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.

"Maybe some people do just undervalue art and the effort it takes"
I think most people do. Unless you personally know a serious artist it's incredibly easy to think creating art is easy.
I think the root of it is not fear, it's joy.
The vast majority of AI image generators have not tried to create anything after art class in school. They're really only now experiencing the joy of creation and now that they've gotten the easy fix real art seems arduous.
AI is far more like a drug or null gravity than people realize. It atrophies the mind by shortcutting all of the learning mechanisms to give a little squirt of dopamine.
