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.

    Stop it. Get some help.

    Edit: image for clarity

    Edit 2 for more clarity: Stop using generative AI and get help from artists and creatives.

        This was a reference to the MJ meme about using drugs. I’m saying people should stop using AI to replace creatives and get help from humans instead.

        Something tells me they’re using the Michael Jordan “stop it, get some help” as a representation of what the post is actually meaning to say about artists. Not that you, OP, are wrong for and need to not make this post. Poorly communicated, at least lol
