Forgot to Ask Someone (Art by Shen Comix)

The thing this comic misses is it should show like an untalented every man declaring I totally want to use this to make art that I don't have the ability to create. Because that's exactly what happened making the artist value massively decrease.

If you think that there's even a remote chance you'll be able to discern what was AI generated within a year, you're fooling yourself.

AI replacing artists like crossbows replaced archers.
Exactly, when that AI music thing came out I really enjoyed making weird music. Like I would ask give me banjo techno with a digeridoo and I got pretty cool stuff out of it. I never pretended to be gifted at making music, but I'll definitely use the tools to experiment.
- It is not so much the "I want to use it as a toy regardless of the environmental consequences" crowd like you that is the main problem. That would be the "I want to use it to create profit regardless of the environmental and artistic consequences" which is the main problem. They will eventually completely replace actual art, because it profits them and they have no limits to how much slop they can produce.

This is what I keep saying. NO ONE WANTS THIS. Its purely slop so ad companies can fire all their artists and give you unlimited targeted ads. Its the ULTIMATE enshittification.

I mean fuck me, but as long as the content is good I really don’t care about its origin!
I wasn’t the guy who downvoted you btw
- It isn't good though.
- Im conflicted. I mean good for you. But I have a deeper caring of art and media than that, so I care about the creator. The gibbity that Elmo told to make a nazi musical doesn't appeal to me.

apparently they are pushing so hard with this shit because that bubble is propping up their economy.

I thought the bubble had popped when we had AI energy drinks, jokes on me it's just a bigger bubble now. When that thing bursts it's going to be way worse than the dotcom crash
- these guys are getting better at inflating bubbles way bigger than they ever would.

“The enshittification will continue until the morale improves”

unfortunately shareholders-chan is really cute

This means she should be the first one to bend over and get fucked ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
- Wouldn't be the first time that's happened to the characters in one of Shen's comics, maybe it's on purpose this time.

I dunno how many times I need to say it before anyone hears this, but....

Nobody gives a shit about the shareholders.

The problem is that the people in power do care a lot about the shareholders.
Except the corporations. They only care about the shareholders.
- Corporations are not people.

It's quite sad how AI could've been a tool to ENHANCE an Artist's workflow, but naaaaaaah corpos aren't about making lives better

Well it can and does, lots of artists use it for making interesting compositions for example. Lots of graphic designers use it too.
- Shhh, most people in this community will start fuming and calling it slop if you mention that.
I've heard about some actually usable frame interpolation tool getting cancelled in favor of promt machines once the latter became more apparent
You can use it to upscale your drawings, inpaint, add detail etc etc
Lots of stuff to enhance
