Good to know you support people doing more work for free despite the fact they may not want to.
“You didn’t agree with what I said so now you’re bad!”
Should I just point you back up toward the posts that explain how these AI image generating tools are being sued for copyright abuses? I don’t think my point about how there’s a world of difference between a computer putting things in a database and splicing them haphazardly together and an artist taking inspiration (i.e. looking at something and putting in the effort to learn from it) requires much elaboration.
A closer comparison to what you’re trying to claim would be art tracing, which is when an artist uses the outline of someone else’s piece and slaps a fresh coat of paint on it (a very simplified summary). But even that requires more skill than typing “my OC in van gogh’s style :)” into a generator.
Weird whataboutism really, but sure. I suppose I would prefer robots to be on the front lines of a conflict rather than seeing people murdered in war, yeah.

And that’s the problem. You’re trying to disconnect art from the human experience when it’s in fact so intrinsic to what and who we are.
If I know what the artist went through when painting or sculpting something, it elevates it because there’s a human element to it.

I consider myself more of a socialist/light-commie, you’d be surprised but I am infact unionised.
Presumed adult throws temper tantrum more news at 11.
And yet you say AA team should do something that may take a decent amount of effort, for no recompense, even if they may not have the time or energy to do it.
No, I just consider it funny how you’re incapable of grasping someone not switching their opinion to align with yours after you explained your stance.
If you volunteer to run a website or other such thing then you also sign up to vet out undesired or unwanted stuff, such as AI art. It comes with the position.
It’s almost like being a volunteer means you signed up to do free work, doubly so for a moderation position 
Yeah my stance is AI is unethical and should not be on a website anywhere.
Sorry I fight against things that threaten peoples livelyhoods when they’re still being mostly paid pennies for the work they are supposed to do.
Funny how that works huh.
I’m not trying to disconnect it - It’s disconnecting itself.
If people can’t (and they won’t be) able to distinguish digital AI art from regular art in the future, who is the one disconnecting them?
You can kick and scream and shout it is not real art- And yet, you look upon the two examples above, they are able to masquerade as such and invoke the exact same feelings as “normal” art does.
Several of the AI pieces I have also seen are way better than the equilevalent human ones.
If it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, walks like a duck, and people generally refer to it as duck- It probably is a duck.
Or maybe not.
I’m a hobbyist traditional painter, and even we aren’t safe lmao:
Although a robot like this costs an arm and a leg, while every yokel can grab one of those programs to generate a digital piece.

I love the taste of entitlement in the morning.
Do you also fight against automation in industry and agriculture then? Or in the army, as Moridunum mentioned?
Well I would preferably be made aware that it’s an AI-generated picture, in which case it wouldn’t invoke the same feeling. I guess that’s another thing for the lawmakers.
What’s considered “better than” is highly subjective.
Tell me you’ve never worked a volunteer position without telling me you’ve never worked a volunteer position.
Those are different fields and aren’t exactly comparable, but to answer truthfully:
Agriculture, will depend on WHAT gets automated as most of it is already semi or fully automated as is. You still have people making sure things don’t break or to drive some machines (the semi part).
Military should either be fully abolished or automated by robots, I don’t believe war should ever be a necesity fought at the cost of human lives and I look forward to the day we only loose robots in the trenches et al.
In an ideal world stuff like the US imperialism or Russia’s assault on their neighbors would never happen, alas our world is not there.
So you do in fact support replacement of some jobs by artificial intelligence, even if people in those jobs may lose their livelihood because of that.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Sure, I will be a hypocrite at the cost of looks at smudged writing on hand saving human lives.
Art is a luxury btw

Most militaries aren’t in active combat and even if they happen to be in one, most soldiers are support personnel (I believe the ratio is 1:3).
I would too, but how do you enforce that?
There was a french michelin restaurant a few years ago that prided itself as handmaking and picking all the ingredients, making their own stock etc - For the meals. And for several years, people praised this restaurant.
It was revealed a few years ago that in fact they used half-prepared food for their meals. And what do you know, their reviews went bottoms up ans they lost their michelin status.
But before that depacle, it was apparently a grand place to eat at. Until it wasn’t.
Some food for thought.
Indeed. That is what I think makes art art to me: It invokes some kind of thought or feeling or makes me stop to appreciate it.
Whenever you walk by a robot lawnmower, tell them they’re doing a good job
Trust me, they’ll put in a good word for you when the time comes
For the Machine is immortal…

Mandatory digital watermarking. Once again I’ll leave that to the lawmakers.
Because we appreciate it when a lot of time and dedication is put into a craft that is intrinsically human, such as cooking or creating art.

I stand by what I said, in an ideal world we wouldn’t even have a military.
I still believe it’s a good thing to replace actual soldiers with robots even if it’s only a third of the force.
