I’ve been reading about the user revolt on the Twin Peaks subreddit calling for a ban on AI art. As best I can tell we don’t really have people posting AI stuff here yet, but I’m wondering if it would be a good idea to ban it before it becomes a problem. I’m soliciting feedback from y’all on this, please let me know what you prefer.
I’m afraid it’s not an excuse but the reality. Whatever the reason one does content for, whether it’s additional income, trying to change career or just clout, without reach you don’t have an audience. In order to have reach, someone has to choose to click on that link in the feed. I am sure that an image does help with that And stock art places often either have non-stock art pirated anyway, or there’s nothing in there
Just because you generally need a cover image doesn’t mean that it’s good to support systems whose primary use case is to drive real artists into hiding.
Sure. But wouldn’t such rule mean we dismiss also those who do bring something to the table but just try to get anyone’s attention?
Not if they don’t scam people to get that attention.
I’m afraid that’s a very high bar ATM
It’s meant to be a high bar forever.
“Generative AI” is a scam perpetrated by people who hate artists, while envying their capacity to create art, while also not understanding what art really is. Period.
I think https://piefed.zip/post/511096#comment_1614098 also addresses this point
