Your bad, wordy meme is made all the worse by the slop filth you used as images. If you don’t want to create something with actual effort, use a template rather than giving corpos more power for no reason.
Can you please explain how using AI to generate this image gives corporations power? I’d argue it does the opposite due to the memes anti capitalist nature.
It normalizes using corporate-owned, corporate-trained, tools that inherently favor corporate perspectives and propaganda.
Even an attempt to subvert capitalist messaging can get screwed up by letting the corpo clanker choose what to draw. The images are just inherently biased and weird.
Here, somehow both panels have a white-supremacist and colonialist undertone: we get a white-savior businessman explaining things to a crowd of grateful Asian people; then he’s standing alone in his formal suit, framed as the only rational thinker in an exotic desert.
I understand that both of these interpretations are perhaps a bit of a stretch, but I truly believe that if OP had taken the effort to design and draw their own imagery for these panels, the imagery would not have had these weird colonialist implications that undermine their intended message.
Z-Image is literally made by Alibaba, c’mon now. While you do get access to the weights, and you can tweak it to your liking, you don’t get access to the bulk of the training data that was used to train it, and the corporations are still making the foundation model.
I’ll concede that your workflow is definitely way better than booting up a closed-weight model running remotely via API though.

Just scribble out your vision, it will be better than AI.

please explain how running an open model like Z-Image on my machine normalizes corporate-owned tools, I’ll wait https://huggingface.co/Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo

Ok it’s made by Alibaba, you don’t get access to original training data and how does any of that actually matter?
It proves that people are using it and they use that engagement to drive investments and growth
But then we are using the internet, social media and devices controlled by corporations.
Lemmy is technically better, without corp control and by having pro-socialist instances. But is the hosting free of corpos too?
