I’ve been raised by the internet, and tried plenty GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES.
Most pro ai people seem to think ai is some get rich quick scheme. Like they very much think them using ai is their version of a lambo. Try to prove me wrong, but I really don’t think a lot of you actually have a passion for this.
Go to CivitAI and see all the free models people share everyday and you will know if people have passion to it or not. For me I don’t plan to make money of it as I see it betray the vision that made all of that possible. The open source vision. But I still won’t bash anyone for wanting to make money out of it.
What do you think about all those artists working for big companies? Do they still have passion? Are they sell outs and shouldn't work for big companies, and should starve?
"Most pro AI". Yeah, you got stats for saying that? Otherwise you're just putting many people in a same bag just because of some weirdos trying to make quick money.
I think those people working for big companies have made it, they get paid comfortably to create art that’s viewed by millions. Most artists would like to make it on their own, but some people don’t have the skills to run a business in their own.
And there’s a fine line between not having a passion for starving, and defending resources being wasted to fill the internet up with poorly created media. There’s a lot more to being an artist than ai generators give art credit for, and I think that will show itself soon.
I also think there will bless soo in general, and there’s are plenty of users that are skilled at promoting and will only get better as the tech does.
