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.

Big fan of Sarah Andersen but this is a terrible argument.
It's like a white man in the 1930s saying, "You're telling me getting a job is a privilege? Then how come I can get many different kinds of job?"
Because you aren't the one struggling here.
Not following you? Artist is stating art is accessible to anyone. Even if you do it terribly at least you did it. Yes people who do it well and practice should get paid well for it.
Doesn't change that the masses have access to making art with a random marker and a notebook. They always had access. Yes they shouldn't get paid or anything. Just enjoy your own art.
What AI does is give people art without soul or the discipline. Skipping A all the way to Z. Like handing an AK-47 to a child and saying now you're a soldier because you can kill people! A lot more nuance to get there.
