You can falsely accuse me of being a corporate bootlicker if it makes you feel better, but you’re just making yourself feel better rather than contemplating what I’m truly saying.
I’m a musician and I know what it’s like to have technology and non-artistic related content muscle in on the same turf that I occupy. I just don’t have this sense of entitlement that this current set of anti-AI people do. For example, there’s a market for Muzak, as soulless as it is. I don’t begrudge it.

I’m happy for them.
I wonder how many of the artists suing have pirated a movie or downloaded music on Napster. Surely not all of them, but I’d be betting that the idea of copyright or intellectual property or justice only figures in the minds of many people when it concerns something they feel they’re owed.

If it’s theft then they’d have the ability to sue. Looking forward to their successful lawsuits.
Wake me when it happens.

They are stealing from other artists by the logic that artists are relying on. They claim they’ll lose their livelihood through AI taking their jobs. If there are local artists and a company says they’re too expensive then they send a portion of the work to cheaper overseas workers they’re saying that ‘your art is good but I’m not going to pay you for all I want’.

If my daughter enjoys her creative pursuits that will be great. I have enjoyed seeing her grow and find her artistic voice so far, and I’ll continue to do so. There is other art out there. Whether it comes from excellent or pisspoor AI, or whether it comes from talented or hack humans, that ultimately makes no difference. You seem to be misunderstanding a great deal too.

Then why are artists so freaked out about it? If it’s not art they’re all good, surely.

My daughter is doing art classes at the moment. She’s currently being taught about Van Gogh’s yellow flowers. He won’t get credit for anyy to of her future works. Is that bad?

Absolutely. It’s about making your own statement, and potentially finding that someone ’gets’ you. Your statement is no less potent because of other forms of art.

An interesting response. Posting a meme derived from a show that decides to get tweening done in something akin to an artist sweatshop. I enjoyed the show too. I didn’t bat an eyelid when I found that the animators didn’t create every cell, that they used another means of ‘automating’ their work.

Human art isn’t derivative?’

Who says that’s what AI was supposed to do? Where’s the rule book?

You’re inspecting evidence of cranework gone wrong and you walk under cranework?
The gene pool was kept murkier than it should be that day.
I’ll be the guy in the crane shat himself figuring he’d just turned two guys who shouldn’t have been there into paste.

I love the futility of the bleating that artists are doing at the moment.
Create compelling art. And create a system of art critics that actually consistently and competently identify great art. The whole art world is a joke, like the fashion world. Sure, there’s people who know what they’re doing, but there’s plenty of fakers and wannabes and a whole bunch of people who can’t tell the difference.
You want me to care about your art over an AI piece? Make it so compelling that I can’t deny it.

There’s no sense to your argument. We have plenty of stuff that distracts us from all sorts of crises all over the world. Assuming your from the USA you’ve got a number of crises in your own country that have been ongoing for decades with no sign that people are united in acknowledging them, let alone fixing them. Can’t blame AI for wilful ignorance.

Finishing an artist’s unfinished work through AI can be a statement made by an artist about the use of AI in art.
So, AI can be, will be, and does get used to create art.
Is an ice sculpture a bad thing because it’s made by a chainsaw? Or is the chainsaw a tool in the sculptor’s arsenal?
A synthesizer isn’t a musical instrument in the traditional sense, but it can still create compelling sounds.
The whole AI art isn’t art thing is petulant. Let people enjoy what they will.

He doesn’t slip. He almost hops both feet out of the way. It’s intentional.
