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 know someone who does work related to performing arts and wants a website, but they have no technical skills/want to stay focused on their main interests. Contracting with someone to make one is expensive considering they don’t make much income, and nobody has time to create a website for free. Unless UBI becomes a thing, people have to be pragmatic when they rely on art as their source of income.
