Rotating banners on /r/piracy

db0@lemmy.dbzer0.commod to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com – 241 points –

Hey mates, recently I've developed a tool to use the GenerativeAI on the AI Horde to created random avatars and banners on lemmy. To keep things spicy, I wanted to deploy to rotate the /c/piracy banner daily, as I've done in a bunch of other communities like !stable_diffusion_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com and the lemmy.dbzer0.com.

So now this is now active!

Pretty long ye? The way this works is that each a random option is picked from each collection wrapped in { } which allows me to generate versatile options every day to keep things fresh :::

Here's some sample images that will be created

If you have improvements you want to see on the prompt, do let me know in the comments. In the future I'm having thoughts of allowing the community here to automatically send adjustments ideas to the prompt for funsies.

Exactly, you never intended to commission an artist because you think so-called “AI art” is good enough to replace them.

You gotta be fucking kidding me...I didn't commission an artist for an image per day A) because that would be insane and B) I'm poor and C) Because the point is being creative myself!

Of course not, the marginal cost of duplicating an existing digital work is trivial. The cost of producing work is not, which is why freelance artists work on commission.

I assure you, the cost of reproducing downloading a single mp3 greater than the cost to generate a single image.

If the images are so trivial then why spend so much effort defending them?

The...what? Read again The cost of creating such images is below trivial! Therefore the potential waste of such an action is not a concern.

You clearly care about this, just not enough to pay an artist for custom work or even to copy something an artist already created.

Yes, because read above.

Again, of course not. You’re a person and not a machine designed to replace paid work with a generic plagirism laundromat.

And as a person, my making the automation to generate these images gives me fulfilment like a video game. Are we done here?

the point is being creative myself!

Then do that instead.

I assure you, the cost of reproducing downloading a single mp3 greater than the cost to generate a single image

The average image generator burns between 10 and 30 watt-hours per image. Downloading 4mb from a server costs about 0.000026 watt-hours.

the potential waste of such an action is not a concern.

Sure seems like it is a concern since the energy usage of datacenters is expected to double in the next year and a half.

Then do that instead.

I did? It took me hours to design this automation (not to mention the months developing the AI Horde)

The average image generator burns between 10 and 30 watt-hours per image.

lol. I don't know where you get your numbers buddy, but it takes me a 2-3 seconds per image on my PC. And my PC is already running because I have to answer to ridiculous arguments on lemmy...

Lol, even your own articles dunk on you

Efficient models, like Stable Diffusion Base, consume around 0.01–0.05 kWh per 1,000 image generations. That’s about 0.000014–0.000071 kWh per image.

Sure seems like it is a concern since the energy usage of datacenters is expected to double in the next year and a half.

So? I don't use datacenters.
