I'm glad AI is being used to put artists out of work instead of actually bettering the world in meaningful ways. Nice job, tech industry!
I am glad for AI. It’s helping me in my work a lot.
We can’t be luddites attacking a technology for removing the need for labour in a field. Attack the system that says you’re not worth anything unless you generate revenue.
I think you need to look up what luddites were actually against...
[…]
What exactly don’t you think means what I think it does?
e e lemmings over here playing fast and loose with objects, subjects, and verbs. Truly a mystery why people think you don't know what you're talking about.
How is it helping you?
Speeds up my programming a lot by being able to review my code for me, as well as suggest ways for me to approach issues.
I also use image generation stuff for design inspiration and place holder art.
So are you yourself an artist?
Not professionally.
Alright then your opinion on this particular aspect of AI isn't valid for this conversation.
Lol.
Person who uses AI daily has no say in the validity of using AI.
Okay champ!
Go back to shitting in the street because plumbing stole the night soil men’s job.
Having chat gpt feed you code isn't that same as having fully created art created in seconds by typing a prompt, champ.
Did you miss the part where I specifically mention using it for imagery as well?
Anyway look, you don't use AI so your opinion doesn't matter. Bye.
Let's see your original artwork then, champ. Post it up!
Let’s say they don’t create original artwork, and only/mostly use AI generated artwork. May I ask why it matters? It’s a little cringey to see big corporations are using it, but it’s also silly to assume that programmers used to pay for art for personal projects. In the vast majority of cases, they just avoided pursuing projects that required a lot of artwork. The whole “I wrote a cool indie game and I need an artist; I can’t pay you, but I can give you a share of the profit!!!” meme exists for a reason.
The reverse is also true: artists can use AI to cut out the software dev in their own projects. Shouldn’t that be regarded as a good thing? Devs are expensive right now.
Truly pathetic, this is all your argument boils down to?
Yeah that's what I thought, champ.
Go back to drawing furry porn for commissions, or wait, did AI take away the only income stream you can get?
You mad, champ?
I like that you've devolved to "champ". Not sure if you've realized how much of an asshat you've been and you're getting defensive, or if you're really just that comically dense and decided to keep pushing.
Dickface started with the champ crap. I don't care if you think I'm an asshat either. Dickface came into a discussion about AI generated art taking jobs and talked to AI for coding. Then he got pissy so I got pissy right back.
They responded to you saying (emphasis mine), "I’m glad AI is being used to put artists out of work instead of actually bettering the world in meaningful ways. Nice job, tech industry!"
Your original statement was broader than just being about artists.
Alright.
