    As an artist, all y’all need to chill. The problem is capitalism, and it’s not like artists make a living anyway. Democratizing art opens up a lot of possibilities, you technophobes.

        Easy. Don’t work a job or pay rent. Anarchism already exists. It just exists in the crannies (like right in front of you) where other domineering primates don’t beat you with sticks or boss you around. You don’t fix the system. You ignore it.

        think more. if i draw something that looks nice on paper, and at the same time am fine with asking chatgpt to solve a math problem, why would my views on ai affect me being an artist or not?

          Because ChatGPT is trained on stolen data and using it for any reason is participating in that theft while simultaneously causing a significant impact to the environment.

          So I guess your right; it has no bearing on whether you’re an artist or not, but whether you’re a decent person. Thanks for clearing that up.

            Now what if you used an ai trained on uncopyrighted, public data, and made sure that the computers training it were using solar power or some environmentally friendly energy source?

                  It has the potential to be useful, yes. It isn’t currently and the path we’re on with it is already irredeemable.

            On the surface. But, you’re being rhetorical, in the original sense of the word. You can link words together but fail to do logic. You’re doing duckspeak, quack quack

        Ideas are not art.

        no one has had an original idea since the early 20th century.

        The early 20th century? I’d say physical philosophy would beg to differ, and do you see how you just killed your own argument by citing a time period? I think ideas don’t have value and that intellectual property stifles innovation. You had me in the first half, where I assumed you meant that people don’t just intuit new ideas from nowhere, then you cited a date and lost me.

          do you see how you just killed your own argument by citing a time period?

          no. all art prior to that period was just refinement of forms that go back to pre-history. the 20th century introduced ‘modern art’, which basically solidified the idea that anything can be art.
