I don’t count productivity or coding as a net good for what it’s worth. Fun, sure, but it’s truly incredible how the influx of AI hasn’t been used to create a more efficient way to distribute resources irl

Tech bros are a scourge on humanity and I truly wish for nothing but the worst for them

      I don't see why an AI couldn't be trained on specifically non-Western/counter-cultural/marginalized art. It seems trivial?

      The bigger problem I see is that it can never make anything truly new, which is why it's important for artists to keep making new art. I just think that AI, as a tool used carefully by artists to enhance their work or to take shortcuts on repetitive work, is fine.

      As you said, companies are happy with AI goop that's "good enough" and do not care about art, but that's not the technologies fault.

      EDIT Well wait, no, actually the way the plagiarism machine seeks to reduce all artwork into data points is also kind of bad since there's no mechanism to force these AI companies to actually compensate artists.
