Environment and Lighting Artist. My opinions are my own, but they're right, so you should strongly consider them.

If you had AI that could generate arable land, shelter, food, clean water and clean air, and it could do this sustainably and at functionally zero cost; I'd concede that fine, at that point, go ahead and have your AI generated images, music, and writing - because at the point -/

@ArtOfSoulburn Too much techno-fetishism which is the result of seeing people as a problem to be engineered out of systems for the sake of "efficiency" and of course, profit.

@ZakugaMignon YES! You drew it! A human being! Not a machine or a math formula lol

@tristan_elwell People don't go watch Shen Yun because they're robots. They're people and connect with other human beings, their vulnerabilities, and their imperfections. They practiced and performed. It adds value. If a single button was pushed and did all the same movements, nobody would care.

@tristan_elwell Video games: contain an element of human performance to be fun and interesting to people. Flood the game with bots or automate the performance, that's cheating. In a shooting game, that's an aimbot. It performs the act of aiming and shooting for you.

The value of art is more than design or aesthetic quality. For me, personally, it's also about the performative dimension, the social dimension. You can automate some of that out and still retain value in the form of human design. But engineer out the design too? Not interested.

[ANDLC @Ciaurrix]

Look, it's really this simple. There is a dimension of value for art, music, literature, etc. that is performative. We want to see people not merely design things but execute on them. The more avenues to that dimension of value we automate, the less interesting it is for many.

[ANDLC @Ciaurrix]

People don't go watch Shen Yun to look at a TV screen or video of the performance. They go to see real human beings perform those actions, with all their flaws and vulnerabilities and imperfections. Art is a social experience.

There is a site selling prompts trained on particular artists and their artwork.

This is disgusting.
Do you really think you are an artist? How can you even call yourself artistically inclined if this is what Ai ppl are resorting too?

This is midjourneys and stables licenses.
This is also why some artists were banned from MJ for creating perfect replicas of Mickey Mouse.

Do either of these sound ethical or even proper business licenses? Or does this sound like a get rich quick scheme?

[ANDLC @Ciaurrix]

@Norgans It's a form of labor piracy. If you can reverse engineer labor, even with permission, and then heuristically arrive at infinite variations at no cost, you have effectively created a "digitized laborer" that you do not have to pay. We need to revisit the ethics of automation.

[ANDLC @Ciaurrix]

@ZakugaMignon I have determined that this technology constitutes a form of labor piracy: if you can reverse engineer someones output, even with their permission, and then heuristically arrive at infinite permutations, you have created a "digitized laborer" that you do not need to pay.
