For example, it shouldn’t try to make redundant the work of artists that enjoy making art, or hobbyists that enjoy writing code. If there is too much demand for these services, then technology can be used to compensate for the part that these work enjoying people can’t provide, but technology shouldn’t make their work redundant.

no, because that is compensating for demand that can’t be fillled by people that enjoy what they’re doing

So duh? Art school is something I can’t do, neither in terms of money nor time, there is no one to help me, teach me and there is no way for me to learn economically, and the few meme making chops I got in PS just don’t cut it alone, so why not have a tool that helps out?
Especially when it’s in the public library form that imagegen AI like SD is, open weight, open source, locally run, libre and free as in free beer with tons of additional apps built by volunteers like Automatic1111.

I don’t get what you’re saying. I just said I support tools that help you out

It isn’t replacing artists. It’s a tool that makes it easier for everyone.
Meaning the competition increases and prices drop.

Sure AI doesn’t replace artist. But corps replace artists with AI.

Well cooperations usually just pay enough that the job gets done.
Meaning before we had underpaid artists that did it because they love their work and accepted inhumane wages and now they are replaced by even cheaper AI.

That’s still worse.
