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.

Naah. I love technology too much.
Artists are not endangered.
“Artists” who create nothing but non-unique, meaningless content and were hoping they can earn money this way for the next 40 years, are heavily endangered.
AI gan generate an XKCD comic. Or a somg Metallica would write. But both are worthless.
So if you are scared of GenAI, you were not that important to society in the first place.
You have tossed a Metallica song and an XKCD into the same bucket and declared the whole genera of translating present human experience into material expression as worthless. It doesn’t even seem you even believe that economically profitable art is worthwhile which even the most greedy bastards agree is worthwhile.
I’m going to guess you must be one of those transhumanists who hates themselves so much they believe being alive somehow only acceptable if you bring about the extinction of humanity via a technological apocalypse. Am i close? I’m honestly a little at a loss as to what you would believe to produce those words
Actually not, but what a great idea! Now I invest even more into LLM corporations.
