Comment on The Fear Of AI Just Killed A Very Useful Tool
brap_gobbo@lemmy.world 1 year agoAs someone who has been obsessed with learning about art, technology, and business my entire life, your attitude reflects the dollar-seeking and exploitative behaviors in upper corporate America I have seen and dealt with many times. It’s one of the reasons why I left it.
It’s not hard to be an artist. Every human being with the ability to express themselves in some way is an artist. You are cheaply wanting to skip the steps of either developing your own skills or hiring someone else to create art for you. You are contributing to a world where artists are learning that they should not openly share their creations because it’ll be taken from them, ripped into pieces, and used for profit while they get nothing. These discussions are happening right now.

I think it’s great that artists are learning not to publish if they don’t want their works remixed and transformed! You can just enjoy your work locally, share it in a closed circle, nice and intimate. Or publish it and let the globe do with it wat they want. I think this is much better for art culture than the current copyright rules (which are also made mostly by corpo murica)
It might not be hard for you to be an image producing artist, but it will be to some. Pretty weird to just wave that away as if everyone that is not able to produce something like that is either lazy or an idiot.
