Raw LLM Responses

Here's a late, onerously-bad nuclear take packaged inside of a long spiel about the developing perceptions of 'AI' to drive engagement: I guess the worst case scenarios of people misusing 'Al' with under-baked prompts to produce the laziest slop possible is conducive to implicating every artist who has engaged with algorithmic technologies as people who have eliminated the creative process from their working engagements. I guess in this world of late-stage capitalism, every artist has time on their hands for even the most trivial processes inside of the creative process to be understood as crucial. "Oh l'm so sorry VFX "artist" who needed to rotoscope around an actor's movement in that shot for a composite: I know you went in and corrected around the edges of the foreground elements of that actor for each frame to help smoothly track their motion, but you initially used an algorithm that tracks motion (using video databases as part of its training) to get your initial rotoscope tracking and you just eliminated the whole creative process using it. How can I credit you for using what I can only assume are other people's videos for reference? You eliminated the process! Go back and painstakingly trace every frame yourself." "Sorry, image editing "artist" even if that generated material you applied to correct an element you did or didn't want in the image you "made" was licenced under a content credential that pays people who contributed to the dataset, its still a grotesque misuse of people's work, skipping how you could have engaged with the art form.' "Hey, video editor, you used what to help you correct, transcribe, and caption that dialogue? No, go back and filter, EQ, and correct it yourself (which you'll be doing anyway), then play back what you have numerous times to caption it. You don't need a human-dataset informed robot to make this accessible to humans." I haven't even mentioned algorithmically generated procedural levels in game design. 10 times out of 10, the general populace isn't going to give a fuck for unnoticable Al implementations in post. So it's always the worst public examples of a technology's use that get brought up as a rhetorical point of its wholesale elimination/implementation rather than any point of fundamental change to the system in which its implemented, understood and demonstrated poorly. Yes: You have disgusting misuses by bad actors pulling slop out of a plagiarised smörgasbord of material and calling themselves creatives and moronic executive class techbros mistaking it as the basis for wholesale creative process replacement. But the rhetorical mistakening of timesaving and accessible technologies as part of just being simple plagiarism machines to be discarded because everyone is familiar with the prompt-created sloppiest, garbage examples of 'art' touted by morons as creative-process replacements' is a fucking travesty to the potential of creative and humane art production. Are we supposed to let emergent technologies fall to the wayside because they emerge in a context of terrible, destructive and disruptive implementation? We've sure as hell never let that stop us before, but I guess we have to now because of a disgusting, deliberately forced perception. Al is not the disruptive problem the Executive and Dilettante techbro Capitalist class is intentionally making it out to be. It favours them more for it to be perceived that way. They'll try to publicly pressure the idea that a fundamentally human-made tool can replace human-made jobs. Human and human-informed art will always prevail. The problem is the executive and capitalist class forcing creative workers to reckon with an arbitrary technological divide that's been purposefully wedged to attack creative workers and minimise their capabilities. It favours the art-kiling bastards for what gets wantonly lumped into the category of 'Al' to be reductively perceived as completely bad or completely good for art with no crucial nuances of exactly what technologies are being used, how they're being used and why they're being used.
