For one art is not a luxury. That is a capitalist myth that tried to keep culture and basic pleasure away from the working class.

See definition 2a. Art is a luxury.

If turning a a picture of you cat into studio ghibli style brings you even a brief modicum of joy, then you go do that and you shouldn’t have people harassing you for doing so.

Except to achieve that joy, you have to steal from people who have to actually work. Gen AI is designed to plagiarize the work of artists for the sake of replacing them. You aren’t siding with the workers, you’re siding with the parasite class.

Edit: screenshot with less clutter.

Let me get this straight: you’re a “communist”, but you want working class people to suffer so that you can have a luxury? Okay…

Who exactly do you think is selling commissions? It’s not the wealthy conspiring to keep down the working man, it is the working man. It’s starving artists who are one bad life event away from financial ruin. If you want art and can’t afford $50 (sometimes much less), then maybe go without it. You don’t exactly need it to live.

That’s your solution for everything.

Get ready for a lot of false positives.

She’s a human being that deserves a fair trial.

Nazi website. No thanks.

I think OP was looking for something within their power.

Front facing deer aren’t real. They can’t hurt you.

Front facing deer:

In a democracy, voters are responsible for who gets elected.

Shape shifter makes half of these redundant. I pick that, teleport, and electric control.

I’ll just leave this here.

Not really. You just interpreted it in a less shitty way than intended.

Voltaire never said that. He lived under a monarchy, so it wouldn’t have made sense if he did. That quote was made up by a neo nazi and falsely attributed to him.

Then say that instead. That’s a common saying most people are aware of. I’ve seen Silicon Valley types promise all kinds of shit before, so this just fits right in.

It’s a computer program that turns the hard work of artists and utterly ridiculous amounts of water into samey, uncanny abominations. To compare that to the moon landing? I don’t even have words for that.

Even in a hypothetical utopia, the thought of a sea of slop drowning the creative world makes my skin crawl. Imagine putting your heart and soul into something only to watch some machine liquify it into an ugly paste in a nanosecond, then it goes on to do the same thing a million times in a row. It’s hard enough to get noticed in this world, and now every passion project has to compete with the diseased inbred freak clones of other passion projects? It makes me feel so goddamn angry that some asshole felt the need to invent such a thing, and for what? What problem does it solve? Why do you need to use up a cities worth of water to make a six fingered Sailor Moon?

They actually already did change the rating for the virtual console release of Red/Blue. I always thought it was stupid, because the game corner was explicitly run by the bad guys.
