I am very vehemently anti- intellectual-property, normally I would side with the Anti-AI crowd when it comes to being able to profit off of another persons hard work. I’m an artist myself, and putting in the time to write and master guitar riffs is so satisfying.
That being said, I am also an anarchist, and believe everyone should have the freedom to use generative AI to create whatever they call “Art” (I prefer the word slop). One has to recognize 1) how much more gratifying it is to make real art with blood, sweat and tears and 2) the scummy shit that OpenAI and X (grok) and all these other companies pushing AI are up to.
I think we are absolutely capable of leading this conversation intelligently without resorting to spamming NSFW images in the replies and doxing other people. What an embarrassing tantrum.
Hey hey hey… pipe down the antisemitism there bucko.
