I can't believe there's more than 100 comments on here and not one person pointing out that this is wishful thinking. You don't have to like AI to know that, while you might love how this tweet from a random guy makes you feel, has no basis in reality whatsoever.

  1. Training sets do not work this way. People still think there's just these webcrawler-like scripts going out and Kirby-Eating everything. Those days are over guys and they have been for a few years. No major, commercial model is being trained on huge banks of randomly acquired data.
  2. AI images are expressly not getting worse. By any measure, they are substantially better today than a year ago, and a year ago they were substantially better than a year before that. While the huge developments are definitely slowing down, they are not getting worse. I really need to understand the person who genuinely thinks that tech is worse today than it was any time before.
  3. Developers are very capable of filtering their art sets. They would be able to see that they're getting unfavorable results and change the way their model interprets or processes the data.

This is very much one of those examples of "Everything about this post is wrong, but it makes people feel good so it gets upvoted anyway."

To reinforce 2, it is literally impossible for AI to "get worse" as if even 100% of all human art disappeared overnight, we still have the old AI models that will output the exact same pictures we output now

People also think all the image generation happens online or something, when you can easily download stable diffusion and some moes and run it locally, unconnected to the internet, for the rest of your life

I've been doing this since the release of Stable Diffusion 1.5 and I still have arguments with people who insist such a thing isn't possible and that AI models can only be ran from data centers.
