Hey there, sometimes I see people say that AI art is stealing real artists' work, but I also saw someone say that AI doesn't steal anything, does anyone know for sure? Also here's a twitter thread by Marxist twitter user 'Professional hog groomer' talking about AI art: https://x.com/bidetmarxman/status/1905354832774324356

I already made my points, but again, there is no other material context under which this this exists.

Does its existence materially hurt people who sell creative forms of their labor? Yes.

Was it designed for that purpose? Yes.

Does it uselessly harm our biosphere? It's at least as bad as shitcoin, probably worse.

Is the slop spigot of synthetic inhuman garbage for mindless consumption worth the alienation of taking human creativity away from human beings, so the little fucking piggies can get exactly what they think they want (but not really)?
