Yes, an-caps lol famous for standing up for small time by commission digital artists trying to avoid exploitation of their creations. Totally yup you got me. All my criticism of corporations and pointing how AI art specifically benefits corporations at the detriment of actual human beings is very ancap of me.

You ignore the consequences of the kind of unregulated capitalism ownership of ideas would bring, and favor the interests of the privileged and the selfish.

Your whole bit about a new owner class is just, so far out there I don’t even know what you’re on. I don’t have time to try and work through the justifications for why you think that you’re entitled to make a mimic program for other peoples stuff. Not just to do it, but to claim that it makes you an artist.

I’ve already explained it multiple times, after you supposedly read the article I linked that explains it too, and I never claimed to be an artist.

Sorry but nah you’re in the minority here. In this specific community in this specific space your voice is overrepresented. I’ve never met another person who agrees that our prototypical Charlotte and others like her are demonic overlords of the new ruling class who are seeking to subvert creativity and lock it in their hands. God, most of the artists I know willingly train others and a lot of them make content to train others. Now you’re essentially complaining that you can’t draw lmao like it’s just ridiculous. I can’t draw either, that’s fine I don’t want to put in the work to be able to create real visual art. I can live with that. I wouldn’t use an ethically sourced AI image generator anyway, as it’s literally an elaborate RNG function with a mimicry algorithm attached to it. It has no meaning and is empty.

What Charlotte wants is detrimental to everyone else and herself. No one should own ideas.

Like typing “a cool painting” into bing image generator, which then tries its best to copy other real paintings made by real people, makes you an artist somehow. It doesn’t. And you’re not going to convince me of that, of all people. Let alone the majority of society who definitely do not agree that that makes you an artist, or that it makes it right to scrape images from artists like that.

Never mentioned wanting to be an artist. You’re either projecting on to me or just plain putting words in my mouth. I also don’t use Bing Image creator.

Also the bit about me deeming people to have talent is just stupid. I’m not judging their artistic ability, I’m saying they’re literally not making art they’re not showcasing any artistic ability whether I think it’s good or not.

This is just more snobbery. People don’t need to conform to your standards of artistic ability to make art.
