Comment on Xbox Slammed For AI-Generated Art Promoting Indie Games
Xanthrax@lemmy.world 11 months agoThe art and images the ai is based off of are stolen. That’s the main issue. I want to see AI pushed forward, but not when they’re scraping data and not crediting artists.

Every artist uses copyrighted images to learn how to create their own work. Just because AI does it better and faster doesn’t make that any different.

It does make it different by virtue of sheer scale and efficiency.
A single human artist, no matter how good and fast they are, could ever singlehandedly damage the livelihoods of millions of other human artists. But a machine can. That’s a meaningful distinction.
Granted, your point is valid in its purest sense. If we lived in a world where everyone could benefit from AI art without the real-world downsides, I’d agree with you, full stop. But we do, and those ramifications matter.

I think basically every industry has been dealing with automation for 100 years now. Art is only unique (imo) in that they’ve been avoiding it for awhile. That’s why I only ride in vehicles where every part is hand made and assembled.

We’re far past the era of cottage industries. We live in a world that exists because of automation. Be angry at the game (capitalism), not the players.
