Generative AI

I don't trust that thing at all.

And yet......AI gives us zingers like this one.

Shit like this annoys me. It's - by itself - a funny idea and Kate looks so happy! But the mindset and thinking behind this scenario are so unpleasant it's not really funny at all.

Also, Burnham is in the completely wrong outfit. Ugh.
 
I was searching "Joe Classified" on Amazon, looking for any new deals, and the Rufus AI popped up to aid me in my search by showing me the same shit shown in the search I performed myself. And kept popping up. So I contacted customer service just to be a Karen about it. Like, I know Amazon is awful and evil, but if you're also gonna be a pain in the ass that may be a bridge too far.

My brother is in computer animation. He currently has a 6 mont gig teaching AI to do computer animation.

In 10 years, probably less, no human will be creating any kind of artwork for any company. The Disney animated blockbusters will all be AI, Marvel comics will all be AI (the art for sure, but probably the writing too). If humans had a difficult time getting a paying job doing art before, it will be impossible now. Human artwork of any kind will be strictly recreational, done on their own time for zero profit. It's sad.

People in publishing are getting up in arms about something new every day and I'm over here like guys, which print distributor you use is the smallest fish to fry right now, we're not going to be able to make a penny off books in a few years because of the signal to noise factor. Selling books at B&N or Amazon won't matter when Disney is flooding the market with authorless slop and people aren't good enough readers to tell the difference, which is where we're at right now.

I don't quite believe things will get to that stage for a couple of reasons. Deleting all non-recreational art would imply a level of functional AI that just isn't on offer. If it was, there would be a lot more at stake than art. That said, it is indeed likely to be a bad time in the arts for a lot of people. The biggest threat of generative AI isn't that it can actually replace everyone's job, it simply can't, it's that AI can be used to marginalize creators to the point where art as a career is effectively untenable because most of the gigs will be correcting AI's shitty outputs.
 
With as little offense to Joe and his brother as possible, we also have to stop blaming corporations as faceless entities for this.
PEOPLE develop these systems. PEOPLE are accepting money to train AI. PEOPLE are selling each other out for a few fucking dollars from the giant corporation that wants all of our creativity to be obsolete. So when large corporations are destroying the arts, let's try not to forget that it was regular people acting as class traitors and corporate simps that even made it possible.
 
AI art won't take hold if the audiences don't accept it. But that requires people to actually step up and demand better. If audiences refuse it the bubble will burst. Also AI doesn't make anything new, it just iterates, so AI companies will still need humans to abuse and steal labor from, it's what the entire industry is built on right now. (Again, 9 of my 11 books are in the Anthropic suit and I'm a nobody - those companies have just committed the greatest intellectual property heist in the history of mankind and nobody gives a flying fuck except the people harmed by it.)

I do think AI will be leveraged to fuck every single artist out of a livable wage though. Most days lately I wish I was 40 years older so I know I wouldn't live long enough to see this through to the end. I don't want to live in a world this ethically and creatively bankrupt. I'm tired of it. Every career I've ever had has been fucked up the ass by the investor class my entire life.
