Ofc but those with no care will keep going, what artists can do is not let it stop them from doing what they enjoy

swiftdelta-92

itz like asking a blind person to draw

grandquiver-69

Also things like copyright claims could be done and things to stop AI from being able to use their work

swiftdelta-92

yeah, they can generate garbage

swiftdelta-92

but from your perspective based on feelings i bet thats better

grandquiver-69

Still possible depending on where u look, like ppl set up commissions and some websites r dedicated to artists work so not all hope is lost and the industry isn't just gonna go away

swiftdelta-92

i cant take you seriously

swiftdelta-92

same buddy

swiftdelta-92

my opinion has logic, but its beyond your shorthanded understanding

swiftdelta-92

so did i

@grandquiver-69 They won't take those jobs fully, some still value artists work
sharpdolphin-67

Trust me
By the time we’re all gone
AI gonna be widespread everywhere like Cyberpunk 2077

swiftdelta-92

"if free food becomes accessible, farmers will lose their job"

@sharpdolphin-67 Trust me By the time we’re all gone AI gonna be widespread everywhere like Cyberpunk 2077
grandquiver-69

Nah ppl will still respect art and artists will still enjoy making it, even I started while AI art was rising cos it looked fun to draw

grandquiver-69

Not everyone likes gen AI tho so it can still work, also struggling to make a living can happen in more than just the art industry

swiftdelta-92

art could still come from artist, yk?

grandquiver-69

Not accepting it as an option, I just go with the mindset of not using or agreeing with and working with the idea that artists will still keep making art

swiftdelta-92

same with the industrial revolution, and thats why we now have phones and cars and airplanes

swiftdelta-92

the food wouldn't have to come from the farmers, but whatever

swiftdelta-92

🫩

swiftdelta-92

but i am the one ragebaiting, right?

grandquiver-69

What path do u mean, like being an artist I'm guessing

swiftdelta-92

....

swiftdelta-92

im done explaining it, makes sense, but you have to think

grandquiver-69

So it can still be a side hussle, it'll always be hard but some can still choose to try

swiftdelta-92

you dont agree with logic and critical thinking

grandquiver-69

That's for like most hobbies which can be jobs nowadays, doesn't mean it's not possible

swiftdelta-92

thats like saying people shouldn't try to do sports because they wont get hired.

does it mean we should blame the good players for taking away jobs?

for simply being a better alternative?

@swiftdelta-92 thats like saying people shouldn't try to do sports because they wont get hired. does it mean we sh…
grandquiver-69

Yeah exactly, they should at least try

@grandquiver-69 Yeah exactly, they should at least try
swiftdelta-92

no they shouldnt, listen to her

grandquiver-69

It is but it won't stop those with enough passion to go through with what they want

swiftdelta-92

we should lower the bar and hired eveb the least skillful artists

@swiftdelta-92 no they shouldnt, listen to her
grandquiver-69

Yh ig it's better to give up and let AI win

grandquiver-69

It's bad but artists can either let it affect what they do or choose to ignore the threat

swiftdelta-92

cars took horses job off, dont see you complaining about that

swiftdelta-92

improvement is always good

swiftdelta-92

horses like movement

grandquiver-69

Then u mentioned abt artists not feeling they can go through with their passion

swiftdelta-92

and they get paid by having food

grandquiver-69

I thought we were expanded on the debate since we agreed with the initial statement

swiftdelta-92

okay what about vacuum cleaner and washing machines taking off maids jobs

grandquiver-69

Yeah but not everyone, like for me personally I started wanting to make art during the time AI was becoming a big thing and 'taking over'

grandquiver-69

It didn't stop many artists, it just pushed them to do more

swiftdelta-92

omg, all of your points are "erm actually"

swiftdelta-92

nice ragebai

swiftdelta-92

t

grandquiver-69

Doesn't mean they stopped entirely

swiftdelta-92

you just want to be able to do a mediocre job and still be hired

swiftdelta-92

you said like if "starving artist" wasnt the common trope

swiftdelta-92

that was before ai btw

swiftdelta-92

actually
