    I’m seeing a lot of AI apologists in here. I want the leisure time required to create art, instead of being fucking burned out from working multiple jobs and spending all my available free time doing chores. Fuck AI, fuck the uncompensated artists and illegitimate theft of those works used to train the AI, and fuck you for normalizing it.

      Let me make it clear first. Generative AI is not art. Prompt engineering is not a real job.

      AI is just a tool. It is still waiting for an artist to use it to create art, just as a Photography or Photoshop image is not an art by itself.

      But… training with images is the same as humans learning how to draw, though… I know it’s boring but what you said is boring too. We could fall back to the same conversation over and over because you start with the same conversation again and again.

      FUCK AI, and also FUCK PEOPLE AGAINST AI, Good thing I hate everyone!

      I want to be able to create all the things Ive dreamed of creating my.whole life without spending 4-8 years in fucking art school, saddling myself in debt for a skill that was virtually impossible to make a living off of. and that was BEFORE ai. AI has enabled me to create things that would have been fucking.impossible for me to.create on my own and and absurdly.expensive to have commissioned. Its allowed me to create things that would be literally.impossible without it.

      I had ideas. I just couldn’t afford to make it real. With ai I’ve been able to.

      I never would have paid an artist to do what I’ve been able to done for myself. Even if I could have afforded it.

      Ai may commodotize creativity but it democratizes art.

      Jeans Pierre can still build a lifesized model.of Donald trump.out of tampons and I get an to cover my walls with viking chicks with huge fits that look like they’re painted by van Gogh, and oil paintings of my face instead of whoever the model.was on history’s greatest works.of art.

      If you’re an artist pissed off about ai taking your money: you probably wouldn’t have made much anyway. Being an artist was always a reckless gamble.

            Look I got nothing against y’all drawing shit or putting together low fi hiphop beats to shit and piss to or writing some waluigi yaoi or other content production, but it doesn’t exactly put men on the moon, kapische?

            The only reason any of you earn money as is is because advertisements can be served embedded into content, while corpos earn money mostly from landlording over IPs. Like all of marketing, it’s a drain on society from an economic standpoint.

        If you weren’t creating before “AI”, you’re not creating after.

        It’s like hiring a person to do art for you, but instead you took all their shit and used a machine to make a soup out of it.

        Get fcked.

          So i had an idea for a thing. This thing did not exist. Parts of it may existed in some fashion, but the thing itself did not.

          Now the thing exists. It hangs on my wall.

          We may have different definitions of the term creation in mind here. Can you suggest a better word to use for using my input to make a thing that did not exist before? I can use that going forward.

          And yes. Ai combines things that other people have made before into something else. Usually the Mona Lisa does not have my face. Then I spent around and hour in stable diffusion and maybe two hours in gimp. Now the Mona Lisa has my face. I would call this new, as the Mona Lisa, to my knowledge, has never before had my face on it. Let alone looked like my face belonged on it.

          I’m making an assumption here, and feel free to correct me if its incorrect, but I’m guessing that you feel its okay when a person blends artistic styles into something that is distinctly their own.

          If this assumption is true: why is it legitimate when a person does it and not a machine? Or is it?

          And another question: if the issue is with artists being compensated (maybe another assumption here, in apologize if I’m off base): would you support legislation to the effect that those that inspired or influenced another artist’s work receive recompense for it?

          Second to last question: if an ai is trained solely on works in the public domain do you still have an issue with it?

          Final question: if existing artists styles can be replicated using a genealogy of sorts using only those public domain works, and they’re combined in a manner that no one has thought to combine them: are there issues you have with that? What are they?

          Honestly trying to get a better understanding of where the borders of right and wrong here for you are so I can better understand your position.

            Based on your first comment, you’re not a person I want to have a discussion with.

            Maybe someone else values their time less then I do and will indulge in your quest to find the right and the wrong.

      AI apologists

      Im not an “AI apologist” because theres nothing to apologise for.

      Much like im not an “automatic loom apologist” or a “steam engine apologist”
