“Art” made by combining stolen images to make an image. The worst usage of Artificial Intelligence, where in an ideal scenario,
AI would do things that are menial, repetitive, dangerous, while humans pursue more fulfilling careers like arts, sports, acting etc.
Not to be confused with something that is procedurally generated like a Minecraft world.
An excuse for billion dollar companies to lay off artists and actors (looking at you Activision).
AI bros, the ones defending this, really are just plainly jerks. They use tons of logical fallacies, rely on technicalities (like
big companies trying to say “nuh huh” to the law), project themselves onto others and have a persecution complex, remind you, for stealing stuff, when they have (like everyone) the right equipment to do art (pencil,
paper, hell even your
mouse). It’s only at the detriment of artists.
Big companies (the ones owning the
AI) or small will use it. Just to
cut costs. Apathy is the main issue. It’s easy to do nothing, everyone is guilty of that and it’s
time we change that. (Also see “Philistine”)
PS: If you spend that much
time on one “
piece” why can’t you actually do it yourself?
AI Bro: Hey look at this
AI Art I made.
Person B: Why can’t you do it yourself or commission an artist?
AI Bro: Well not everyone has the money for expensive drawing tablets. I just
don’t have
time.
Person B: You
don’t need a drawing tablet to do art and you said this took you 60 hours.
AI Bro:
Stop acting like a douche!
Person B: No need to steal from artists.
AI bro: Well technically, artists “copy” from other pieces of arts to do theirs.
Person B: You’re mistaking inspiration for plagiarism. While yes plagiarism has always existed, doesn’t make it any less ok, Generative
AI will only make it worse.
AI bro: Well why can’t it just be a hobby?
Person B: Artists
don’t have other industries to go to, usually with technological advancements
people adapt and use their skills with it. But with
AI,
people will be laid off. For those where it is a hobby, I doubt they’d like to have their stuff stolen to make a profit, without compensation or consent. Artists, even before
AI have constantly been screwed over, don’t blame them for that, blame those who do it.
AI Bro: Well like it or not it’s here to stay!
Person B: You can not do that and learn actual art if you were that into it.
AI Bro: Give me a
break we constantly get death threats and you just constantly cope. I hope you
loose your job.
Person B: I condemn threats, but that shouldn’t be a reason to dismiss what I’ve said because of some bad apples (nutpicking fallacy).
AI Bro: Well actually…
