    My take remains the same, the current way in which capitalists will use AI is bad. But there doesn't seem to be a solution that doesn't just end up on a slippery slope and it still doesn't address the elephant in the room which is how do you actually enforce this.

    Society would have to around and see AI art as reprehensible as child porn, so that not only you can get a broad international legislative consensus against it, but also be able to mark sure capitalists enforce this legislation.

    So will we get the same consensus with AI tools? Its a rhetorical question isn't it? We can't get people organized to do any meaningful climate change praxis and that is an existential threat.

    We only have one recent example of something becoming socially taboo in a short amount of time and it was NFTs. If you can convince the entire art community to organize and oppose AI art then maybe AI art could end up just like NFTs. Actual professionals and people involved in the community are the ones that should be convinced to be against it. Wasting time arguing with with the average person wont change anything if half the art community is split on the issue.
