PAY ARTISTS !!

Why is this thread about isolated tribes now-nya?

I read the post and it boiled down to "you brought AI onto yourselves because you don't want to work for right-wingers", which is honestly a commendable stance on the artist's part. AI is the favorite tool of fascists for a reason, no decent artist wants to work with them.

You kind of lost me here, with the way you've politicized AI usage. At risk of getting into a political debate (not my intent), fascist political systems have always germinated from left wing social disestablishment movements. Not sure how that historical fact's been subverted by the contemporary ethos. Is it because, "right-wing equals bad, and fascism equals bad, so ergo, "right-wing equals fascism?"

Anyway.... what are you saying?

In the end nothing more than that the artist sticking up for their principles was good, and saying that artists deserve AI because some of them are trying to do their job ethically is some loser shit.

You lost me again.

We're trying to commission this ethical and saintly artist to give him the work and thereby give Stable Diffusion less. Starve the Great Satan (AI) by giving more work to humans. Win-win for this artist. And if he lines up a few successful commercial commissions, meets his deadlines, and makes his customers happy, then someday, maybe he can pick and choose. Meanwhile he gets out of Mom's basement or out from under the corrugated box he's living in, and the landlord has cash money.

But he's going to turn that future down, because he happens to stand on the wrong side of an opinion that splits his society more or less 50:50?

Don't know where some of you are from, but it must be nice to be born and raised in a place where one has the luxury to be able to think that way. A place where one can slack through life, with assurance of three meals a day and a bed, while grasping on some inane justification for doing and producing nothing. There are seven billion people on this jolly globe, and six point nine billion of them either earn their next meal or starve. TinaMigario's artist friend? He is damn lucky. That dude won the lottery. He could be out there working, selling his art, actively resisting the AI juggernaut. But no, he's gonna sit this one out. Above it all, like a fat pink know-it-all Buddha. Smiling his superior smarmy smile. And he'll suckle parasitically on everyone around him, fat and replete, superior in the knowledge that he was right all along, while AI takes over the world and becomes taskmaster to us all. Good for him. Good job.

lol that was fun
