I am a little shocked at the lack of solidarity I see between artists working in different mediums wrt genAI.
Musicians who would never use it to make music use it to make cover art
Graphic artists reach for it to make music over their videos
Writers use it to illustrate their articles
And, considering software development an art, many use it to create web sites or apps to host their art.
None of this is necessary. All of this is harmful to the other artists.
Collaborate ffs.
Stop it.

That is some serious mental gymanstics just to get around outright saying “Well actually, I think there are a few things we SHOULD use slave labour and scorch the earth for…”
“GPTs as a technology have real, practical, beneficial uses for large-scale data analysis; we should prune our usage back to those.”
“Wow, so you think SLAVERY is OKAY and we should DO SLAVERY??”
In two years on this utterly grassless threadiverse I don’t think I’ve said this yet:
Touch grass.
Slave grass???!!!??? From grass slaves???!??
