@ninja8tyu @Lucifer @ceo_of_monoeye_dating You need some self awareness. Sadly, AI can't make that for you. I'll tell you this, I never once said AI art is better than artists. I recall the time where I generated shit to fuck with someone who was a piece of shit to make a point against them that I'll make to you right now, with the little respect for you that I still hold;

I am not "pro artist". I'm also not so "pro ai" that I want human art to completely vanish, you fucking moron. You're right, I don't care about "artists" as a group. When in a transaction with them, we are not friends.

Assume a situation where I commission you. You are not my friend, I don't give a FUCK about what you're going through because I hired you to get a JOB done. A JOB that I will not hesitate to remind you that you are not CRITICAL for and ARE replaceable.

Do you know the real problem with that, though? Do you at all? It's that human art has social value, and there's benefit in human interactions. There's merit in human art that gives it more value than the pennies it takes to generate art with an AI, and to automate that when unnecessary would obliterate that value to atoms.

I don't care about the "AI slop" flooding the market. I don't care that AI makes art easier to come by where artists are unwilling. That's not the point because in those instances, it's warranted. You apparently agree with that. I don't even care that art is in the value of the beholder, which makes arguments of AI art being worthless just as worthless.

What I care about is that there are elements where, despite my situation, I still don't want to hasten or accelerate the erosion of the market floor that people like you, who I STILL respect to some degree depend on for their own stability.

In a transactional exchange where you are replaceable, you're an insolant fool for suggesting it be done when what makes me care isn't "muh artists", because you're right that I don't care about that. It's that I have empathy enough to know that when I don't have to degrade the human element out of a market, I often choose not to.

I return my shopping carts, I help the pallet jockies at the store unload their carts if they are having trouble stocking heavy items. I face products other people put back wrong to help the employees responsible look better. I use the normal checkouts even though self checkout is faster, because I like to smalltalk and be kind to the clerks for the service they provide.

This is clearly something you missed the point of long ago- I did not spew AI around the way I did to simply disservice the shit you do at large. I spewed AI jargon because while it was still fresh, getting the point that social artists with a fat fucking mouth are expendable if art is the only thing they have for clout.

I spoke earlier that the artists who kept being cunts to me over a simple, cheap meme edit were just shooting themselves in the foot and hastening the erosion of their own market by making one of the few niches that are difficult for AI to fill have HIGHER demand for AI to be able to fill it due to their own bad attitudes. This, if you can't tell, isn't something I actively want or I wouldn't have been so pissed about it.

What I was saying was that it blows my fucking mind that there are people out there who will cut off their foot to spite the panther chasing them. You missed what I was saying entirely, you misinterpreted what I was saying ENTIRELY. And now you're just doubling down, tripling down, and I wouldn't be surprised yet I would be saddened were you to take the last bit of respect I have for you in pontificating all of this for you for granted.

Artists will see a stable, difficult to erode market in shitposts and niche, unique ideas that AI cannot easily put out due to it only being able to create derivatives based on idea derivations. It cannot directly put ideas onto paper, that's what human interpretation is for. And that's what it will remain for- AI interprets second hand, but it cannot interpret first hand as a human can.

Give me a fucking break, god fucking damnit.
