I've seen so many teachers bring this up, when talking about AI, that I felt I had to mention it. highplainsdem May 2025 #40

I'm guessing no. Like it doesn't occur to Airbnb users LisaM May 2025 #19

That's a good one. usonian May 2025 #24

You should always reject it because it's unethical and harmful. Please don't use ANY AI-generated slop, highplainsdem May 2025 #25

You're fighting the good fight here. WhiskeyGrinder May 2025 #26

Thanks. I'm trying. highplainsdem May 2025 #36

I have seen only one good use for AI art so far The Madcap May 2025 #27

Not a good use. They're musicians betraying visual artists. One of my favorite rock singers highplainsdem May 2025 #33

I happen to like the deforming images, The Madcap May 2025 #46

The music is fine. Using AI for the video is completely unethical AND really clueless for a musician, because highplainsdem May 2025 #47

AI is the devil. Scrivener7 May 2025 #30

It's certainly functioning as a devil. Did you see the video posted at highplainsdem May 2025 #53

Not all artists agree with you. Ms. Toad May 2025 #57

Yes, genAI is always a slap at artists and photographers. Some artists and photographers just refuse highplainsdem May 2025 #61

So who appointed you God of what artists should feel, Ms. Toad May 2025 #65

Tell me how a few artists finding it profitable to work with AI can cancel out the incalculably vast theft highplainsdem May 2025 #66

You said it was always a slap to artists. Ms. Toad May 2025 #70

I said it was a slap AT artists, not TO them. Look at my OP. highplainsdem May 2025 #71

To/at - not a substantial difference. What I said is that not all artists agree. Ms. Toad May 2025 #72

It's a complete difference. You're talking about a different subject - feelings about AI versus highplainsdem May 2025 #73
