Fuck AI

image generation ran on at least 4 gigabytes of gpu chugging datasets of millions of artists - accessible VS Picking up a pen accesible. Ai media generation is not more "accesible" to make art, people don't need an education to make art. people don't need technical talent or proficiency to make art. Generative media is a convenient vending machine to churn out something resembling a product. The whole point of our current generative art systems is in making something that has some kind of production or market value without a care of where that content was scraped.

I'm going to argue that stealing and masquerading to manufacture a product is a lot more effort than just picking up a pencil.
