    Then maybe stop treating it like a purity signal wielded like a weapon, and judge content based on its actual quality?

    I know it’s a radical idea. But artists can use AI and also be fully emotionally invested in the process. Other artists can choose to use no AI at all. And some can even make interesting pieces that would be literally impossible without it.

    Aim your ire at corruption and greed. Not the concept itself.

      some can even make interesting pieces that would be *literally* impossible without it.

      Got a “for instance”?

        First one that comes to mind, but I’m sure there are more.

        Could this be made without AI? Yes, of course it could. But it would require a HUGE budget, and an entire studio dedicated to it.

        Is the creator hiding the fact it was AI gen? No, of course not. Would I prefer it be created with studio quality and real actors with real props? Absolutely I would. But absent that, this is still a really cool project.

          Got it. So not literally impossible.

            So is the argument that restricting people’s creativity to only be expressed if you have the finances to do so, a good thing?

            Because it is indeed literally impossible for the average person to create this without that technology.

              it’s literally impossible for the average person to become an expert at my instrument (for three more months) because my instrument costs like six figures. i have literally met three people my entire life with one, and they don’t specialize in it the way i do.

              i’m publishing the plans for an effective practice instrument that costs $300 in about three months.

              i don’t plan on charging, because people are going to get so good at my instrument. i’m currently one of the best in the world but they’ll be able to blow me out of the water in five years with good practice. I’m so excited to see what people will be able to do.
