We've been doing it for genetic modification for ages. If it's possible to stop people from making human-chihuahua baby hybrids en masse, why is it impossible to stop people from culturally devaluing art en masse?

I don't think it's reactionary to have a cultural concern like this, either. Especially when the concern boils down to hyper-commodification. I'm not concerned about some abstract "rot" of society, but rather the commodification of art itself.

    oh huh I guess it has been ages (in research time) since GANs were the hot new algorithm.

    The fact that people blindly trust AI classifiers is arguably somewhat more damaging right now than generative AI models.

    Absolutely agree! I'm dreading the day I have to tell a doctor that I want a proper examination that they're saying is unnecessary because an ML model decided I'm healthy despite symptoms
