More and more artists are speaking out about the very real harm AI art is doing to them. And I'm seeing more art students considering a change in careers. Deeply saddened.
The bottom line for me. More and more artists are coming out and saying, "Look this is really hurting us. Please stop." How callous do you have to be to look at them and say "I don't really care"?
@LouAnders Well, portrait painters got really hurt by photography. Telegraph operators got really hurt by telephones. Musicians got really hurt by record players. Caligraphers got really hurt by the printing press.
Of course it sucks for everyone working in an industry with a shrinking job market as their craft turns into a luxury good. But what's the practical appeal here? Outlaw all machines that can make products cheaper?
@Yora The difference here is that the photographer is taking a picture of a portrait and passing it along with no compensation to the painter.
