In a post-scarcity solarpunk future, I could imagine some reasonable uses, but that’s not the world we’re living in yet.


AI art has already poisoned the creative environment. I commissioned an artist for my latest solarpunk novel, and they used AI without telling me. I had to scrap that illustration. Then the next person I tried to hire claimed they could do the work without AI but in fact they could not.

All that is to say, fuck generative AI and fuck capitalism!

Is this what Penny Arcade looks like nowadays? Man I really dislike the shift in art style…Tycho looks grotesque

the first rule of the server is to be constructive, you may want to keep that in mind when posting

control of ai by capital is bad, we all know that on this server; what are the next steps then? this is what solarpunks should ask themselves (first of all they -artists- prob need to unionize their workplace, for those not freelance, to ensure their jobs)

also those artists who used ai without telling you just want to get by their lives and are costrained by the system as you and as me

Sounds like if you want to be able to actually protect yourself from potential infringement, you're going to require your artists to record themselves creating the art the entire process. And that video itself would be part of your defense

Okay, so the talk show host is supposed to be the comic author. Who is the woman supposed to be?

Is stealing the right word to use? Or would it be more accurate to say ‘scraping’ or ‘unauthorized use’?
