AI art is ugly and distracting. It's also well understood to be unethical to make money with, especially in a community dominated by artists. It's especially insulting considering the artist seems to be talented despite taking shortcuts.
I guess people better do away with computers, cars , tools in general, makeup , just about everything. computers make take work from people, when there are people out there who could make money off of sorting files, making calculations, making art in general.
cars take away work from people and horses even , heck actually do away with horses also since there's always some dude you could probably pay to carry you to work.
let use logic when making an argument. computers also provide shortcuts in work. so do cars and ect.
ai art generation is just another tool like all tools men create, it takes away tasks from others. but that is what happens in progress and evolution. some things get phased out. and in general, the term starving artist has been around for centuries. art is just a bad area to hope to actually make a living.
Your point is not as good as you think it is. There is actually a strong point to be made about the downsides of cars and the automotive industry, such as pollution, creating a car dependent infrastructure, and the automotive industry's lobbying that has destroyed public transportation. There are also industries where that are bolstered by the use of automotive vehicles. Horses are not concerned with keeping their jobs.
As for tools, this is utterly ridiculous as well. First off, tools are an extension of ones body, allowing them to expand their craft. Not to mention there are people who need to make the tools. And if you are referring to machines that automate processes in manufacturing, then yes, there is also a case to be made that it is harmful to the human beings that lose their jobs. makeup? not sure what you mean there. Computers again are tools, They're not just magic work replacing machines. It takes years of learning to become adept in coding, digital art, cad, and so on.
No, AI art is another thing entirely. Unlike manufacturing, transportation, and trade; art does not exist for the same reason these things do. Art is what makes up the culture of our society. When you look at a piece of art, you are aware that a human being made it, and they put a piece of themselves into it. AI art does not do that, it takes stolen assets from artist who are far more talented than a hack like Yourself and makes an ugly hodgepodge based on a text prompt. It enables lazy cocksnot to impede on one of the last bastions of our culture that hasn't been taken over by the laziest money grabbing people imaginable. I'm sorry if it offends you that myself and many others want are that was made by actual human beings. I'm sure you will take none of this into consideration, seeing as how your already committed to taking obvious shortcuts. Whatever, your ugly project and attitude speak for themselves, and there are plenty of other artists willing to put in the blood, sweat and tears to create work that speaks for itself. Not to mention AI art generation requires an ungodly amount of processing power to work.
You live in a dying culture that values infinite commodity consumption at whatever cost. why get your shoes fixed when you could just get new ones for a little more? I dunno, maybe because its made with ultra cheap exploitative labor and it will inevitably become trash that poisons the earth with micro plastics and chemicals. Just because something is new and convenient does not mean that it is a better choice. I do not want to live in a humanity that forsakes it own creativity and beauty because its easier to type in a prompt. I thing you could agree that a culture completely of AI art would be hideous and boring.
