Reminder that AI is not just creatively and culturally destitute, but is also explicit thievery of already underpaid labor.
Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

This is your periodic reminder that education (higher or otherwise) has benefits other than improving your capacity to perform in the labor market, and these benefits may in fact even be *more important* than employability.

Totally fake band, AI-generated “psychadelic folk,” polluting streaming playlists, 300k listeners, fake bio with fake quote from Billboard. This has never been about facilitating art—it’s one more way for big tech to siphon as much money from artists as possible.
The Velvet Sundown are a seemingly AI-generated band with 325k Spotify listeners
Fully AI-generated music is only accounting for a tiny proportion of streams on services like Spotify and Deezer at the moment.

"I asked chatgpt, I asked grok" yeah well I've given up all chance at inner peace. I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion, I'm damned for what I do.
"i asked chatgpt, i asked grok" yeah well i asked frankenstein and he was like "i'm the doctor, not the monster!" and i was like "well you're kind of a monster tho also" so
"i asked chatgpt" yeah well i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains, i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line and the less I seek my source for some definitive closer I am to fine

If you use AI art you’re messing around with fascist aesthetics. They have no artistic talent and hold art in low esteem, and that’s what you’re doing if you use AI art in your projects
