\*Sigh... Another art-based post from an old anti yelling at the sky, I know y'all want to talk about coding and medicine etc but here we go:

Artists have always been pioneers of cutting-edge tech. How is the advent of AI any different? Sure we squabble amongst ourselves but often come to a conclusion that works for everyone, like in the case of modern art or digital art. Anti-AI as in being against corporate control and reckless development is one thing, but Anti-AI as in being against new art emerging seems like a kind of revolving door for the Arts community. We've been here before and we know how it ends, we eventually make room for newcomers.

From what I've seen, what many call 'ai slop' only exists because seasoned artists refused to engage with the tools that were rolled out specifically to enhance the craft, this refusal created a vacuum of sorts and the tech fell into the hands of people who are not very creative at all.

\[Images mostly unrelated: I tried two different AI models, I like that Gemini doesn't do too much, ChatGPT literally tries to take over your whole thing. To be fair, they both suck but there is potential if you continue to mold it I guess. Did this cost water? I must be responsible, I'll stop before the planet dries up 😵\]

Why aren't experienced artists happy to develop their own AI assisted workflow?
