Gregory's Server@jimray Of everyone who should be questioning and pushing back, it happens to be artists, writers and creative folks. That's literally what we do. It's also why we're reputed to love to suffer for our work and often die for it.
And, I don't think we're supposed to do so unnecessarily but cuddling up to power and kissing it's feet is pretty much the opposite of being subversive or interesting.
The advice has been, "don't be afraid to use AI to generate ideas for content, to inspire you".
@jimray Which...talk about handing over your power as an artist.
Originality isn't everything but with the whole of existence for inspiration you're using a spreadsheet of averages. How can you not understand that everyone who uses this will eventually make things that have no creative voice?
The weird AI art that's full of weird glitches IS the interesting art, the compelling art. The "better" it is, the less it has anything to say about the conditions of creation and the less it matters.
