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.

No.
For one art is not a luxury. That is a capitalist myth that tried to keep culture and basic pleasure away from the working class.
For second I want working class people to be able to produce whatever art they want however they want, without houlier-than-thou elitists telling them they can't.
If turning a a picture of you cat into studio ghibli style brings you even a brief modicum of joy, then you go do that and you shouldn't have people harassing you for doing so.
See definition 2a. Art is a luxury.
Except to achieve that joy, you have to steal from people who have to actually work. Gen AI is designed to plagiarize the work of artists for the sake of replacing them. You aren't siding with the workers, you're siding with the parasite class.
