Yeah, but here's a thing, if you want all of your art made by the middle classes and the financially secure, this is how we proceed.
With FOSS AIgen tools like Stable Diffusion and copyright free community resources like https://www.civitai.com? Express yourself. Referral link if you want to make something: https://civitai.com/login?ref_code=LOR-IYG
My man are you paid to advertise these guys?
You plugged them on every reply lmao.
I'm confused, are you against independent artists using copyright free FOSS tools to express themselves and each other?
Uh-huh, is this copyright free FOSS tool fed on scraping images from art sites without the artists' consent or even knowledge?
Give me proof that is not the case, and maybe I'll shut up and at least go "okay, have fun with your computer-aided collages, at least they are dodging the worst of this fundamentally unethical invention".
Also lmao at prompt-writing being "art" or "expression" in any way. Reproducing someone else's shit is not expression.

I'm not gonna give you advertising money for this company you're very transparently advertising, mate. Use your words instead. 💀
First you complain about me posting all over now you want me to use MORE words!? You haven't even comprehended the one's I've given you.
I complained about you advertising. Which you continue doing. "Referral" links 💀
Anyway, I'll take the fact that you chose to be a sassy cunt over giving an honest answer as a sign that no, you don't have a way of arguing that the model isn't fed on taking shit from people who put in the work without their consent or even knowledge, and that this is exactly how it works.
Ultimately I know that in the end industrialists' high-tech inventions will steamroll art, they've been doing so for millenia. It just makes me interminably sad, moreso that some people think this is a good thing. Enjoy living in the world you're helping to build. As other AI shills in the thread said, I'm an old man yelling at a cloud. Maybe if you call me grandpa enough you'll will that into existance and I'll age 30 years in a day. Maybe then I'll be dead before AI-generated monstrosities fully replace human expression. I don't wanna live in that world after all.
Just because you refuse to listen doesn't mean you haven't been told. And I don't get anything I need with the referral link, it only gives points on the site that I don't use because I do all my generation locally. It does however give anyone who uses it more points to use the online services since they don't have their own local installs yet. But sure, being wrong works too.
At no point did you talk about where this "Civit" you advertise sources its shit from, and I actually went back through your history to check. Heck I even went to their site and looked for anywhere they say it. Nothin'. Just them showing off the slightly nightmarish creations of their infernal machines.
But go off. Call me names. Like I said, I guess you are right and this is the future, so I just hope I die soon so I don't have to live in it.
That's why I gave you the referral link, so you can educate yourself since you have no interest in anything that comes out of my mouth except to berate it like a child.
I'd have interest in it if you used some level of honesty instead of acting like a sassy cunt and adding these abominations under it.
Instead all you do is insist I "JUST DON'T GET IT" while refusing to explain literally anything.
You've been belligerent for far to long to be asking anything of me, educate yourself, or don't, your insufficiencies aren't my concern. I was just having fun flexing my skill, which when you attempt to replicate a fraction of you'll realise just how far from the mark you've always been.
"Skill" 💀
Right then, mate.
Hope you made enough for a tasty snack from all those advert links you plugged. Just cuz I hate all you stand for doesn't mean I don't want good things happening to you. Bye~
Prove yourself, coward. Or don't.
Ain't got shit to prove to the guy that thinks "I asked a computer to make something for me and then sat back sipping coffee" is the same as "Independent art". 💀
Chicken? Can't do it?
Sorry I only understand interpretive artwork, if you want to communicate you'll have to be more creative.
Show me what they are reproductions of, I'll wait, I have plenty of time.
Hardly so, and not a new problem: art has been made for millennia despite lack of financial security. A couple of exceptions here and there with patronage a la Medici but neither prehistoric people making graffiti nor van gogh were financially secure, and they produced art nonetheless
