A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

How the hell does using a drawing tablet correspond in any way, shape or form to using a generative "AI" that leeches off actual artists' skill, talent and labour?
No, don't try to argue against that question. Internalise it, and understand it.
The argument is that they are both simply tools. It's completely wrong, but that's what it is.
I think the argument is that some people can't afford a nice drawing tablet or drawing supplies, so all they have is a mouse that is "impossible" to draw with, and AI allows them to... "create". source: bottom-left post in the image
Even before generative AI I saw these arguments in music production that they had to pirate stuff because they couldn’t afford Serum/Abelton Live etc.
Never mind that there have been free digital music tools for decades now. Maybe a little clunkier but money has never been a barrier towards creating art.
