Raw LLM Responses

Ok so since I got some mixed thoughts about this video I will agree or disagree with you on each argument below. I won't elaborate on points I agree with you too much but don't take that as a negative baseline: 1) Doesn't work: I don't know enough but I'll take your word for it. Anyone who isn't producing ai art is gonna be salty over this poison method actually working anyways. 2) not stealing, inspired: Pretty much agree with it all 3) ai for reference: I agree once again. As an artist you are probably more knowledgable on this anyways. 4) ur a tech h8r: I agree once again. This one is a pretty stupid argument and just an opinion anyways. 5) Ai is accessible: Now this is one of the arguments that made me wanna make this comment. Art isn't just about money cost. It also has a TIME cost. And a massive one at that. And there is a big money cost for those who don't want to get into art. A good example is making art for a dnd campaign or just to show your friends (like the new ghiblify trend). Nobody wants to spends years practicing art for just a random picture they thought of for their hobbies. I am using ai art for personal hobbies for my example which is morally ok imo but after I address the arguments I will get to the moral scale later. 6) Ai is inevitable: Now most of your arguments I agreed with or just were on a subjective basis. But this one I think you are simply wrong. AI has not become a thing over the last 5 years. It has been around for over 30 years. And whether you realise it or not we are and have been using ai to make our lives easier ever since. Back in middle school we would make fun of google translate for making awful translations. But right now I would trust google translate over my own 10 years of language experience and that is because they use ai to fix it. Why is social media so addicting? Because ai fixes an algorithm for you. Open ai is just a single branch of a massive sector and even if it flops, ai will keep growing and eventually be used for more and more aspects of technology. This isn't a scary scenario either. This is just like saying "math will be used more and more in technology" because at the end of the day, AI just a big algorithm that finds best results within given restrictions. 7) AI is an art tool: This one I also mostly agree with. AI COULD be an art tool if someone comes up with an innovative idea to use it in their own art. But so far nothing like that has happened. Now, onto the morality of using AI art. I believe AI art is perfectly reasonable for non-profit use, such as the dnd and ghibli thing from earlier. It hurts literally no one. A more morally grey area is admitting ai is a shittier version of real art when using it for a service that makes profit (like a website or a thumbnail). One of the comments earlier on in the video had a guy saying "I have a small company and I need to make 6 sketches. I just pay ai to do it instead of paying an artist hundreds of dollars". This guy is willing to trade quality for the cost. When people see his page and notice ai art they may be put off but that was the price he was willing to pay. And as long as his business isn't based around the legitimacy of the art on his website then I don't see a big deal (except that a real artist could have been paid for the sketches) The morally black area is companies and people stealing art to feed into their algorithms. The people competing with artists in their fields. And the people selling ai art itself. The main problem ai art causes is that it creates a higher barrier of entry for people who want to do art as a business and makes a cheaper junk alternative. People who do art as a hobby or people who are very experienced with art won't suffer AS MUCH as someone who wants to start an art career from the beginning but has to compete with ai. A better comparison instead of the usual industrial revolution would be that of small businesses and supermarkets. How small artists will win over this big wave of junk art is beyond me but my best guess is eventually, people will make small portfolios of art projects that they can sell the license for ai usage to gain some profit (which will require more people to copyright or poison their art like you do). Overall I have no problems with poisoning art for ai. Go for it. Just like how I am not gonna argue in favor of supermarkets I won't argue in favor of ai either but in the end supermarkets won. Remember that just because you are on the morally correct side doesn't mean you are winning. You have to look at AI development more objectively if you want to fight against it.
