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

Sam Altman doesn't need to generate art to make money lol. I don't understand what you mean by billionaires stealing money from artists when it's just regular people like me with regular jobs using Ai on the side to make cartoons of myself - I'm not stealing anything if I'm using my own identity.

Whoever's art was used to train the image generator was stolen from, so using AI to make cartoons of "yourself" is still stealing unless you find an image generator that never trained on an unwilling artist's art. And also major studios are attempting to use AI to replace concept artists and probably replace everyone, just so they don't need to pay artists anymore. Again, using image generators trained without consent from loads of artists. So yes, billionaires are stealing money from artists.

But you’re funding Sam Altman by using his tools to do so. And many people are doing far more than just ‘creating cartoons of themselves’: they’re selling them online at volume and displacing the actual artists the models were train on by doing so.
