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.

Can also be that people react badly to AI in areas where they have some knowledge and taste, but are too ignorant to care in other areas. I’m a prolific reader and (imho) an ok writer, so I’m revolted by AI slop in written text. But I’m a moron when it comes to art, so I’m I haven’t been too bothered by AI art per se. Of course that it comes from chewing up and spitting out human artists’ work is revolting too, but that’s separate and more distant.
