiar?)

"i only used whatever.ai to generate a tiny small portion of one line of code" great, yeah, that still means i have to view all your content as suspicious now. gtfo

can't believe there are people who don't understand this??? Like just don't use it.

I have a hard time imagining simultaneously holding staunch enough AI stances to be in a webring opposing it, while also flippantly using it for a solution that can easily be gotten elsewhere for something like a personal website. odd to see.

just look it up normally and end up on w3schools or something. or, you could steal code. i consider that more ethical than using AI

it's very black and white. you either do use gen ai, or you don't

im sorry about the "gtfo". i have very strong feelings about generative ai and they got in the way

nah dont be sorry about the gtfo, you are absolutely right, screw generative AI

just use forums and js/css help sites!!!

i felt the same seeing your page, it's so cool! ^^; thank u for following back!
