Thanks to that, I know an employer I can’t trust.

We not bussin in this one.

Thank you for your thoughts. Hope it helps.

Financial literacy, primarily how to live within or below your means.

Having to repeatedly tweak and review AI generations is a code smell. Your gut could be telling you to start using your brain to build your code if you’re at this stage.

Almost anything at this point. It feels like the “first hit is free” modus of drug dealers.

You sure?

Them: Stop overreacting.

You: Stop underreacting.

Corporate-owned AI (or anything corporate, really) will be used to control sooner or later. As such, I’m not a fan of those, and I agree with your concerns here. I like community-based and local LLMs, on the other hand.

if there is too much art, so much so that no one will pay for it, won’t everything turn into a living garbage dump? Chances are, if you ask most people in your immediate area, they’d prefer human-made art if they can find someone and can pay for their services. For me, AI art is a result of a “creative demand overflow”, for lack of a better term, because not enough human artists are there to do everything.

You’ll find someone willing to pay to differentiate themselves from the sameness of mass-produced AI art.

That worked five years ago. Why wouldn’t it work now?

If “worked” mean “I just don’t bother because I can’t draw and I don’t have money, so I’ll keep my ideas in my head”, sure.

What’s the point? Where’s the story, where’s the work, if everything is so simple, then what’s the point?

I’m not a good artist. If I could commission someone to make art for me I would. The reality is if we restrict art sources to human artists in absolutely all cases, nothing much will get done. There’s so much demand and not enough supply. I will commission someone if I intend to distribute work. If the point is to give the viewer a rough idea i.e. an unfinished product, I will not hesitate to use AI as one of my many tools available to get my point across.

Playing devil’s advocate: Being required to pay the government to fund social programs is no good if said government is corrupt.
