I fully agree with you. However, there's no point bringing it up here in this echo chamber of luddites. They're deathly afraid of ai (for no real reason), and it really shows.
I'm not afraid of AI and I'm certainly not a luddite my friend. I used to lecture about technology in art on several university courses.
I've used algorithms to generate work that has been shown on an international stage, and used computers to run massive participatory art shows.
I currently work in publishing, and I can't express how much AI has already impacted the landscape through generative text. It doesn't compete with traditional authors, it just smothers them through sheer volume. It clogs up submission processes and it fills open calls... And nearly every one using generative methods thinks they should be called an "author" just because they put a few words into a prompt.
There really is a reason I hold this point if view and it is based on experience and education as well as being part of an industry that this is already having an impact on.
If you want me to take you seriously, I'm going to need some real discussion around the firm that goes beyond name calling and vague statements.
I honestly don't give a fuck whether you take me seriously or not. As a luddite and technophobe, your opinion means less than nothing to me.
Doesn't change the fact that you're afraid of AI though. It is gonna change things, and just because you're afraid of it isn't going to stop it. I suggest you learn to adapt.
Bet you are into NFTs too, huh?
Not really. Were you?
Nah this is just an epidemic of lazy people who want the credit of being called an artist without putting in any of the work.
Nah its an epidemic of cowards who are afraid of things they don't understand. Here's some advice. Educate yourself, and maybe try to understand things before making stupid statements.
lol imagine being scared of autocomplete. What a time to be alive.
