how to explain to people that while we DO need to desperately dismantle AI’s capitalism-driven rise to prominence in many professional areas especially art because of how it will be used to replace artists in exchange for cheap content and on the back of uncredited artists that came before, and how things can be said about supporting the ai platforms that enable this

that simultaneously using Dall-E mini or Bing or whatever once to make a cat at some nebulous point is not like. It is not like. He did not just shoot an artist point blank out in an alleyway 😭

#this was on a post about Hank Green LOL #LIKE WHO THE FUCK KNOWS HIM AS 'the guy who generated a cat picture once'#like thats a COMPLETELY new one to me!!!#but regardless of who #this is like 'bots are a huge problem online...so everyone who made a silly 'a spongebob quote a day' bot must be shamed'#like the former is true...but the latter is not like. a moral offense bc its disconnected from the issue with bots #and if we want to go into the ethics of this #like i have no idea what example theyre even talking about so i have no idea if its even a locally hosted or self-trained ai #in which case training data could be controlled and it wouldn't have an impact on the power consumption issue w common platforms #something could be said about promoting ai art on a platform but. idk when this happened. was it to demonstrate something. etc.#are we talking 'look how tech has progressed lets demonstrate' or 'haha funny cat' or 'ARTISTS ARE OBSOLETE DONT PAY FOR COMMS' shit #the conversation around ai art is complex and has not always looked the same like back when dall-e mini first came out #like EVERYONE was dicking around and making like. JRPG Seinfeld #including people who now have anti ai art icons #and thats because it wasn't a clear threat yet. the conversation was totally different then #if we're writing callouts for everyone who has ever generated an ai picture of a cat we're gonna be here for a while #and we're gonna have to cancel a few people's grandmas too probably #wayneradiotv is on the guillotine for using an ai image generator to Increase Gender #like...idk it's just pointless and is not the way to actually stop issues around AI #but also just impressed someone on tumblr only knows him as 'the guy who ai generated a cat once''#dullblogging
