Stable Diffusion allows anyone to make kiddie porn with a half-second of curiosity/effort. Maybe you didn't know about that, maybe you think it's NBD, but in any case, that is the tire fire which aspiring AI majors want to avoid.


Pen and paper can do the same. Or Photoshop. Anyone can draw anything! OMG, stop the paper factory.


>Anyone can draw anything!

I'm pretty sure one of the primary arguments for Dall-E and Stable Diffusion existing is that there are lots of people who can't draw anything.


Actually, anyone can't draw anything, especially the closer you get to photorealism. Also drawing by humans cannot be done in parallel very well. With an AI you can get an unending stream of pictures.


Stable diffusion can make very realistic looking images (probably videos soon) that is accessible to anyone.


I can't quite decide if that's good or bad.

On one side there's no problem to like CP if it's AI generated and no real kids are harmed.

On the other side it may desensitize the public to this type of content.
