that they are decimating rental stock in expensive cities and tourist towns (and driving up rents, too). I still can't get my friends to stop using them. Or people who voted for a $20 minimum wage not to use gig companies like Shipt and DoorDash.

People do what's easy and convenient for them without regard to how it affects others.

Thank you Highplainsdem, JMCKUSICK Thursday #37

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

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

True all too frequently. Often they tell themselves everyone else is doing it, it's inevitable, etc. highplainsdem Thursday #38

People do not understand or respect intellectual property. LisaM Thursday #41

That's both funny and sad. And I'd always advise against people trusting AI overviews/summaries highplainsdem Thursday #39

Thanks. I'm trying. highplainsdem Thursday #36

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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