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.

The thing is people who generate images likely never would do "real art" by hand anyway. They are two different categories of people doing completely different things. They can both do their own thing, it's not as big of a deal as many of you make it out to be.
Except you’re forgetting that those people who don’t have to skills would have then hired another human-being to draw for them.
I have never in my decades of life hired someone to draw something for me. If I didn't have AI to create an image of T-Rex riding a bike I would go without a picture if a T-Rex riding a bike.
Sorry for all the hard working T-Rex Bike Painters.
You are under the impression that the majority of the population uses image generation for profit. No. Anecdotically, it seems like the average population in my experience is sort of fond of image generation and I think the vast, vast majority of it is done by people who just want to make an image for themselves personally, and no they would have never paid anyone
You’re under the impression that ai gen is going to stay free forever.
