Comment on Artists are making creative companies apologize for using AI
wahming@monyet.cc 5 months agoAI is making it possible for everybody to create art (for certain definitions of art). That’s the same thing the printing press made possible, it lowered the barriers to anybody creating their own publication. The parallels are extremely numerous and striking, for those without a preexisting bias.

Prompting a machine isn’t creating art any more than commissioning an artist is creating art. Writers still had to actually write books to print, AI removes everything between the initial idea and the final product.

There’s a thousand Benedictine monks who said the same thing at the thought of an unadorned, unillustrated stack of paper stapled together.

You’d have a point if the printing presses only put out randomized, meaningless chicken scratch, but instead you’re conflating how art is presented with the art itself.
