    I appreciate the art but not the message.

    • Feeding the Grift - First and foremost “AI” doesn’t exist. So this just feeds the grift. Personally I always use quotes around “AI” to be more clear.
    • Muddying the Waters - As a result of “AI” not existing, there’s no objective line between computer-aided art and “AI” art. Should we boycott an image if we find out the creator used some advanced image filter (or generated game levels, etc)? Is that “AI”? There is no objective measure or even a scientific definition. It’s all bullshit. See point above.
    • Ineffective Praxis - If this goal is to “fight the machine”, then boycotting computer-aided art seems like a completely pointless distraction. Maybe like “protest a data center” would be better? I can’t think of a real good slogan…

      Just because AI is not actual artificial intelligence doesn’t mean that the thing people refer to doesn’t exist. Misnamed, yes, but also existing. Also, objectivity is overrated, there is plenty of unambiguous cases and the existence of any ambiguity does not prevent us from being for or against. Protesting data centers sure sounds like a good idea too though!
