Has it been long enough that we can all admit a lot of the backlash we all had to AI art was kneejerk and that we should have fully directed our anger at the shitheads who intended to use it for a quick buck by either selling the results it spits out after typing 'beautiful angel in the style or george rutko with well drawn hands' in the prompt at a markup and call it 'original creative work' or by cutting real human artists out of the equation in commercial settings in favor of having an underpaid intern type prompts into dall-e until they get something good enough they can use as a publishable graphic

#spitblaze says things #the problem #as always #is capitalism #and not the tools and methods at work #ive seen actual artists use AI Art to make beautiful impossible spaces #and lord knows i think its VERY funny to just make up new muppets #and i will admit that ive probably also been going in on this #but i have always drawn the line at formal regulation #look. the first time I saw someone say 'you need to have arguments that wouldnt also throw artists that photomash or musicians that sample #under the bus'#and they're RIGHT #Its very easy to blame the tool. blame the method. blame the dataset #its harder to admit that the issue is that people are trying to undercut your livelihood #and that you're scared and upset by it #and frankly. i am. im scared and upset #and while im pretty sure commerical interest will die down after realizing they cant copyright any of it #its very hard in the now to watch so many people look at what you do and be..#mad at you? because you can do it? and act like this tool makes them equally talented or w/e?#its...weird. and i dont like it. i cant think of a way to put it that doesnt make me sound like a snob #i dont like these people acting like having this tool makes them just as good at MY job #as ME who has beem practicing and honing my skills all my life #i dont like it. it makes me uncomfortable #and like. this is different than people who have no means of making art otherwise #people with physical or mental disabilities that make it unfeasible to pick up a pencil or tablet pwn and just draw #this is about able bodied able minded adults who resent me for having a honed craft #dont like that #idk where im going with this #tech bros suck #capitalists suck

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

#socialist #socialism #communism #anti capitalism #the belief that we won’t work under capitalism genuinely makes me so mad #like #you realize the goal of social reform is to abolish imperialism right?#there won’t be good just showing up out of nowhere without slavery and/or imperialism
