I think you're misunderstanding me, I'm not going against you here.
I'm not defending being a Luddite. I have expressed that when I said that fighting against the tech is not feasible. It's like you said, it's reactionary and regressive.
I was describing that it is normal for artists to feel that way because their jobs are being taken away. Fighting against AI generated art doesn't necessarily mean wanting to destroy the tech, like I mentioned, fighting for regulation so that they can secure the bare minimum of rights to not get fucked is one way of doing it. And since by doing that they are also organizing the artists, I see it as the right way to approach this issue. I should also have mentioned that the movement I mentioned earlier, UNIDAD, talked with marxist channels on youtube for example.
I don't believe this is going against anything you talked about.
~~I don't know if you meant this to insult me or not, but I did no such thing to you, so I'll pretend I didn't read it.~~
I was being descriptive. It is a fact that current genAI makes images that have issues that need to be corrected by hand. Again I'm not talking against the tech, I'm simply listing the issues it has.
No, it means that on a technical level it is not on par yet. These models produce hallucinations and wrong outputs. Such things either end up needing to be touched up, which takes work and time to correct, or are used as is, which is currently bad, and as I said, slop.
Yes, and to achieve that you need organization. Workers organizing is a good thing since it shows them that they can fight. It them becomes easier to shows them that the issue is capitalism and that only through organization it can be toppled.
I agree completely.
No, it wasn't directed at you. I reworded it before I saw your reply, if it helps. And I upvoted your reply :)
Thanks for clarifying that, I have edit my comment to risk that line off!
