The reason I actually responded to you’re comment is because it was long and interesting so I thought I could get a nice discussion out of it. I’m glad to have been correct.

I didn’t come across as you trying to police AI. You were just being very critical of a tool that I think has a lot of uses. I was trying to bring an alternate point of view to the discussion.

I also don’t believe in artistic disability, my example wasn’t about being unable to make art, it was about making art being just difficult enough for someone that they don’t want to try. Perfection only exists in tightly defined systems, art most certainly cannot be perfect. But I do think some people have who are capable of art don’t wish to learn how do make it to the degree that they can express what they want. I’m not saying they don’t have ability. I’m saying they don’t have the desire.

And even then you can use GenAI do only to small parts of your piece. An artist I follow used GenAI to create videos for their music. The creator of this meme uses it to create small intro pictures for their blog. GenAI has uses in the hands of creative people as well.

I’m an anarchist. As soon as you talk about corporations and value I point to the meme this discussion is under.

Also I don’t use GenAI. I made a couple of pictures and did try to touch them up in order to actually be presentable but in the end it just didn’t work out. I do have a drawing tablet and use it to make drawings. I’ve posted them in my community lemm.ee/c/anaval. I also know the basics of playing a bass guitar. I’m not defending GenAI out of my own need, but because I see potential in it for others.

and like I said previously It’s made some stuff that I really love.
