I don't know about you specifically, but I'm surprised how many people haven't heard of Krita, a FOSS image editing app with an optional AI Image Generation plugin.
Am I going to be able to use a computer in any way at all in the future without having freaking world power-sucking, thieving, inaccurate, laughable AI doing stuff for me?
First of all, I actually find it quite helpful, AI is not bad in itself, just the people who use it for things it's not designed for are misguided. Secondly, did you miss the part where this AI is optional?
The fact that it's optional now is irrelevant. Most people aren't going to disable AI and will thus use a horrible, broken feature that has never been proven to work reliably. And what is "optional" now becomes the standard later. Best to kill it now before it becomes the complete ruination of the tech industry.
