   This applies to all current publicly available AI generators, not just those producing images.

     I love all the work the word "purpose" is doing in that quote, by the way, instilling a single malign objective to all human beings who've taken part in AI development

     @calmeilles those fucking mechanized looms are a conspiracy to put all the honest hardworking weavers out of business, too. Bash the shit out of them every chance you get, anytime you see one.

     @calmeilles if someone used images that weren't in the public domain, let's talk about the instances in which that took place

     Hell yes. Do a class action thing. Sue the shit out of someone.

     But don't pretend everyone who ever worked on this did it with the express "purpose of deskilling, disempowering, and replacing real, human artists." That's CLINICAL level paranoia.

     You are being deliberately obtuse, pointing away from the big guys and at the little folks with tertiary investment and no real control over where their piecemeal invested money goes.

     I am talking about the big corporations and VC investors, and you know it. Google, Microsoft, etc. The money behind the big resource sucking datacenters is certainly not each individual who has put their money in a small investment via a financial institution.

     And these "corporate supporters" and "investors"--for instance, a Black teacher in Mississippi w/shares in a mutual fund that tracks the S&P 500 (=Microsoft) in her retirement portfolio--we're saying ALL of them, as in every single one, has the "end goal" of making creatives obsolete? All shared/are sharing the "purpose" of "deskilling" artists and making them obsolete?

     Don't get me wrong. I *do* want someone to sue.

     Pro-class-action-lawsuit.

     Anti-paranoia.

     Not everyone who ever worked on it, no. I don't think the programmers and actual working folks involved are intentionally working towards making themselves obsolete, for example. BUT that's ABSOLUTELY the end goal of the corporate supporters of AI use cases.

     The investors? DO want to be able to push a button and generate content, no employees involved. Profit only, only power and tech maintenance bills as overhead.

     @calmeilles Unpopular opinion: All your skills are also the result of training.
     What differs your training (education, school etc.) from training an AI?
