    Nah, now shit is really gonna pop off. I am excited. Cause as much as this hurts artists it will eventually hurt the studios the most. And after all that settles we can just buy a cheap Chinese solar pannel to give us infinite cheap treats

        Everything is getting worse all the time. We can at least enjoy it a little. Democratization of the tools of artistic creation has historically only led to better art

          Having a program make art for you isnt democratizing the tools of art. The artist who created the Mona Lisa was Da Vinci. The merchant who gave Da Vinci money and said “paint a picture of my wife in front of a landscape” was the artist’s patron. You are not the artist when you tell the plagiarism machine to make a picture for you. You are the patron. This is obvious and self-evident.

            You say that. Picture Ao3 after robust AI video tools are widely available. I am not hurt that I will be able to get a superwholock episode of Seinfeld with the real actors reading terrible dialog written by a 12 year old girl then they all kiss.

                Will I find you there on r/neoliberal? Cause you seem to be mad that AI interferes with people's ability to make money.

                I am here trying to be grillpilled about it. More people will have more treats in ways less reliant on the societal superstructure. That prefigures some amount of people's art and culture. Which is good for the revolutionary consciousness. Overall it is a small thing with interesting possible effects. I see it as possibly being enriching and liberator to the spirit of the common worker and that is p cool if that happens.

                  Artists are proletariat who sell their labour. AI tech bros are a bourgeois who steal the artist’s labour and profit from it. Again, this is really obvious to the point where I don’t know if you’re arguing in bad faith.

                    Yes and AI represents more people getting to make art. It will be like when digital art replaced regular art. People still love old kinds of art but now more people will be able to make more things and that is in the end better for everyone involved.
