Raw LLM Responses

Clicked because I agree with the premise, but the reason so many artists feel trepidation with AI art isn't "humans are scared of new things." I feel that's dismissive. I'm sure artists would be excited about the prospects of AI and incorporating the tools into their work if: 1. AI companies hadn't already proved willing to sidestep artists' rights (which they haven't done with music because that industry is A LOT better at suing the crap out of people). 2. So many people in the AI space weren't publicly excited to see "artist elites" fail for political reasons, incorrectly conflating their hatred for "modern art" with working artists. 3. So many of these same people now into AI hadn't also been part of the NFT nonsense that sought to commoditize artists' work without their consent. 4. Media companies who are already exploiting artists (video games, movies, animation) weren't likely to leverage AI as reasons for increased abuse or abject replacement. And keep in mind that all of this might still be OK if people didn't need ever-increasing amounts of money to even exist as living humans—I know artists who are so Bohemian and out-there that they need the bare minimum to subsist, but most artists want to practice art AND not live in the streets. So I mean, I agree with your attitude as an artist myself, and it's how I also think about it, but be conscious that even if some of the complaints can be alarmist or hipster-y or incorrect, that there are a lot of legitimate reasons to be upset at AI.
