I am a little shocked at the lack of solidarity I see between artists working in different mediums wrt genAI.

Musicians who would never use it to make music use it to make cover art

Graphic artists reach for it to make music over their videos

Writers use it to illustrate their articles

And, considering software development an art, many use it to create web sites or apps to host their art.

None of this is necessary. All of this is harmful to the other artists.

Collaborate ffs.

Stop it.

    That’s all well and good until the tech industry do what they always do when they decide to take over and industry (e.g. taxis or delivery) and just crank up the prices once they’ve got everyone hooked.

    It’s all just subsidised by constant investment, and makes a loss of about $99 for every dollar it makes.

    What you see now as a customer is not what it will be like in a few years.
