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.

I was triggered by that statement too and about to throw a rant, but I think they mean it like “creating a webpage”, using stuff like wordpress and the like, because they’re an artist who wants to show off their portfolio or something.
There’s a lot of “DIY” that abstracts away the actual programming part, so others can just build what they need easily.
