"B-But you don't understand, AI DESTROYS le epic self employed artists and their bottom line! Art is a sacred thing that we all do for fun and not for work, therefore AI that automates the process is EVIL!"

- Actual thought process of some people

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

AI does do this to a subsection. Claiming that everyone is overreacting is just as stupid and lacks the same amount of nuance as claiming AI is going to ruin all self employed artists.

Also this ignores AI companies stealing blatnatly copyrighted material to feed their AI. As an artist I rather not have some randoms steal my stuff so some mid-tier corporation can generate their logos and advertisements without paying for it

Not claiming that everyone is overreacting, but how stupid a lot of anti-AI arguments are. Artists drawing art for a living gets painted not as a job, but as some sort of a fun recreational activity ignoring that artists have to do commissions or draw whatever's popular with their fan base that pays their bills via patreon, which in other words is the process of commodifying oneself aka work.

Also this ignores AI companies stealing blatnatly copyrighted material to feed their AI.

Not saying that you're necessarily one of those people, but this argument often pops up in leftist spaces who previously were anti-IP, which is a bit hypocritical. One moment people are against intellectual property, calling it abusable, restrictive, etc, but once small artists start getting attacked then the concept has to be defended.

As an artist

womp womp you'll have to get a real job now /s

Um, have you tried practicing? Just draw a stick figure or hire an artist, this will easily solve all of your problems. You're welcome.
