#like yknow filters or some of those color tools or van gogh generator

Well in the end it comes down to recognizing when you can’t have a good faith conversation. I can understand the arguments being made and where it comes from but I fundamentally disagree with some of the foundations of these beliefs and will not budge. Nuance necessitates some alignment, I think.

#my ramblings #at this moment I don’t think you can separate the conversation of ai as a tool from the CURRENT ONGOING ethical issues #this isn’t theoretical it is right now for real being used in a specific way #if you’re curating your own datasets (??) for training (???) obviously there are ways to address it #but the major tools being used #are largely unethical full stop #and go beyond ‘unethical but you kind of can accept it and it’s necessary for day-to-day life’ #in my opinion at least #there are ai tools that can be used without exploiting artists #like yknow filters or some of those color tools or van gogh generator #van gogh’s dead so it’s not really exploitation of his art unless it’s like. I dunno. sold as if it were a commission #instead of an ai generated product #plus I feel like some of the arguments I’ve read frame things in kinda weird way #like artists are gatekeeping art rather than developing their skills #and there are unproductive ways to frame arguments that raise concerns about ai #but making it about the argument rather than the tool is missing the forest for the trees #well yknow how it is #I simply won’t see those takes anymore
