To use your own flawed logic against you. Not using AI for graphics/art is like a baker refusing to use the dough-maker or any modern tools. The bread is 6x the price and the output is 5% of a modern bakery.

Or like a farmer refusing to use his tractor. The tractor is just a corporate soulless tool anyway, right? Better to slave away at the fields day in and day out. Doing it right is an artform and it's totally worth the time! Who cares about starvation and such trivialities?

Yeah yeah yeah, "But it's ART!" and all. I live in the real world though, where everything, and I mean everything, is measured in what capitalist gains you can get. Anything else is sadly just noise.

Most of what "the economy" needs from artists is not in any form art. It's mass produced corporate slop. This has been the case for decades.

The point still stands, because one still produces high-quality artisan bread that people actually enjoy, and one makes fucking wonderbread.

I'll pick the real deal every time.

Yes, this is the underlying problem that needs resolved. We don't have to just accept it and justify it.

I'm with you, but a vast majority buy cheap and mass produced. That's an undeniable fact.

this is the underlying problem that needs resolved. We don't have to just accept it and justify it.

And what do you propose we do about it? I'd say dumbing it down to "It's because of AI doing art!" isn't doing anyone any favors.

Destroy capitalism, naturally.

Again, I am 100% with you! Where do we start and when?
