Apparently Lospec's creator, Skeddles just made post about using "AI as a tool", explaining his process on a thread, and now he's getting sacrificed to the elder gods for his sins.
@NullOffColor got a link? I wanna see this before it gets deleted
@elfi Apparently the tuit has been deleted.
Here's a caption of it.
@NullOffColor aw darn, I was hoping to see the roasts :< Oh well
@elfi The responses are still available, here is the whole conversation with Polyducks for example:
His statements are no longer available, but you can get some context from Polyducks replies

@NullOffColor Thanks, this confirms the worst I expected about the original post too
"Tools in a toolbox" my ass, skeddles, that may as well be tracing
@NullOffColor On the subject of AI, I can only see it being considered a valid tool if and only if it satisfies two clauses: an ethically sourced, opt-in data set; and an output divested of its source works, e.g. fill tools, model posing, etc, decidedly NOT producing a composite image like it's currently doing
Right now, the current LLMs and generative models are an unregulated, overreaching, and power-hungry menace being shoehorned into positions it was never meant to fill thanks to magical thinking, and they deserve to be smacked down hard
