"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Why scared? This is a new unique way to connect to fans and be real. For so long made artists have be foisted upon us with their looks, sound, lyrics, etc decided by a suit. This is an opportunity to turn this on it's head.
Corporations already weren't paying artists. For every aspiring artist that wins a court case against a corporation there are thousands who don't. We really need to get away from the commercialization of art anyways. Most art that is made is never meant to be sold.
I am not scared for artists, if anything AI can literally do nothing to dissuade artists and will likely inspire a new generation of artistic innovation. What I do fear is how AI will be used outside of generating entertainment.
Most people don't care, so I am having a hard time understanding your worry. I suppose the small percentage of people that care won't like an artist who is either openly using AI or falsely accused.
I think you must be referring to witch hunts which exist without AI. Artists careers have been damaged from all sorts of things and that is a cultural issue unrelated to just AI.
