    I pressed the demo button on a keyboard in a music store once.

    My second album will be out next month if anyone is interested.

    -More Creative
    -Creates the same thing over and over
    -Cannot create new things like an overfull wine glass without reference images

    AI could make this less pixelated…but so could whatever humans and/or bots took the screenshot and shared it everywhere.

    To be fair, sourcing vegan-friendly art supplies is often significantly more frustrating than finding vegan food. But as others have said, doing - do I call it ‘traditional digital’ art? - is going to have a much smaller environmental impact than AI generation systems that are dependent on servers. A used Thinkpad x230 > Midjourney?

      Also wanna add that in theory I’m not against AI art generation, only the way it’s usually implemented. All creativity is derivative, and as long as the user is remixing free and public domain content, I think the gained accessibility for far more people to bring their expressions to life where they otherwise would not have been able to, is worth far more than the perceived threats felt by a stagnant copy monopolist industry.

      But the key thing here is proper implementation. It’s like every time we get a new toy, we forget all over again that software freedom is a moral imperative in all forms of software.

        Freedom relies on consent and mutual reciprocity, otherwise it’s exploitation. AI art diffusion models that scraped digital art portfolios and did not gain the consent of the artists nor did the artists get compensation is exploitation full stop. There is no freedom in exploitation.

                  I haven’t looked into it too much, because I don’t bother to use these things myself. But if I remember, there are some systems that are open-source, can be run locally, and then a person could train those systems on only public domain and freely licensed works. That is the kind I’m talking about, so bringing up the systems I’m not talking about is just a strawman.

    What art are they looking out? Artists have been making powerful pieces with hidden messages and symbols since forever. Even graffiti can be used to disrupt and inform. Yes, there is garbage, but there’s garbage everywhere.

    “Anarchist” lololol

    Yeah, using the corporate product that stole all individuals’ work to regurgitate abortions from billionaire oligarch’s algorithms is totally “anarchist.”

      What classic art is transphobic. Lots of renaissance artists were LGB, the T came out when many of them painted themselves into biblical characters of different genders. It gets written off as because using themselves as models was more available than models, or vanity, but transphobic is far from the first description I’d come up with for the art history I learned.

      Exactly. I remember in Conquest of Bread when Kropotkin talked about freeing up more time by automating creative and intelligent pursuits so we can focus more on menial labor.

      Obviously /s

        There are rules. But rich people don’t have to follow them. It’s domination. Not anarchy/anarchism.

        Edit: Okay now I see the /S. Not deleting though lol.

      Uhhh I will get downvoted but I have to say, anarchocapitalism is still anarchism. And obviously disrespecting property rights is a very anarchist thing to do, so.

      And many AI models you can run completely on your own hardware, no billionaire oligarchies have a say in what you do.

        Sounds more like people who want to have luxuries and comforts and money but don’t want to have anyone telling them what they can and can’t do.

        Sounds about right for the current fascist techbro community.

        Most anarcho-capitalists, especially the Curtis Yarvin types, just want fascism, but with Inc. at the end, and call their dictator “Chief Executive Officer”.

      It’s like these mentally lazy ignorant people look all around themselves, see how the horizon is basically at the same distance all around them, therefore conclude that they must be the center of the universe, then sprinkle in a few fashionable internet soundbites and catchphrases to “make themselves sound interesting” and “with it”.
