Hey there, sometimes I see people say that AI art is stealing real artists' work, but I also saw someone say that AI doesn't steal anything, does anyone know for sure? Also here's a twitter thread by Marxist twitter user 'Professional hog groomer' talking about AI art: https://x.com/bidetmarxman/status/1905354832774324356

What a crazy conversation. "Art" and "machine made" is an oxymoron, that's it. Without the human component, the techniques and experiences of an artist (however complex they might be), with no intent or thought behind it there is no reason for it to exist. This idea is one step removed from sitting in a plastic garden with drone birds flying around, reading your AI book and listening to AI music, while an AI robot raises your AI engineered children. This is death of the human condition, not technological progress.

Hes right, haven't ever seen any AI art that I haven't immediately thought 'wow this fucking sucks' no matter how many twitter posts redsails articles sources saying there AI slop book they made in a week can be sold for profit.
