AI art steals from the poor and has no place in modern society (slrpnk.net)

In a post-scarcity solarpunk future, I could imagine some reasonable uses, but that’s not the world we’re living in yet.

 AI art has already poisoned the creative environment. I commissioned an artist for my latest solarpunk novel, and they used AI without telling me. I had to scrap that illustration. Then the next person I tried to hire claimed they could do the work without AI but in fact they could not.

All that is to say, fuck generative AI and fuck capitalism!

Yes, generative AI is snake oil, but that is a question of scope and power and speculation, not utility of easy to create pictures.

"Sure, AI can't fully replace human artists, but that's just because the technology hasn't advanced far enough yet."
