thrilled with AI art, and AI art is soulless, there's the theft of intellectual property behind all generative AI. Which wasn't mentioned at all.

The cartoonist also wrote

If any of the AI he likes using is generative AI, and he just objects to the type of AI threatening his work, he's a hypocrite. Just as musicians and writers who don't want music or writing generated by AI to threaten their work, but will happily use AI art to make album and book covers, are hypocrites.

Creatives need to stand together.

And the talentless - skilless - people who want to use AI to pretend they have skills they don't have need to realize they're being frauds.

Tie with the guest of Jon Stuart

some authors assume AI will somehow always be inferior to humans, others that it will greatly exceed it; it seems to be a fair bet that it will always be different from natural intelligence, human or otherwise.

For some reason, this article reminded me of a very darkly satirical (or is it ?) John Sladek story about a robot whose intelligence has developed to the point that he is able to convince voters -- human, of course -- to actually choose him as a candidate for Vice President* -- but he has a dark secret, which pops out to shock everyone, only after he is about to assume the office.

The title ? Tik-Tok.

Hmmmmmmm.







*(Yeah, yeah, I know. Low bar.)

For one, it's going to take EVERYONE's job over the next ten years. You think you're safe? Do you? As another it cheapens everything I do because any idiot with AI can make something better in five minutes. I've recently been learning drawing heads from any angle with the loomis method, comic book style art, poses and digital illustration. I can do this:

and all anyone can see are the imperfections, not that it's taken me years to be able to draw that well. People who haven't practiced art themselves don't even understand what artistic skill development takes and I know that first hand. AI has made artists like me both obsolete and unappreciated.
