In a post-scarcity solarpunk future, I could imagine some reasonable uses, but that’s not the world we’re living in yet.
AI art has already poisoned the creative environment. I commissioned an artist for my latest solarpunk novel, and they used AI without telling me. I had to scrap that illustration. Then the next person I tried to hire claimed they could do the work without AI but in fact they could not.
All that is to say, fuck generative AI and fuck capitalism!
This is not theoretical. It already is in place and is already serving people. The only reason it’s not growing more is because we don’t have any marketing and we don’t participate in the capitalist rot economy.

Yep, like I said: doesn’t work as advertised “just because actual reality”.
Me: “The system works exactly as advertised for thousands of people” You, a wise person: “The system doesn’t work as advertised because not everyone in the world is using it.”
You’re a very unserious person, so I won’t engage further with this nonsense.
