Artists who oppose AI shouldn’t be allowed to use calculators.

They don’t get to shit on anyone bad at art, while they can’t do basic math without technological help.

People can do math without calculators; holy stupid.

Everyone can do complex math by hand?

[–] sag@ani.social 2 points 5 months ago

Yes? If they learn shit. Same goes for AI artist they can create art if they practice enough by their own human hand.

lol how much complex math are people using day to day? You know what functions are on a basic calculator right?

Once again, stupid.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Are scientific calculators not a thing now? Are computers no longer performing complex calculations?

The term “computers” used to refer to people who performed calculations all day. The machines do the job so well now, most people don’t even know it used to refer to a human profession.

The problem isn’t machines replicating human skill sets. It’s that those machines are controlled by capitalists.

Bruh just because you don't like one technology doesn't mean you don't have to stop using another. Like not all programmers have to like OOP languages and they are still allowed to use whatever they like

Perfect analogy for someone who knows nothing about art or math

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

Explain it to me, oh wise one.

Calculators don't need heaps of power to run. Calculators are not trained on the copyrighted works of artists. And that's only the start of the issues with your argument.

What a shit take.
