I am a little shocked at the lack of solidarity I see between artists working in different mediums wrt genAI.
Musicians who would never use it to make music use it to make cover art
Graphic artists reach for it to make music over their videos
Writers use it to illustrate their articles
And, considering software development an art, many use it to create web sites or apps to host their art.
None of this is necessary. All of this is harmful to the other artists.
Collaborate ffs.
Stop it.

I was thinking about something..
Like text books used to have illustrated artist rendition depictions of things. They weren't the real thing but people kind of accept them as the real thing in a way. I guess like ancient times and dinosaurs... A lot of how it's presented in artist rendition. But now Ai does it... So it like a photo copy of a photo copy. It adds another layer of not being real.
I started thinking about this because I did a search on YouTube recently and almost everything was ai created.
It's getting fucked up fast.
I see tons and tons of content not created by AI on YouTube, so not "everything". It might be a reflection of whatever you searched for.
