A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Or... Learn how to draw?
I've tried and the results are pathetic.
You've tried, yes, but have you learned? Practiced? People don't automatically know how to draw. They practice for years. Give it a few more thousand tries.
I've never minded that I can't draw or paint, and now I have free tools that do those things for me.
However, it's not really free, is it?
Say you want to make a living off your creations. You've gotten really good, people love it. You can actually make bank for your hard work.
But this machine stops you. It takes all your creations and all the money for itself. You get nothing for your efforts.
Most art looks like previous art, because artists (like pretty much everybody) learn by observing other people's work. "Oh, but AI doesn't produce anything original it just rehashes other people's work that it steals!" Yeah, how many truly original movies have been made in the last 30 years? Imitation is what people do, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's how civilization has always worked. AI just does it faster. Computers do lots of things faster. Do you use a calculator? You unethical bastard! You should hire an accountant LOL!
Wow. Ok. I'm not going to argue with you further because your understanding of AI is odd at best and at worst just plain wrong. Enjoy your prompts.
