This is a bad analogy. If in some far off future we had some magical “auto-doc” device that could heal injuries, etc., but still required someone with sufficient knowledge to operate the device, I would call them a doctor, or perhaps a medical engineer. Yes.

“Text goes in images come out” is the central conceit of the entire technology, what the hell are you talking about. The entire thing is meant to be super easy. I have used it, it does not require any special expertise.

I understand it and while it’s true, it’s also a deflection. Unless you’re an accelerationist.

Again, another thing that sounds good unless you know what you’re talking about. I paint digitally and with acrylic and oil, which isn’t that different from the methods Da Vinci would have utilized. If you wanted to paint the Mona Lisa in photoshop the expertise required is the same minus only color mixing and physical preparation and finishing. Regardless of method, saying “paint this picture for me” isn’t making art. The claim is on its face absurd. If I go to the hospital and say “heal this person” am I now a doctor?

Weird how all it takes to turn an ostensible leftist into a sneering lib condescending to an entire classification of worker is to insult their little toy.

Yes people famously get into art because they want to get rich.

The rise of CG did eliminate jobs in the SFX area. Make up, costumes, set dec, stop motion animation, animatronics, etc. But whereas someone in animatronics can retrain to use CG, there’s nowhere for an artist being replaced by a neural learning program to go. The program produces a finished end product. There is no pipeline for it to fit into. I feel like pro A.I. people are deliberately obtuse about this.

Simply taking what artists say as gospel isn’t any more rational

How about knowing what you’re talking about, is that more rational? Making a painting and taking a photograph have separate and distinct end products, so of course they’re going to fall into separate niches. If a VFX artist working for 70k a year and an AI tool that costs a 2k yearly license produce identical results, than obviously the artist’s job is going to be eliminated to reduce overhead.

artist haven’t come to many consensies about generative AI

If you posted or read anything in any artist spaces whatsoever you would know this is untrue

Every non artist who doesn’t know shit about any creative workflow always regurgitates this “it’s a tool that will empower artists” line. Every working artist who understands what they’re talking about says this will lead to the elimination of 90% of jobs and just leave one underpaid guy churning out stolen artwork at a breakneck pace.

Yeah we don’t want the rich fat cats hoarding all the digitally generated under age porn for themselves.

AI tech bros don’t create anything and probably never will. The merchant who said “please paint a picture of my wife here’s some money” didn’t create the Mona Lisa. Da Vinci, the guy who actually painted it, created the Mona Lisa.

Good. The viability of creative jobs is more important than letting some dweebs LARP as artists and make bespoke porn for themselves .

I already said that it was and y’all are just gonna pretend that it wasn’t over and over again. It’s f–ked up, man

This makes it sound like she previously did say it was a genocide?

Didn’t look at the sub and clicked this expecting reactions to the Buffalo Bills playoff loss to Kansas City.

They explicitly state that he’s not trans in the movie as well, but yes that movie was a lot of peoples first or only exposure to the idea of gender transition and that’s probably done a lot of harm.

That’s actually funny though

Our proxy war has a proxy war

In the book Snow Crash people who use VR while functioning in public are called “gargoyles” and are universally despised and mocked as try-hard dorks. It’s pretty neat to see at least one thing from the sci-fi I grew up on come true.

I don’t think they’re self harming. I read them and all I can see is “please please please please please please like me” with a little “lol jk” to make it go down an easier.

When they bother to show up and speak up it is mildly amusing. Otherwise you just look like a sycophantic dweeb.
