All the AI fans who pretend it’s no big deal all mention some vague utopian ideas of UBI or that magically the jobs of artists will simply be handed over to prompt-diddlers, yet they never seem to give a fuck about actually creating or furthering or developing or producing any supposed potential solutions… just happily typing in the names of their favorite artists mashed up with their favorite IPs and gleefully posting their regurgitated art that was created by the AI as if they had any talent or skill or input whatsoever.

All these people pretending that the mangled watermarks and signature blocks aren’t clear and obvious evidence that the original creators wanted credit and compensation for their work as they make excuses and hide behind legal loopholes.

Every time someone types in an artist’s name into the prompt they must lobotomize themselves a tiny bit to pretend they aren’t explicitly removing consent from the very artists they pretend to admire
