Looking for AI art haters to preview the art section
🕑 Added 2025-04-24 22:31:00 +0000 UTCHello,
Before I release the rest of Part 1 of AI Wars, even in a semi public platform like Patreon, I’m looking to get initial reactions from artists and creators who are skeptical, or especially self identified haters, of AI. Perhaps some of you have been open to change given my Patreon activity in the past several months, but I’m sure there’s plenty of you who are still extremely hesitant about generative AI.
I’m mostly looking for people whose concerns are in the artistic realm. Environmental concerns will be addressed but since the art part of this discussion is understandably close to home to many people, I just want to gauge the reactions I should expect.
I’m also not sharing this on Patreon right now because there’s some real people and lawsuits implicated and I’d rather keep this hush hush before it goes live.
If you are interested, please email me at alex@itsall.gay, tell me why you dislike AI image generation, and in writing, tell me you will not share the link with anyone. Please do not email me if you are amenable to AI or on the fence! You also must be able to watch the full 2.5 hours by the end of this weekend (preferably sooner). You are not expected to provide comprehensive feedback, just whether or not the video changed your mind and in what way. If you want to provide other feedback you can, but it’s not necessary.
Thanks for your help all!

PS I work on developing hardware that runs AI model inferencing at lower energy requirements (businesses don't like paying high prices over long periods of time), and I wasn't using our HW for that stat.

Has anyone done analysis on how much energy it takes to train the SDXL model? I know it only takes me about 5Wh to generate a high res image on my home PC, which is less than the lighting bill for someone who would have to manually create a similar work.

My hand slipped and I sent you several hundred words, sorry 🫣
