AI “art” opinion, capitalism, mh - 

I mean why throw money at actual not wonderfully well off humans with dreams and bills, when you could instead throw money at some big company and their neo-feudal barons like everything else in this rotten society?

@Leucrotta why pay an artist, when you could pay a company to machine-generate art for you and then call yourself an artist

@wolfteeth as posted on Twitter; brb, gonna go to Starbucks, order one of their really nice brown sugar oat milk shaken espressos, and then loudly declare to the folks behind the counter that I’m an expert barrista.

@Leucrotta YEP. to me it feels like it's just a way to make "idea guys" feel good. a tool to make it so they don't have to share credit with any other people doing the actual work, and they don't have to learn to do anything themselves either

@wolfteeth it doesn’t help that in all this time I’ve seen exactly three working artists go, hey here’s a cool thing which throws out stuff I can tweak (and none of them specify other artists as prompts) and a batch of jerks declaring that they’re the real deal who have the way of the future. It doesn’t help that Musk’s behind it.

That’s like if you had Proud Boys endorsing a book about the Luftwaffe; it might be a great resource, but fuck no.

@Leucrotta elon musk wouldn't know good art if it bit him on the ass
