Fuck AI

How about people who need a camera to create their art? Are they less of an artist than a painter?

I'm sick and tried of people re-hashing a discussion that has been settled for almost two centuries. Yes, photography can be art. There's art in how you use the tool. Not all people making photographs are artists or are even out to create art, and then it isn't art, and that's also fine. Why are people having such an issue applying the same to AI as a tool, saying not "Your shit sucks because it's AI" but "Your shit sucks because you're a hack".

Back to rock, huh?

i say this as nicely as I can, you dont need expensive and exploitative algorithms to make art. i dont really care if you say you cant make anything, put a pen to paper and draw. your terrible scribble has infinitely more value than anything a tech company's software can generate using stolen data. and after you crumple that up and throw it away, get another sheet of paper and do it again, and again, until your wrist snaps apart, and I guarantee you will not only have learned something about yourself but you will be more of an artist than any tech bro using chatgpt

“Nothing will stop real artists from making art.”

Exactly. AI images are not going to eliminate art. They just make it more difficult for artists to compete under capitalism.

The solution is to abandon capitalism. Not stop tech development.

Art is inherent in us. Just like the need to put boobs on mythical lizard creatures.

I require a computer to create art. I suck at everything art related. Can't draw, can't paint, can't play a musical instrument. If I have an image in my head, the best way to create it, for me, is to tell an AI what I want and then look through the results for what is closest to the image I had in my mind.

But why give a lizard boobs? They don't have boobs!
