I found it a bit concerning the amount of people missing the forest for trees regarding AI on this site (hexbear.net)

Why are people arguing sentience and not the fact that this is another attempt to completely remove a sector of the workforce the way Covid was the conduit to remove a complete sector of the outside world? This shit is valued at nearly 200 billion dollars

I quit discussing it when i got called an ableist and/or a luddite for saying AI art is derivative bullshit and theft. Those people will recognise themselves, and yes, I sill despise you. I dont have the appetite for struggle sessions so I usually disengage immediately.

It’s really funny when people get upset when you don’t consider them an artist when using AI generated stuff. They’ll get indignant and scoff at requiring art to have “soul” and human effort. But why is that so bad? It’s okay. You don’t need to be an artist. You don’t have the skills or drive for it, and that’s fine. Most of us won’t ever be this or that. Generate an AI painting and have fun, and let the artists go do their work.

i use AI trained on my own stuff, and then i heavily remix it, it has a use case but that requires producing actual stuff and knowing what to do with it, something tech bros struggle with.
