Stop calling them an "ai artist", start calling them by ai prompter because the don't deserve to be called an artist if they are not making an art by themself
Let me give you an analogy: Ai is like frozen dinners. Yeah, you can cook it quickly in a microwave but it's not gonna taste exactly how you want it. it'll just be a watery, soggy, stale tasting meal that'll make you fat and lazy.
What the actual hell.
And you guys ask me why I don’t like AI. It’s because of the intentions behind it.
These people openly talk about turning intelligence into a utility they control and sell back to humanity like electricity.
One man or one company should never have that much influence over human thinking, creativity, learning, and decision making.
I genuinely don’t think kids should be heavily exposed to AI this early either. A generation growing up depending on machines to think for them is dangerous long term.
If your gig flyer is AI, I won’t go.
If your book cover is AI, I won’t read it.
If your song is AI, I won’t listen.
If your ad is AI, I won’t buy.
If your profile picture is AI, we can't be friends.
I’m an AI critic who is also a staff software engineer. I am extremely familiar with what AI can and can’t be useful for. It’s best use cases are not as a consumer LLM product for writing prose or generating images and video, which is the main way it is being sold to the public. The downstream negative effects of data centers, as well as the obvious issues with giving anyone the ability to create realistic deepfakes of living people doing anything you want them to do are enough to demand that AI be highly regulated. It is like arguing that every person have access to an atom bomb. It’s best utility is on closed datasets not essay writing and insert yourself into your favorite marvel movie.
@fandompulse If screen writers today had any "creative vision" they'd write their own stories and wouldn't need to misappropriate and disrespect the material of actually creative writers.
They said that on Twitter “AI-generated content is considered 'high quality content' if it's 'Hollywood level' production” which is ridiculous.
Say no to generative AI! It doesn’t matter how “Hollywood” it looks it is all AI slop
Answer:
AI steals from artists
AI is destroying the environment
AI is spreading misinformation at a rapid rate
AI is poisoning people
AI is taking a lot of energy and we are paying for it
AI is using our fresh water
AI is being used to create sexually explicit images of people without their consent
AI is driving up the price of electronics
AI is making people dumb
AI has assisted in suicides
I am begging people to understand that ideation is the last thing you want to outsource to the AI slop machine. GenAI does not produce original ideas; real, living artists do. Hire concept artists for your preproduction work.
