What if I run Stable Diffusion locally without paying anyone anything? Is it less immoral?

Marginally, yeah, since you're not supporting the development of more capable labor-saving devices in this category.

I'm still not a fan, though.

  • How is empowering others to create not a moral good?

    • It is! This method of doing so has overwhelming negative externalities, though. I'd expect anyone who actually gave a shit about AI empowering people to create to spend just as much effort pushing legislation so the displaced artists don't starve on the street as a result.
