"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Is it out of nothing, though? I have very strong feelings against current copyright laws. This is based on my belief that human artists do not create things out of nothing. They are standing on the shoulders of society, which gave them the experience, framework and tools to create art. And thus everything they created should, after some period, belong again to society. There are still enough other reasons to hate AI.
The artists are looking at the blank canvas, be it digital, real, or methaphorical like a piece of stone or 3D square, and then proceed to express themselves through it. Their ideas, emotions, vision, their perception of the world.
You, my dear, do not have hold of any of it. You may have a hold on their canvas, tools of creation, sources their learned they craft on (although with self-taughts, not even that may be true), but you do not hold any of the main reasons art happenes - their soul, let's say. they do not owe that to anyone or anything.
Sorry if I sound aggressive just...the notion that society owns something so personal as art? No.
Only in terms of copyright and for published art. And I absolutely stand by my belief that your copyright needs to be limited to like 10 years and after that it becomes public domain.
I do draw myself, on a purely amateur level. And I don't like this notion that artists create something out of thin air. That's simply bullshit. Any artist is deeply influenced by their upbringing and personal tastes and that's what ends up on whatever medium they choose.
