Please, tell me your definition of trolling. Maybe after you help me understand, I will explain to the illustrators why they must prompt with text instead of drawing?
Assuming that I don't learn is wrong. I have a local installation of SD with a lot of models to test. The only useful thing in this gizmo is the Control Net module or maybe the Photoshop plugin for outpainting. You can upload your linear representation (sketch) and generate. But in essence, this is not progress.
I don't extend my drawing ability or produce any original work by synthesizing all the available artworks. The long term negative effects are obvious. After 3 to 5 years, kids will not bother to draw at all. In my view, this is not progress for humanity, there are a ton of scientific data about the importance of drawing for development of the mind.
The same applies to every human form of creation. You cannot beat the ultimate "calculator" with a model trained on all human intellectual production. Don't get me to start on corporations and greed and how they will view the necessity of human labor.
You enter a room where people are discussing a technical subject, trying to find ways to collaborate and have a better understanding and then you start giving your speech about the dark future of humanity, education, poverty and politics.
Picture yourself in the physical world doing that and imagine the reactions. Why do you think it's acceptable online?
First answer for the trolling "argument": Because of freedom of speech.
Second answer:
I am quite capable, technically speaking, to assess the technology. I don't see the benefits for humanity in A.I. "art" generators. And implementing A.I. outside the narrow use cases, which must be regulated in a form close to how we regulate nuclear energy, is not a good thing. Exponential growth is a reality with this one.
Outside the hype cycle, a lot of specialists are ringing the alarm bell already.
Dismissing their expertise because it represents an obstacle to startup and corporate ROI is not a form of rational thinking.
On the other hand, the signs are clear and finally the lack of empathy and ethics in tech industry will come to fruition.
