Hey there, sometimes I see people say that AI art is stealing real artists' work, but I also saw someone say that AI doesn't steal anything, does anyone know for sure? Also here's a twitter thread by Marxist twitter user 'Professional hog groomer' talking about AI art: https://x.com/bidetmarxman/status/1905354832774324356

It's the same for reddit or anywhere else; terminally online slop piggies bend over backwards to ignore the realities of a thing they like. This place was pretty hostile to crytpocurrency but then Russia started floating BRICScoin and there was a near-total reversal on all criticisms and the mental gymnastics began.

I only have so much energy to spend on detailed comments

I feel ya. It is disappointing to see, but I enjoy the real world too much to want to get drawn into hypothetical bullshit arguments all day with tech-pilled, terminally online debatebros. Maybe it's a sign of good mental health to not want to invest your energy into obvious dead ends.
