    Art has always been accessible, just fucking draw or make something, or express yourself somehow. That’s art.

    Accessible

    Bro’s mum only lets him to buy genai subscriptions, rather than a piece of paper + pen or a tablet

      I hate the accessibility argument because it’s so disingenuous. Yes, technically if I used these models it would have allowed me to keep making art when my wrists were in such pain I couldn’t use my stylus for longer than 30 seconds. But the problems with AI way outweigh that potential good.

        This is just like how drum machines ruined music by forever eliminating the need for a competent well paid human drummer.

          Exactly! It’s almost like stuff like this is actually pretty great when it’s a tool for the artist rather than an attempt to replace them. The accessibility angle would be amazing… If only it wasn’t powered by the damn Orphan Crushing Machine and didn’t need to steal all of the art/literature/whatever other data the corps can get their grubby little mitts on in order to train the models.

          But that’s the entire point. They want to pay for a machine they can write off as an equipment investment rather than a team of competent and well paid human artists. Even better if they don’t even need some comparatively low wage “Prompt Engineer” to run the damn thing.

          What rock or metal band has replaced their drummer with a drum machine?

    People are talking soyjack this, caricature there, but there’s a third alternative: the second character being featureless to not represent anyone in specific.

    The difference is creativity. If a completely uncreative person and an actual artist both used AI to make something, I’m willing to put money down that the actual artist will produce something a lot more interesting and profound than the uncreative person.

    Especially when you get down to the kind of people that didn’t even realise which machine was being raged against and who have zero media literacy or reading comprehension. It doesn’t matter how good the AI is, the work they produce is still going to be bottom tier crap.

      I remember reading an article on how our eyes are better at discerning dark, opaque text on a light background, I guess here’s a practical example of why that is.
