Comment on Not everything needs to be Art

So it’s more of an ethical “someone somewhere is probably being plagiarized and that’s bad” thing and not really a business or pragmatic decision. I guess I can get that but can’t see many people following through with that.
Some people got mad at a podcast I follow because they use AI generated episode covers. Which is funny because they absolutely wouldn’t be paying an artist for that work, it’d just be the same cover, so not like they switched from paying someone to not paying them.

The issue isn’t similar to using other people’s data for profit. It’s easy to not feel that’s the case because “it’s the AI that does that, not me.”
There’s a lot of concerns around it. Mine is that it stagnates and we have longer periods of style with minimal variety because of artist stagnation due to lack of financial backing. Though, this is for all gen AI as it depends on humans for progression, else it stagnates. People are already getting AI art.fatigue because it feels like that old 2000–2015 Adobe Illustratorgradient vector art—it would be brming with that shit. It depends on more artists progressing our art to be able to do the same. But it won’t do that as fast if art.culture.is slowed due to lack of support.
