As an artist, I feel the majority of AI art is very anti-human. I really don’t like the idea that they could train AI off my art so it may replicate something like it. Why automate something so deeply human? We’re supposed to automate more mundane tasks so we can focus on art, not the other way around! I also never expected every tech company to suddenly participate in what feels like blatant copyright infringement, I always assumed at least art was safe in their hands.
Public conversations though? I dunno. I kinda already assume that anything I post is going to be data-mined, so it doesn’t feel very different than it was. There’s a lot of usefulness that can come from datamining the internet theoretically, but we exist under capitalism, so I imagine it’ll be for much more nefarious uses.
