      With GenAI being used primarily as a cudgel against labor, especially organized labor, it’s a pretty accurate take.

        AI is a tool.

        A tool that is being used wrong left and right because of hype.

        Where it works it works, and where it doesn’t it will break away again.

        There are many issues with AI and how it gets it’s data, etc. Yes.

        And how too many people treat it makes them to me sound like the monks who complained that the book printing press is killing the soul of books which have to be hand written.

        The way many here argua against AI is not logical bit emotional and it sucks

    If you are an artist that believes AI is going to destroy you, I’d take another look at what AI art looks like right now and if you remain worried, I’d recommend considering a less artistic career.

      The market doesn’t reward quality.
