You know what the biggest problem with pushing all-things-AI is? Wrong direction.
I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.

@AuthorJMac The problem is, AI wasn't made for you and me -- people with existing artistic interests. It's made for business dudes, sales bros, and programmers: people who envy the satisfactions of art, and have created a tool to give them the illusion of creativity without the hit to their efficiency or the years of practice.

@narinarinari @AuthorJMac Wait, no way AI is made for programmers, like the AI generating text also can generate some code, and it seems like some feel like it could reduce programmers? (I would say they are in the same boat as we artists, no?)

I would suggest reading the Hacker News comments on any AI topic -- you'll find hundreds of programmers enthusing about how great Generative AI is, and scorning anyone who questions its value as a moron. The difference between artists and programmers using this stuff seems to be, the artists see a disaster looming, while the programmers are gleefully chopping off their own legs with an axe.
