Raw LLM Responses

​@BeastiezCyZ Oh please! Using fanart as an example is just deflecting the focus of the conversation. Ai regulation is not affecting fanart in any way or form and I know a couple of high profile Blizzard artists that started doing fanart for World of Warcraft. There is a well known pipeline between fan art and professional illustration that I'm sure you wouldn't know of. You tubers are enforced that way because of google's specific rules on their platform. And you tubers are not really making 2d artwork are they? So yeah lets get back to the topic at hand: Copyright is not any artists' friend you are right about that. But in a world where the work of creatives is constantly being devalued, in a world where consumers want to eat up the work without giving proper credit and remuneration to the people that worked for months or years to make it possible. Copyright is one of the few leverages creators have. This is especially true for small studios and indie creators taking on large projects like animation, movies and videogames. Projects that usually take years and health from the people working on them. Corporations will always spit on creators, copyrights or not. The system is designed to slowly dehumanize them and devalue creators, to take away the fruits from their creative output and make then anonymous. These AI systems are part of that same impulse. Use the output of humans as materials and deem them worthless. This current iteration of AI systems will not replace the artist, it's just a new way to denigrate them. There are hundreds of ways image generation technology could be useful for artists. things like 2d relighting, creation of 3d meshes from 2d shapes, ai color matching, depth maps applied to illustration. But the people behind these systems specifically choose these paths because it makes a lot more money to create a vending machine. The logic of capital is to erase the workers. The problem with American leftism today is that any highschool kid thinks they can decide who is a worker or not because they watch you tubers parroting the same thing over and over again from their phones. More so, any so called leftist can make a you tube video and make wild assumptions about industries they clearly know nothing about. It's just the same as all the clowns signal boosting NFTS's because they are "good for artists." Only this time you feel entitled because you are the left. The jokes write themselves. And sure the revolution won't happen any time soon. I'm just very surprised to read how a lot of so called so called leftists very happily embrace AI because they just want to chug on the treats like the glutton little piggies they really are! Just look at the world around you: Artists unions are scarce, large corporations go to great lengths to bypass established unions like the ones for practical effects by abusing CGI. The CGI industry is in shambles, underpayed , overworked and under the unreasonable deadlines of a movie industry that is more concerned in making fad products than works of art. Most of the games you played last year were probably made under grind culture by passionate artists and developers whose name you don't care about. And you are telling me that one of the few guarantees in this landscape, the ability to enforce by law the ownership of an IP or a large scale project should be shunned by creators? And to top it off they make this argument with the example of: "Original character do not steal" Making it clear that the extend of the knowledge shown in the subject is what they read from 10 year olds in deviant art
