01: A girl labeled 'Artists' is holding a drawing tablet and pen under her arm. She is wearing round glasses and a blue sweatshirt. She has messy dark-brown hair and a brown skin-tone. She says "We don't really wanna MAKE A.I. art."
02: A guy labeled 'Art Enjoyers' holds his hand out while speaking. She is wearing a purple and yellow hawaiian shirt with a floral pattern over a white t-shirt, and has red hair and a light skin-tone. He says "We don't really wanna SEE A.I. art."
03: Behind them both, there is a cute girl in a business suit with a pink tie. She is blushing a bit and has pink eyeshadow, and looks upset. Her messy shoulder-length hair is parted in the middle, and held by two hairclips: one that looks like a red arrow pointing down, and one that looks like a green arrow pointing up. She says "Um ... I-Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?" She is labeled 'Shareholders'.
04: She puffs up her cheeks and pouts, a tear is on the verge of falling from one of her eyes. 'Artist Enjoyers' Guy is now in front of her yelling "AH!! SHAREHOLDERS-CHAN!!" while 'Artists' Girl is in front of her yelling "WE'RE SORRY WE HURT YOU!!!!"
Im conflicted. I mean good for you. But I have a deeper caring of art and media than that, so I care about the creator. The gibbity that Elmo told to make a nazi musical doesn't appeal to me.
So if you encounter art that you don't know its origin of, you can't like it?
No, but I will learn more about it and make more decisions based on that. Just like how some people wont listen to kid rock even if they like the music (which i can't imagine but whatever). Or wont buy a product because nestle kills babies. I think its called actually having principles.
Hopefully the lesson people learn from this is that the Internet was never as genuine as it presents and we can leave the people who want AI art to their devices and emphasize private, personal art including the social experience of it.
I agree!
