My enjoyment of things is dependent on whether or not it was made responsibly. Using AI to create art instead of actually paying someone to do something and strengthening the economy is irresponsible.
What about all of the other free art out there? People making their own profile pics or just sharing ones for others to use, is that irresponsible art because it does dick all to strengthen the economy?
People creating for themselves has nothing to do with a corporation utilizing non-consentual work to train AI data models which lead to the unemployment of artists who are put out of business for not being able to put up the same pace as the bullshit machine. Short term gains mean nothing if you’re fucking everyone in the long term. It’s irresponsible to harvest from a farm without replanting the equivalent of what you took.
your point falls apart when you stop with the black and white bullshit thinking.
You reduced the argument to whether or not someone was getting paid for the art. And I’m just staying consistent: I’ve never given a fuck about copyright before this and am not going to start because AI has changed the landscape. Especially not for little clip art like this that I wouldn’t put much value to in the first place.
And the whole “whataboutism” thing is a deflection used in the final stages of denial about how horrible american imperialsm has been for certain parts of the world, though it worked because it was deflecting what was already a deflection “if the US gets away with all this, then China should be able to get away with some things, too!” When I always thought neither should get away with it, rather than the “only pay attention to the one thing, let’s not talk about that other thing” angle “whataboutism” invokes.
Technology has always been about making it easier to do things so that a more skilled person doesn’t need to be hired to get a better result.
I wouldnt call the technology that is using 1.9 billion liters of water a year, or is causing severe respitory problems for poor people something that is making anyones lives easier. Unless you want to make the corpos who want to sell water and the insurance companies richer. Why you’re relating a known fallacy to US/Chinese imperialism I have no fuckin clue. It was also nice of you to conveintly not say anything about AI actually giving back to people, and not large scale conglomerates.
AI could’ve been responsible, and could’ve been ethical. It wasnt, it isnt. Until it is I will continue to call out when its used.
Should have started with those arguments because they are the good ones. Or how it’s being shoehorned into many areas where it’s not wanted and likely is there to help improve and disguise data collection. Or how some AI owners are trying to use some of that money to create a computing monopoly to remove alternative options to those unwanted AI-laden products and let them do our computing for us.
Making jobs obsolete is just what tech does over time. Our economic system is more the issue here and makes these things into a problem in the first place. It did if before AI was a thing, what with all the extra productivity without associated wage gains.
Your first reply come off as pro-AI. If you are pro-AI the chances of you being anticapitalist is almost 0. I went with the argument that would’ve appealed to a pro-capitalist knobend. It would make no sense to bring up poor people or environmental issues to a capitalist.
these were all confirmed to be AI generated. dont get too hyped. No one was paid to make this art.
My enjoyment of things is not dependent on some financial transaction happening in the background.

Whatabout-ism is a great fallacy.

Are they? Saw them for Linux and gnu too, they don’t seem ai generated
