Hey folks! Relatively new ham here, I’ve been enjoying listening to the local repeaters while doing other stuff on my laptop. Last night I turned on my radio before my laptop, and as it booted up what was a relatively clear transmission became nothing but static. I’m a little surprised the effect could be so dramatic on 2m given none of the major components would be operating around that frequency range, but I suppose there could be some minor chips on the board running around there? Is this a common experience?
This seems like a pretty harmless use of AI, this doesn’t hurt artists or graphic designers, it just saves some time to create an image that helps OP communicate more effectively. You can argue about the environmental impact of AI in general, but for one image?
I don’t understand blanket hatred of ALL AI, there are some cases in which it is more useful than harmful.
