Large Language Models (such as GPT) and AI image generators.
I follow certain AI related post tags on Tumblr and sometimes I see people expressing pure hatred towards these tools, as they only see the AIs as content thieves.
As an artist I think it's a more complicated issue than a lot of people are making it out to be, and all the fearmongering some popular artists are promoting really doesn't help.
Using AI is feeding bullshit into a bullshit generator that's handing back a synthesis of stolen art.
It's a bullshit tool for hacks and grifters to pretend they're "artists" so they can exploit another avenue for the grind.
This is not a debate. I don't give a shit what your excuses are. Shout at a wall for all I care.
You sound like you've already closed your mind to the discussion, but in case you're actually still willing to healthily engage in the discussion here is a really good video about why calling people who utilize AI in their work "hacks and grifters" is a very narrow minded (and often factually incorrect) way of looking at AI utilization.
