Their brains are mush. They are usually entitled but now they are justified in their deregulation. They don't care about many real pursuits. They are all anti intellectuals. People who like consumer AI fall for fast food politics and fox news. Maybe chatgpt tells them they are a special fucking little snow flakes.
It's so hard for us to survive and make a living from our art. And they don't even care about the optics.
My wife and I are artists. Photography, writing and illustration, many hobbies and crafts. We go to the library and study together. We make ttrpgs together.
Our family has a portrait of them as the Scottish royalty made from AI in their door way. One makes eerie AI fairies in their free time. One listens to AI slop stories into the late hours of the night even now. One of them thinks they can become a travel blogger using AI to make thousands instead of their HR job
Feels bad
Yeah, "separate the art from the artist" my ass.
As long as the artist in question is still alive, you can't distance yourself from their politics while continuing to support them monetarily. You buy HP merch – you are complicit, full stop.
But there, my friends, songs like trees bear fruit only in their own time and their own way: and sometimes they are withered untimely.
