 @jepyang give it 2 years and the output of human artists will be called “training data” and AI art will simply be “art”. @jepyang if "AI art" isn't art, then what the capitalists are doing is just theft, so they choose to call it art if "content creator" work is actually art, then what the capitalists are doing is just theft, so they choose not to call it art fuck - Packbats 🎒 @jepyang humanizing the artificial an dehumanizing the natural. cyberpunk af innit. |
@jepyang I think it is about perception.
Bizarrely, Artists are often viewed as a kinda lazy, unproductive crowd. So "content creator" highlights their productivity. The thing that they are supposedly lacking.
"Ai art" works slightly differently, they actually lack it.
