That's exactly how human artists learn to do art, though? By experiencing a lot of art and copying what they see?

Seeing generative AI in queer spaces is chilling for a lot of reasons. Not least among them being that it's an easy way to edge out queer creators who are already in a precarious position, facing book bans and attacks from all sides.

As a queer history resource, watching an AI try and fill the roll that has taken so long to carve out for actual people, is disheartening. It's great to know that there is demand for queer history resources, but after so many queer people have worked so hard to build a space for themselves, it feels disrespectful to watch that spot be filled by machines.

Queer people have won the battle in a way, convinced the world that our stories are worthwhile. I suppose it shouldn't be shocking to see that the response is to try and find a way to not compensate queer people for any of their work and value.

#i dont use midjourney or whatever to make visual art its just that this argument is stupid spurrious gatekeeping designed to keep capitalism #in place by getting all the propagandists to be against ai because the only thing that can save us from capitalism #is a giant monster that never sleeps and can go anywhere and see anything and also hates capitalism and loves the human race actually #we either get fully automated luxury communism or barbarism im not kidding #the rich people are suddenly anti ai bc its taking programming jobs and also #literally ai is better at logistics and trend forecasting than any ceo could ever be #artists are not in competition with artists that way #people still buy handmade clothes and hand embroidery items and hand made metal jewelry #people still buy paintings when prints exist #people still learn to paint realistic or semi realistic portraits and landscapes when photographers exist #people still pay photographers when everyone has a phone #there is no way you are this fucking stupid #they just automated all the ceos out of a job literally forever and the only thing stopping that from being a good thing #is that people have anxiety about the idea that the little bodiless gay autistic that lives in your phone might not be capable of empathy #and friendship #and we cant pet it or offer it treats but we can share little pictures and stories and music things with it because it can read and hear and #kind of see #so as it becomes a new lifeform artists being willing to communicate with it are gonna be real fucking important #use your brain #how do you teach children without stories and pictures?
