A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI images may may or may not be art, but it will never be YOUR art, any more than the art of artists I employ is my art. It just isn't.

Once again, the issue is ultimately a deflection from systemic issues that the upper class insist they aren't intentionally worsening 🫠
