yes (the environmental angle is a complete distraction and red herring from moving towards more sustainable energy production generally; the ethical one is just plain nonsense spread by people with absolutely no idea how these things work)
yes (people use and like them, people have fun with them and create great art with them. You might not but that’s a you problem)
and … well actually probably no tbh (but that’s a problem with capitalism not technology).
Stop making shit up to dismiss new technology because you’re a luddite
It's more powerful than nano, sure, but it's also needlessly more complex a ui. Your use case is legit and that you know vi is a reason to continue using it, but it absolutely should not ever be the default for anything any more!
If I am forced to use an editor in the terminal, nano generally. But I very rarely need to because I have a functioning modern computer from within the last 25 years and therefore have a gui I can rely on. If I somehow manage to break the gui in a way that requires me to edit a text file (itself very very rare) I can fix it with nano.
Now, why would you voluntarily use an editor with a ui that's needlessly confusing and convoluted, an arse to learn, and notoriously difficult to even save a file and close without checking help files if you haven't already memorised completely random key combinations? I would say we'd love to know, but we already do. It's because you're an arrogant dickwad - at least that's what your last comment makes you look like
Ugh, I swear vi and it's derivatives are the absolute worse text editors going. There may have been reasons thirty or forty years ago, but now it's just complexity and a weird ui for the sake of it
Because it makes a complete mockery of history, because it means they're clearly completely incapable of learning anything in a reasonable timeframe (what were you doing for the last two hundred years? picking your toes???), because it means they cannot possible think like the humans playing them as they work on a totally different timescale, because elf culture would have to either be completely alien or stuck in the bronze age, and finally because it just rubs me the wrong way!
Again, we need to shift towards renewables. AI is not the problem you're angry with here, stop railing against new technology and new artistic media and start railing against oil companies
And by new I meant "not over a hundred years old", not "over three months old"
That's something of a red herring. The source of that energy matters more than how much is used (use renewables where possible) - your ire is directed at entirely the wrong place; and also how much is used in computers and datacentres doing other stuff? If I'm generating pictures I'm not playing games, which is using the same card and probably more constantly.
I gotta congratulate you though, that's an argument that to my knowledge was NOT levelled against photography when that was invented. I mean like all the other arguments it's bollocks but at least it's new! <pretty much every other argument against ai art was levelled at photography and many of therm at pre-mixed paints before that!>
Coroner??? As in the person who notes that people are dead??? That's an elected position? What? Why? How can that even possibly be political? "This person has gone red but they should have gone blue instead. Make them get back up and start walking around until they do dying right!"; "Cause of death: Being a gorram
<insult of choice>
!"; "You're not allowed to die, we've had too many deaths this week and I won't get elected again if you do. Stop pretending to be cold and stiff!". What?
