@moffintosh @Moon Personally, AI wouldn't have received so much flack if its proponents would properly alleviate others' fears of it fucking over our lives instead of just blindly embracing it. AI can be used for good if we understand that it ultimately cannot replace human labor. For example, I heard some artists are, in fact, incorporating AI into their works due to its sheer efficiency. Yet, many proponents of AI just seem like everything people hate about techbros in general. They don't really consider how to implement AI as harmlessly as possible (Taking it out of corporate control, implementing proper and not corporate-influenced regulations), and instead just disregards AI's victims (and soon-to-be villains).
Likewise, I honestly feel that most of the hatred towards online artists is due to most of them being on Twitter. It's not that artists themselves are annoying. Heck, I love the art communities over on Fedi, and I often use FA and e6 (Pssst, I'm an artist and furry myself). It's just that Twitter itself, through its evil algorithm and short character limit, has made anyone who used it shitty people.
P.S.: Maybe I should have just dismissed the post entirely instead. The OP was stupid enough to buy a stupid checkmark on the Birdsite.
