hate seeing artists be like "hey check out my REAL HUMAN ART that was NOT MADE by an AI!!! Look at how much more TALENT and EFFORT and SOUL I put into my work than these SOULLESS machines!!!!!" or whatever, like bro AI art sucks balls for its unoriginality and being ripe for capitalistic abuse but seeeeeriously you don't need to glaze yourself for the basic bare minimum any okay artist's capable of like cmoooooonnnnn uuuggghh
think the reason why a lot of AI art discourse feels kinda... stupid? strange? outrageous??? to me is cuz a lot of people are viewing the whole thing under the same drama-y lens as say, tracing or art theft.
idk where to take this topic from here maybe someone will add on to it but you get what I mean.
just found the most fascinating anti-ai person who is only anti-ai because they make and sell the software that spambots USED to use to flood the internet with low quality SEO-bait garbage and chatgpt is putting them out of business. what a fascinating category of human to be. i had never even considered that someone had to be actually making the spambots and that they have feelings too.
