Reply to comment by Baron_Samedi_ in Clip Studio gives up under pressure by Sieventer

I guarantee that if an image model that tought itself art existed, artists would react in the same way. It's fine, that's human nature, but does reveal their intentions are not in favor of democratizing access to creative expression.

Access to creative expression has always been democratized. Pick up a box of crayons, start drawing. It is that simple.

You know what is funny? The way big tech is framing this as a "David VS Goliath" issue - with independent artists portrayed as this monolith stopping the masses from creative self expression, while $billion valued tech companies are here to save the little guy... by taking the creative process upon themselves.

Stop and think about the implications of global corporations monopolizing creative processes.

Monopolizing how? Through... open sourcing?

Regardless, creating high quality pieces of art take years of practice. AI imagery gets rid of that burden.

Midjourney and DALL-E are not open source. And they are heavily censored. Creative freedom makes creative minds make free societies.

I give Stable Diffusion just a short while longer before they go all-in on a for-profit model. Those investors are going to want a return, sooner or later.

Why should I begrudge them the money, Stable diffusion is going to *save* me time and effort that I would have put into creating art the old fashioned way. That is worth a lot to me. I believe they should get paid. A LOT.

While you dream of a future where art is controlled by you and companies like Disney.

*I welcome people to look at this guy's other comments. That's literally what he believes.

Are you blind, illiterate, or high as a kite? Where the hell did I say that Disney and I should control the future of art? Quit following me around and harassing me, you fucking weirdo.

Tell me again how you are a representative of the "creative folk" and how we're forever beholden to you.

Tell me again why I need to go to a "publishing house" for a good dose of Disney+AI.
