Artists who oppose AI shouldn’t be allowed to use calculators.
They don’t get to shit on anyone bad at art, while they can’t do basic math without technological help.
Calculators don't need heaps of power to run. Calculators are not trained on the copyrighted works of artists. And that's only the start of the issues with your argument.
What a shit take.
Perfect analogy for someone who knows nothing about art or math
Explain it to me, oh wise one.
Bruh just because you don't like one technology doesn't mean you don't have to stop using another. Like not all programmers have to like OOP languages and they are still allowed to use whatever they like
People can do math without calculators; holy stupid.
Everyone can do complex math by hand?
Yes? If they learn shit. Same goes for AI artist they can create art if they practice enough by their own human hand.
K. Maybe most people are not good at everything, and technology can help them bridge the gap in their skills.
I understand this has you very upset. Hopefully you can learn to live with people being able to express ideas without skill someday.
lol how much complex math are people using day to day? You know what functions are on a basic calculator right?
Once again, stupid.
Are scientific calculators not a thing now? Are computers no longer performing complex calculations?
The term “computers” used to refer to people who performed calculations all day. The machines do the job so well now, most people don’t even know it used to refer to a human profession.
The problem isn’t machines replicating human skill sets. It’s that those machines are controlled by capitalists.
