A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I think op fight a strawman here, AI is just like a tool, it can speed up the process .A lot of people can think of a cool thing but can t actually make it/ draw it. In this sense you could see that just like photoshop ,a tool that speed thing up . I saw the prompts/ software that people use on r/stablediffusion and AI in itself need work to do a good art.
Tbf, her issue with AI art is that is now possible to prompt "make me a 4 panel comic where x happens, in the style of Sarah Anderson". Her reasoning is this might make it harder to find her real comics, and devaluate them because there is no quality control. Which are valid points. However, in the two or so years AI imaging had been around, I haven't seen it happen jet. My guess is this is because people without talent also will not have ideas for comics. On the other hand, it just takes one person staffing for a political campaign to think of it and the artist is basically screwed.
Yeah, it's not that A1 is making "art" accessible, it's making stuff that artists can do accessible like comic strips.
Exactly. Sarah is well aware that it's not a pencil and paper that's out of reach for most people, but the time, effort, and talent it used to take for an individual to produce anything worthwhile.
She doesn't like that the ability to make the pictures in your head appear in real life has been opened up to everyone. She's strawmanning to gatekeep just like the boomers who say "I had to pay for my school loans and so you should too".
