Here's a way to turn anti-AI rage into action:
Normalize crediting.
I can't tell you how many times an invite, email, blog post, random bit of social media content goes out with some kind of unattributed lovely art.
CREDIT ARTISTS. ON EVERYTHING. It's easy. And if we normalized crediting enough, the generated images would stand out on their own for absence of credit.
@otherthings 1000%.
I do think there's a natural shift happening in the maturation of the internet that relates to this. The internet started with this open sharing culture where putting anything online felt like contributing to a commons. But then capitalism entered the chat. And now we have it sharpening to a point where it's doing precise kinds of harm. Artists have been online for ages and ages, but rarely are they the builders, or close to them. Flickr's culture was and remains legendary.
