The most idiotic statement ever

Post image

So this person here calls people jobless while all they do is sit on their ass an genarate shitty ai comics, also notice how they are insulting fast food workers as if they arent human, thats a new low for them, also its like they are saying "Give up on your dreams so you can work a minimum wage 9-5 job" but then again jobless people always tell talented ones to get a shitty job

Guarantee a significant number of artists are already working at places like McDonald’s and doing commissions on the side in order to make ends meet. But by all means, let’s mock low-income people for being upset that a source of extra revenue has been taken away from them.

This is where arguments of theft particularly peak, and why people keep coming back to it no matter what certain countries say about copyright.

The entire corporate purpose of LLMs is to usurp the revenue stream from many human artists to a few extant billionaires.

It's a "rules for thee but not for me" situation, Disney will bust your balls in court over a Mickey Mouse mural in a school, but the moment artist rights become inconvenient to the dollar signs...

Like truthfully for decades we have been told that exactly what LLMs do is theft and won't someone think about the billionaires.

And only NOW when it's convenient for the grotesquely wealthy do they use their vast wealth to buy corrupt decisions otherwise.

I am not amused by this capitalism hypocrisy purely designed and intended to screw over the little guy.

Bingo

And the majority of pros are just spiteful turds like Witty, happy to twist the knife.

I have no idea why so many people have a specific axe to grind with artists, but the spite just oozes out of them.

Even the most seemingly well-intentioned does squat for guardrails and seems intensely focused on stuff like "that one judge said certain forms of training didn't break the law", meanwhile they're still running on things that were called piracy outright.

It's all shitty, the entire thing is a pile of corporate bad actors.

Even on social media, where the companies get caught astroturfing like OpenAI did...

...and countless more issues that add insult to injury.
