that's what's so insane to me. for the longest time, STEM folk were all about 'artists aren't worth respecting' 'oh arts degree? just put the fries in the bag lmao'
then suddenly AI art comes about and then it's 'look at my art! AI makes better art than anyone and it's imperative we dump everything into it! you must respect my AI art! you must treat me like an artiste'
and now that it's clear it's a grift, it's 'art is dead, we will never beat AI, artists are back to not worth respecting'
once again, tourists visiting every creative medium they can to try and find fresh rubes for their machine
I've seen that shit here too. Today.
I think the ideological core of it is the boosters want cheap treats, or even want to feel like artists as "prompt engineers," and refuse to even acknowledge the costs and consequences and would rather shit on working-class artists, writers, and other imperiled people that are supposed to be comrades. No leftist I can respect goes there.
