When I was still curious about AI art and willing to look at other perspectives earlier this year, one part of that phase took me to a "leftist AI art" discord.

According to the person who referred me, AI art was started by more left-leaning people before co-opted by the big companies (I have no way to prove if this is actually the case, but whatever). Even then, I still felt very uncomfortable in the setting. Their logic was around making excuses around how the machines "don't steal from artists" or how AI art can make art "accessible" and how they thought that people who talked about disabled people making art in non-conventional ways was "inspiration porn" etc. It seemed hard to believe that they were even "leftists" to begin with.

The entire environment was super confusing to me. It seemed like they all were collectively going through a massive amount of cognitive dissonance with the concept of machine-learning art, while ignoring the more blatant problems this thing had.
