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 a false equivalent and you know it. Despite the current US administration being bought by the oil barons, green energy is trending upwards. Maybe not as fast as it needs to, but oil’s days are already numbered.

    With AI it’s the exact opposite. We have kids growing up with ubiquitous access to it. The normalization of AI use is what’s trending upwards.
