    Well, you should know in that case that AI art generators don’t “search the internet” when they generate images. I have a local installation of Stable Diffusion and it works perfectly fine with the internet disconnected.

      To be fair: to create said local model on your pc it had to get trained on thousands if not millions of accurately described images. You only install what the model has learned on your computer- not the training data.

        Sure, but the person I’m responding to literally described AI art generators as “internet-searching AI” and that’s a common misconception of how they work. Even among people who confidently claim to know how these things work.

            It’s okay, there are a lot of misconceptions out there and what you said was also informative and true. So hopefully it all helps.

      It appears I did a lot of damage by over-generalizing in my comment. My bad.

      Either way, that Stable Diffusion was trained on shared data, not that it literally requires Googling and scanning pictures.

      I wasn’t trying to make it a lesson on AI so my bad! Thanks for the info!
