Raw LLM Responses

My issue isn’t Ai art itself. It’s the ethics & method by which Ai art is currently implemented. Once it stops exploiting working artists & artists who can’t afford to legally defend themselves I’d be more on board. Give artists agency & allow artists to opt in or out of data scraping datasets, or compensate artists accordingly… that’s all I’m really advocating for at this juncture. And I don’t see a lot of ppl consistently advocating for the same thing, instead favoring the perspective that we have to just resign ourselves to the fate of Ai art without creating any real pushback. I know you touched on copyright & intellectual property, and you’ve approached this whole subject with a very practical mind (no doubt to keep your followers optimistic as well as realistic), but I do think there’s a part of you that underestimates why so many ppl other than yourself would choose art as a career. For me art can never simply be a hobby, even if that’s the most seemingly practical solution in a world where my artist job may lose relevance. Every attempt I’ve made to relegate my art to a hobby ended in whatever non-art related career I was in ultimately being consumed by my art lol. For a lot of us there is no other way… and we’ll do whatever we can to keep it that way. So when I see a situation arise where companies exploit artists by creating or utilizing tech that only functions by stealing the lifeblood of working artists in an already highly exploitative industry… I shudder lol. And I don’t understand why more ppl aren’t responding he same way 🤷🏾‍♂️
