Even the most epic hate fucking of all time can only carry a relationship for so long.

Whoever insisted commercial art isn't art is an asshole that doesn't respect labor or craft.

How do you eat if you can’t work?

Thinking of AI as a highly skilled amateur is exactly what the scammers who want to replace real artists with algorithms want you to do. It is also entirely incorrect.

“Highly skilled amateurs” don’t illegally scrape hundreds of thousands of works from other people without their knowledge or consent.

Do us all a favour, follow up on that urge and just leave. Just do it, waddle off into your AI future and leave the actual humans alone. 

“When did everyone suddenly go from insisting commercial art isn’t art”

That... is a fundamentally stupid argument, especially in this context. 

I like how you just slide right on over and past literally one of the most important and biggest sticking points in this whole discussion, which is the rights of the artists on whose backs this derivative, hacky garbage is being spit out.

They did prove their point though: The point of this AI is to *not hire artists in the first place*

It’s working exactly they way they want.  And that’s the problem.

I have to imagine it is, because it’s either that or it’s people who would have shat all over NFTs unironically making the same exact arguments that crypto bros were using. It’s pretty fucking gross.

Have you taken art study classes? You don’t just look at the paintings, you talk and hear about their context and the techniques used, and things like perspective and where’s the vanishing point and WHY the painters did these things.

It’s literally the exact same people pushing this. And of course they’re recycling the same tired arguments. If they were creative enough to come up with new arguments, why would they need AI?

Overtly defining AI-generated images as “plagiarism” seems like a slippery slope that could lead to any art provably influenced by another person’s art as plagiarism.

Oh my God. If you’re going to parrot leftist rhetoric, at least try and understand it.

Indeed, if anything it’s the same people. I am aware enough of a person or company’s true intentions - as actions are the biggest purveyors of truth, hence why they’re forcing narratives through a corporate-speak filter, while hiding their actions. They want to steal from artists through this tech.

It’s the same exact narrative that crypto bros were using to hype NFTs.  Anyone who was against NFTS were old or part of the elite and trying to keep “everyone” from making money.  The stuff for AI sounds similarly the same.

I think this is all I need to say.

Oh, did I say that? I meant “steal from passionate creators who built their own skills and call it your own work”, hence the “War on Artists - because they’re ‘privileged’”.

Told you that these corporate/tech bro shills are trying to turn creative human labor obsolete through AI. There’s a reason they’re trying to criminalize artists in general - they’re forcing an ‘easy’ and ‘ethical’ narrative that benefits only them. For instance, they call artist “privileged” because they built their…
