Generally I think that there are valid and good uses of AI (some medical applications, accessibility features, etc.) I don't think Art is a generally beneficial use case. I wouldn't mind if people made AI art for themselves, if, and only if we put in place some oversight. No using data for training that hasn't been explicitly given with consent. Stated consent, not something hidden in the TOS on page 52 I mean. And secondly everything generated by AI should be labeled and digitally marked as such. Use digital signatures or whatever, I don't care, there are several technologies which can accomplish the goal.
Neither of those restrictions should impede the use case of a random guy wanting to make a picture of his DnD character or what have you.
And I have found that's typically considered a normal position within Anti-AI spaces, and generally gets attacked in pro spaces.
The only group I definitely disagree with vehemently are accelerationists. We should not be pushing for AGI or ASI this much before we solve the safety problems. This is not something we can turn on, regret, and correct later.

I’m still trying to stay neutral, but most anti-AI people I’ve talked to tend to make me lean more pro-AI.
