“This isn’t going to stop,” Allen told the New York Times. “Art is dead, dude. It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost.”

“But I still want to get paid for it.”

      At the end of the day, I think this is the important thing. Arguments about IP and how AI (or AI “artists”) affect artists are understandable, but are missing the forest for the trees.

      There’s one, singular reason art isn’t well recognised nor compensated: Capitalism. And so long as it exists, no attitude or approach to AI, no purity filter, no level of enforcement of IP law, is going to effectively protect artists and meaningfully allow them to pursue their work.

    All AI art has the exact same value as an NFT. I can copy-paste your image and make it mine, I can copy-paste your prompt and make it mine. Labour Theory of Value Gang stay winning.

    Good gravy. This isn’t far off at all from the inevitabilist bootlickery I sometimes see on Hexbear about this treat printer shit.

    LLMs would just be tools, useful for a task, if it wasn’t for the hype-driven euphoria and venture capital momentum that is pushing to burn forests and turn lakes to dust in the drive to make ever larger data centers for reasons that range from arrogance to the occult.

        A lot of music is focus-grouped and has algorithms behind it because major labels want to turn it into a commodity. I’m not a musician so I forget what they are exactly, but there’s beats and music notes common in a lot of songs put there because they sell. Regardless, people will always want to hear live music. Nobody is going to pay hundreds of dollars to watch holograms of dead people.

        But yeah. The camera did more damage to artists than AI ever has or will. If painting survived photography, it will survive AI slop.

          Anti-intellectualism devaluing the arts and suppressing wages to below livable standards will kill art long before anything else.

        Even if they somehow were, what good would it do? Who would even be around to enjoy the prompted floods of slop? What would distinguish it?

      Bazingas like to preach the boons of the bazinga tech, and if those boons are doubted or criticized, they go for inevitabilism instead.
