    Ah yes, because the favorite part of the process for every artist is the hours spent going back and forth with their client touching up the most minor details instead of creating art they actually want to make…

    Idk, I feel AI art only affects commercial artists who first and foremost care about making money off their art form. The ones that actually make art for the love of the craft (without expectation of getting anything in return) aren’t really affected in any way.

    TL;DR Let UBI free artists from the capitalistic yoke and let the oligarchs use AI to automate the soulless part of art creation that nobody enjoys anyways.

      In what world is it a bad thing for someone to get paid for their skills? That’s a bizarre spin to put on it.

      And yes, UBI should definitely happen, but we shouldn’t start painting the world with crap to do it.

        It’s fine to get paid for your skills, but from experience I can say that developing skills just to get paid is also rather soulless.

        Since, sure, I can bet there’re furry artists that love drawing sexy tigers to bits, but I can guarantee there’s a not-so-small percentage that would much rather draw something else, but the yiffing money is too good to pass up on.

        Being paid for your skills is service, not art. It can be art when your audience’s money isn’t the director.

      Yeah, service isn’t art. If you’re making “art” for someone else’s money, you’re performing a service. You’re not an artist. Remember when YouTube was mostly just people getting their ideas out and going viral was because something was awesome instead of being designed to spread? Now it’s every kid and their grandma trying to be an influencer so they can have fun with other people’s money for a living.

      When what you’re doing isn’t for the clients’ money, it can be art. There’s no constraint this way.
