What the hell are we even doing here. Please explain the cost benefit to me. Slop videos, slop documents riddled with errors, slop chatbots that don't help...where is the value in any of this?
AI used as much water this year as the entire bottled water industry and generated carbon emissions comparable to those of New York City, per the Verge.

On-brand for AI to take an iconic piece of art celebrating manual labor and turn it into a sloppy shrine to billionaire CEOs
None of these fuckers could walk a beam.

To understand why so many artists hate AI, it might help to know that before AI, the worst thing you could do in the art community was steal someone's work and pass it off as your own. Now thanks to AI, it's a half a trillion dollar industry.

AI is a massive liability. If you use it without informing your client and they get sued because you intentionally or unintentionally ripped someone off, that's a problem. It's also a problem because AI can't be copyrighted, they have no rights to the work, anyone can use it.
clients do care if you used AI because they are paying YOU to do a job, not an AI don't believe AI penny farmers who have never worked for a client before.

the people pushing the “AI is here to stay” narrative are mostly… wait for it… the people who will profit from AI staying. AI is not here to stay if we kick it out and slam the fucking door

breaks my heart how prescient this post was 😢
When I started working on AI four decades ago, it simply didn’t occur to me that one of the biggest use cases would be derivative mimicry, transferring value from artists and other creators to megacorporations, using massive amounts of energy. This is not the AI I dreamed of.

Polish millionaire CEO who snatched a hat meant for a child on live TV at the US Open speaks out. “Yes, I took it. Yes, I did it quickly. But as I’ve always said, life is first come, first served… If you were faster, you would have it… I remind you that insulting a public figure is subject to legal liability. All offensive comments, slander, and insinuations will be analyzed for the possibility of taking the matter to court.”

Oh, Scott Belsky is head of their tech labs? He used to work at Adobe, responsible for Adobe Stock Photos and creative cloud! Under his rule, Adobe illegally used 300+ million stock photos from photographers to train their AI Firefly!
It’s about to get tense
