A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

For virtually all of human history people brought their laundry to the riverside and beat it on rocks. This weird puritanism that "only humans should be allowed to draw pictures" is ridiculous.
If an artist can create something hand-made and unique then they'll be able to continue doing so. Same for people who make art for the love of making art, no one's going to stop them. But that 90% of "artists" who create corporate logos or generic furry porn may disappear, I'm not going to shed a tear.
That is in no way the same thing and I said nothing about being allowed to do anything.
If you do not look at a painting like A Starry Night and feel the human connection between you and Van Gogh's awe at the night sky or look at the painting in the cave in Lascaux and understand that you are looking through the eyes of someone who lived thousands of years ago, I don't know what to say. I feel sorry for you, I guess.
There is no connection like that with AI-generated art because there is no human or emotion or even eyes involved. It's not the same and it never will be the same unless AI become as aware and able to understand the universe as we are. I won't be holding my breath.
