Don't bother, you just didn't mindlessly agree that GenAI is the greatest thing since sliced bread and that hurt their feelings.

You will worship the capitalist slop bot and you will like it
Not the photography argument 😭 lmaooooo
Also that says trust in AI, not love of GenAI. AI is going to be very useful in making medical discoveries, helping calculate large datasets, and easing communication breakdown in planned economies, and so on. Not when it comes to making slop “””art”””
I trust AI will be a useful technology; but even in a socialist economy GenAI is still garbage with negative societal worth
Lmaooo, discussion with you is impossible, because why bother engaging when you can just lie about what the other person said, right?
Where did I say that art is reserved for some high artisan class? It’s reserved for the masses, for everyone, that’s the entire point behind everyone being able to do it. A fascist slop machine is not art creation, it is relegating ones ability to connect with their fellow worker to a machine built by fascists and capitalists that seeks to establish a totemic cultural hegemony.
Imagine worshiping a capitalist machine.
A loud contingent isn’t “the majority”, you literally highlighted voting, not replies. There’s also a whole lot more than 2 people if you’re not going to be facetious.
Maybe people just don’t enjoy getting dogpiled by the AI-bro division? Wonder if that might play a part in anything.
It’s not reactionary to be hostile towards a fascist slop machine.
Seems like the opinion is pretty heavily split, that’s nowhere near a “majority opinion” despite what you might tell yourself.
Calling someone out for being facetious is not reactionary lmao
And who decides that exactly? The poster? Or grad members?
I am not personally attacking anyone nor being reactionary. What was the personal attack? Claiming that opportunistically using amputees as shields is disingenuous as a defense?
I’m not even talking about working artists, I’m talking about the masses casting aside any method of self-expression other than the machine provided to them by the capitalists.
Because I do not view human self-expression on an individual scale as something that should be automated away as superfluous labour. Art creation is already socialized, that's the entire idea behind anyone of any skill level being able to do it. Cooking, indie film, paintings, memes, shitposts, doodles, cartoons, singing, music, all of these avenues of expression have readily accessible entry points, and some of them like pencil drawing don't cost more than 2 dollars a year no matter what skill level you are. I view art created by the masses as the proletariat attempting to reclaim the humanity that capitalism has alienated them from. Relegating that last vestige of connection with their fellow workers is not only dystopian, but antithetical to communism's end goal of de-alienating the proletariat.
The internet is a communication network. A phone is a machine. I don't see how these items are replacing anything except less-efficient technologies. If that's what you want to argue human art is then that's where we disagree. Human expression isn't a "technology" that can be automated into obsolescence, because at the end of the day, why? What is accomplished by allowing a machine to create a mono-culture where all works are inevitably the same?
Again, don’t bother, they’re purity policing you by saying that because you want to credit artists you must love copyright. They’ve lost the plot.
If you go back through some of their comments you’ll see that they genuinely despise artists for some bizarre reason. Like to a vitriolic degree. An artist must of stepped on their toes at some point because it’s genuinely bizarre.
