But people said the same thing about photography and painting 150 years ago!

This is entirely different from that. Landscaping had aesthetic value after photography because people were able to embellish and stylize landscapes in ways they didn't actually exist in real life. There is no way to "escape" from AI into more stylization. All it takes is enough of those new stylized images and it'll be able to replicate it. This is different from photography because photography can't learn.

But people want human expression!

Yes, they do, but they'll probably only realize this after a couple decades of art [almost] completely uninspired by the human condition and depression and anxiety skyrockets. In the short term, people will only care that they can type into a field and get what they want without any significant investment. Good luck finding an art job that isn't just making prompts in that economy (And if you say that making prompts is the same as being a painter or illustrator, yes it is art but no it isn't the same and fuck you).

I rest my case, art automation is cool but under capitalism it'll only be used to devalue artists further, and drive them deeper into poverty. It would be a great tool in a society capable of regulating itself but WE DON'T LIVE IN THAT SOCIETY AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO POINT THAT OUT.

STOP LISTENING TO :melon-musk: :debatebro-l: AND SUPPORT YOUR ARTIST COMRADES NOW

Now that I got your attention with my inflammatory statements, please commission your artist comrades and support them in their struggle to exist in what is already a very punishing world to live in. I promise to give any of you that do big hugs, I love you all, and bye.

    nope

    i can not answer a question thats not asked ... i dont do "Discoussion on the Syle of Discussion" Meta Shit , but i think its Funny that you dont state the so important Question like ever.. then accuse me of not answering it I dont even think there is a Discussion going on to be Honest ..

    I informed you of an offical definition. And probably some things got lost in Translation .. But the Subject of the "Dissoussion" is settled. All of this Hostility following is more direected against the Messanger then he Message , and sure theres always potential to deliver it better ,.. "feel the Room" and all of that. But thats not really of Substance.

    Also there is a culturall differencee working here

    A - You search for the "Absolute" Definition, fitting all Speheres - Where i come from there is Diffrent Spehers necesscitating different Definitions.. So No Search for Absoluts.. "Boheme " serves the exactly the purpose of adressing the Problem of the "Artisan Definition" to be this inbeetween thing , that Artisans obviously are ..

    B - You Think I try to attack Artist .. Art in some kind of Chud way.. I got one comment with "Pat soc" ?, so I assume this is what creates this hostility .. ? I fucking lovee Art and Artist and all of that shit. How Boring and Gray would be the World without the Muses and their Messangers ?

    .. thats this very nasty thing with Anglosphere Culture ,there Konversation is not Subjet oriented but Person oriented, therefore the Goal is to Establish a Winner instead Wisdom. It happens in the Internet with th Anglossphere , I think even the Schools have debate Clubs and all Debates are allways framed after a Winner? , theres Never a "What new Wisdoms did we get" framing but a "Who Won ? " Framing , totally derailing a Konversation. Giant Psy Ops..

    So lets just settle it in the 2 Main Spheres

    1. Sphere The Wisdom aquired

    2. Sphere Who Won ?

    I am Deranged and all of the other Words , do the worst kind of Dissussion.. change definition.. all of that .. Yes yes .. Sorry I am very sorry for that.. please lets end it here.. take your Trophy and leave me to my ....
