I don’t hate AI, I’m mostly concerned about it’s impact to artists. This is an ai detector, so it’s probably beneficial to artists. Ofc energy usage and whatnot is a concern too, but 2 inferences that this thing is doing is probably barely any energy usage compared to like toasting a piece of bread since it only takes a second or two to provide results
When all this tech was new I was following it very closely actually and installing a lot of local image models, but now that things have settled it seems pretty straightforwardly net negative outside of maybe DLSS. (also, the last big improvement in local image models was like a year ago, so it’s not really interesting to follow anymore)
