Having a lot of fun with my son using an image of him and dressing him in all kinds of costumes. How is that depressing to you?
You're building a weak strawman here. The author didn't call you nor your son out specifically.

yep, what our climate really needs is another carbon emitter similar to an entire state's worth of vehicles just so people can not pay artists or make dumb images of themselves ripping off some artistic style like Studio Ghibli. that is so much more of a social good than people being able to make it to work and earn a living
Oh I think paying people to make 3 billion images would result in far more carbon emissions. Just think about how much CO2 a human emits while painting. The paint, the food. Just for the sake of the climate I would never pay an artist for something like this.
for sure, because every one of those 3 billion images rendered by human hand and not automated with a tool would exist. we wouldn't have a magnitude smaller number of focused designs, of course, that's definitely not how art and design processes happen

#323Does it still have that distinct off-white shading of previous models though? I'm 99% sure that that is the main tell AI sniffers rely on.

Let's see Paul Allen's card.

The 'environmental' consideration is much less than the argument over 'paper or plastic'. That's going to be an issue of regulation and cost - not some arbitrary decision over 'whether I should make an image or just use text'. Second - there are really not much in the way 'social or moral implications' for the most part. This is a dystopian delusion that I'm hinting at here. Folks are blowing this way out of proporti…

It has been possible to create convincingly cheap image misinformation for over a year (Nano Banana last August) but civil society has not collapsed. There are also open-weight models of similar quality and functionality without any safeguards.
Checks and balances in trust still exist, believe it or not.

How so? I don't have twitter or reddit, what are people doing?
If my social circle (in real life) is anything to go by, mostly testing out home renovation/decoration ideas.
Yep, renovation and landscaping idea mostly.
Well, that and infographics on what to do when the AI's start to take over.

I was curious and tried to come up with a crude estimate - all of the golf courses in the US use approximately the same amount of energy (mowing, fertilizer, etc) as one 1GW DC does.
K, but they're paying for that energy though. And the land and the building costs, etc. I really don't want to live in a country where the government just arbitrarily says "Oh, sorry we have 'enough' datacenters / Subway sandwich shops / golf courses / storage facilities so you aren't allowed to build one" -- even if it becomes a populist belief that they should. The fact is, at this point there is so much demand for…
>where the government just arbitrarily says "Oh, sorry we have 'enough' datacenters / Subway sandwich shops / golf courses / storage facilities so you aren't allowed to build one" -- even if it becomes a populist belief that they should.
It's not really arbitrary though, is it? It's decided by duly-elected representatives who answer to the citizens of the municipality. A government "of the people", etc.
I feel like what you're arguing against is precisely why we have local governments in the first place.

In my country, Canada, the number one supplier of fake news and misinformation is the government news company, the CBC. It is an ocean compared to the fake news I've ever seen generated by chatgpt.

#328I've really enjoyed using AI to generate images. For example, Long time ago, I read an amazing five-book saga called Riverworld, and I used AI to recreate many scenes, places, and ideas from the story. Seeing the books come to life through hundreds of images was a great experience. Definitely one of the coolest things to enjoy in 2026. Try it with your favorite books.

I did it as well. But it was fun to imagine it through another type of eyes.

there absolutely are ways to cache common-routes to fields of commonly requested paths. (hint : it's not all regex and checksums.)
Ok I'll bite, how do you reuse the answer to "what color is the sky?" while also layering in memory, custom system instructions and custom response styles?
It's probably only memory that'd need an answer for some form of caching to be worthwhile (though I'd be curious what that answer is) since memory is on by default and rarely identical between users.
The rest are nice to haves, but not everyone customizes settings just because they are there so there will be some large pool of users with the defaults who could hit cache without them.
