    Hating on new tools is some dumb shit.

    The algorithms are beautiful, revolutionary, a true achievement of humanity.

    The way the corporations have used those algorithms is unethical, inartistic, a true embarrassment of humanity.

      The way the corporations have used…

      This is true of everything under capitalism. And it doesn’t mean the art is slop.

      For example our phones are made by slave labor but nobody is posting memes about how all phones are slop. Maybe they should do. It would be a better cause than crying about generated art.

        I’m not sure I’m convinced by your argument. It seems to boil down to:

        • Thing A is bad.
        • Thing B is also bad, but you didn’t say anything about that.
        • Therefore thing A is not bad.
