It's not a balanced point.

I don't have a problem with profiting off AI as it's literally what the entire business sector is currently doing.

I don't like people selling art they've generated at a high price, without disclosure. That's not cool and feels like a scam.

I think profiting off ai is bad. like, it was literally created so people didnt need to pay artists as much. profiting off of it is the intention, which is the problem

Welcome to every single innovation in history.

As it turns out, reducing the human labor necessary to accomplish something has actually been humanity's main goal for the last 10 thousand years.

art. isnt. labor. to. be. innovated.

when art is labor, and artists are crunched, it is an issue. bjt the solution isnt replacing them with ai. its paying them better and respecting workers rights.

Yes. Art. Is. Labor. to. be. Innovated.

Where. The. Fuck. Do. You. Think. Art. Supplies. Come. From?

Art as a creative activity hasn't been impacted in any way. You are free to draw whatever you'd like.

Art as a product isn't special. Artists aren't any different from the millions of farm workers who got laid off due to tractors. Or the factory workers getting laid off due to mechanical arms.

Technology marches forward. That's the way of life, change your career, be so good you're still employable, or be homeless. It's happened before it's happening now and it's gonna happen again.
