Peoples' hatred of AI extends way over and above its effect on job markets or things of that nature.

[(Anonymous)]

And rightly so. There's a level of existential dread to AI - the fact that human creativity is at risk of being replaced by machine creativity is something that should worry everyone, artists and non-artists alike.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, that's nonsense. People make art because they like making art. The existence of a new tool isn't gonna change that.

[(Anonymous)]

Tell that to the opening credits of Secret Invasion.

[(Anonymous)]

It already is. No matter if the audience thinks what AI have is ugly, companies will do anything to not have to pay artists.

[(Anonymous)]

Human creativity is unlikely to be replaced by these tools, however, because they're incapable of creating anything that isn't iterated from other creations; they can't truly innovate or produce anything "new." Humans will still need to be involved both to direct them and to give them new works to build off of.

[(Anonymous)]

Wouldn't it be a better use of time if humans stopped playing around with AI and just... Actually created things on their own as we have done for thousands of years?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I don't know -- whether something is a "better use of time" is largely subjective (we're fandom people, right? How many people think we should be doing something else with our time?), and there is a strong creative element to developing something like AI. I can imagine that people will also develop really creative ways of using it, methods that we personally haven't thought of and so can't predict.

I'm not overjoyed at the idea of art making machines, and I'm a shit visual artist who envies people who make drawing, painting, sculpture, etc look effortless.

But I wouldn't loathe the idea of "input prompt into computer, get art" so fucking much if the tech was even usable without sucking up basically every single image and every word on the internet without compensating or crediting anyone at all for their stolen labor and then proposing to replace them with art bots for a subscription fee.

Making my mass produced sneakers may put artisanal cobblers out of jobs, but making those sneakers doesn't involve stealing every pair of shoes ever turned and sewn by human hands, putting them in a hopper, and grinding them up into bargain brand sneakers that are then sold for profit.

The new and egregiously shitty part of the AI "art" hustle is the models literally can't produce usable/salable results without first being fed the entire stolen internet, which developers of the tech have admitted to.

And they don't then say "well I guess it's back to the drawing board until we have a large enough opt-in database of text and images that contributors were fairly compensated for," they say "but we have to use stolen data or we can't make money!" :-(

Boo fucking hoo. Poor and working class people go to jail for "but I have to steal because I don't have money!" Rich companies should be barred from doing business and have their assets seized and redistributed for this bullshit.
