A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

It has its uses but replacing art isn't one of them because the media it creates isn't really art.
Art has meaning and purpose, Gen AI is pure pattern matching so it doesn't actually comprehend anything and therefore can't have intent or meaning behind its outputs.
Exactly. Gen AI is just a more complex version of the magic wand tool. In a better world where it wasn't made with unethically sourced training material, I would even go right ahead and suggest it as a useful tool for artists for stuff like storyboarding or blocking out compositions.
But it is made unethically and for the specific purpose of preventing artists from receiving what they're owed for the work that they do or for replacing their jobs with something of lesser quality because it's cheaper, so I can't and won't willingly support it.
