Your comment makes sense IMO.

To make an enormous simplification, it’s like those who screamed “rape!” because someone had looked (in a wrong way) at them. It removes the credibility of real rape.

Sorry, it’s early and I couldn’t find a nicer analogy, I posted it anyways because it’s an important distinction IMO, “AI” isn’t burning the planet or taking your jobs, some saves your grandma from cancer, LLM and image generators does.

Also, and this is only what I think, Art is also used in this way, some person drawing a panda for some company is now an Artist. I mean maybe they are but that panda can be made by a image generator (if it can be done cheaply) and free up their creative potential to do other things.

And also, it’s not like someone has a plan how to make things better, it’s just “forbid it” (good luck with that) or being angry online.

The world is black and white for many people.
