i feel like i'm losing my mind why has the AI debate pivoted away from material/labor concerns back to debates about Real vs Fake Art. cannot express just how little i care about relitigating Art and high art and low art and skilled vs unskilled art. what i care about is the treatment and compensation of workers, the power corporations are exerting over intellectual property and creators, the continued extraction of resources, and the omnipresent glut of spam and disinformation with few regulations and resources that filter out the SEO AI generated nonsense
"artists" really seem to believe they are a superior class of citizens in society , as opposed to just "person who makes art"
Art is either something all humans can inherently do through every facet of living as a human being, or it is a hyper specific craft that only the chosen few can understand and produce. It can't be both.
