Comment on Data poisoning: how artists are sabotaging AI to take revenge on image generators

  So you think you’re not entitled to income from your work? That doesn’t sound like something a professional would say. “I’m obsolete, don’t pay me.”

    Nah I understand what’s going on. AI is not replacing real artists. It’s replacing sweatshops. And even when it will eventually replace most of art grunt work we’ll find something more interesting to do like curate the art, mix, match, add extra meta layers and so on.

    This closed mind protectionism is just silly. Not only it’s not sustainable because you will never win it’s also incredibly desperate. No real artist would cry and whine here when given this super power.

      Pay is not everything in life, but it does buy things like paint and canvases.

      And I really have to question a self-proclaimed professional artist saying, again, that artists do not deserve to be paid for their work.

        No, they don’t.

        Work has to have value.

        Some work - some art - has value. Some does not.

        Sometimes you spend money and buy lumber and build a chair and you can sell it because it is worth something to someone. Sometimes it’s shit and goes in the trash.

        Just because you made a chair doesn’t mean you get money.

        “Deserve” - clearly you don’t understand the issue at hand if you’re using definitions like this. There’s no “deserve” in art.
