Ai does not just affect Americans.
Here’s a petition from Latin American artists.
A summit for Latin American artists, EU, Japan, SE Asia.
And anecdotally, I’ve heard from artists in other countries too. How it’s affecting them and their workplace/livelihoods. So it’s not just Americans complaining, AI will probably screw over the global south more than the global north.
Didn’t realize a lot of yall hated artists so much, so much for workers solidarity.
Does a person know how to create a new dish or know how to better the flavour if all they do is microwave frozen food? I feel the creation of such a shortcut will destroy fundamental skills in the next generation (same with writing currently, as students are getting AI to write/cheat essays).
However, I want to bring up the counterpoint that under capitalism, art is already being maximally removed from public life and either reduced to marketable commodities, or confined to private spaces as a hobby, and this has nothing to do with any influence on behalf of AI.
I fail so see how artists can get better at art without dedicating most of their time to it (ie; creating bad art sometimes for their job). Sorry if this comes off as dick-ish.
Yeah they have the audacity to invade our space and then complain, and when we try to tell them to have an open mind, they respond with “tankes”.
