Artists who oppose AI shouldn’t be allowed to use calculators.
They don’t get to shit on anyone bad at art, while they can’t do basic math without technological help.
People can do math without calculators; holy stupid.
Everyone can do complex math by hand?
lol how much complex math are people using day to day? You know what functions are on a basic calculator right?
Once again, stupid.
Are scientific calculators not a thing now? Are computers no longer performing complex calculations?
The term “computers” used to refer to people who performed calculations all day. The machines do the job so well now, most people don’t even know it used to refer to a human profession.
The problem isn’t machines replicating human skill sets. It’s that those machines are controlled by capitalists.
I still stand by Generative AI being a useful tool. It's just in the hands of big unilateral corporate tech rather than a public state, and artists depend on IP laws to gain profits to live, rather than being supported by a robust welfare state to provide art for a robust public domain.
Related, the post-WWII programs in England that fueled the Rock-&-Roll boom in the 1960s (with the invention and development of the electric guitar). Socialized art is a system that works well!
And yes, we'll probably have to collapse the current civilization and rebuild it with mutant animals before we get there. < sad, disappointed existential dread face >
