If somebody wrote a prompt saying "make a video of a 3D statue of liberty crying", that person isn't an artist, and what was produced isn't art. And it contributes to an AI that is taking jobs from workers.
We're all pro-worker here, right? Why embrace anti-worker tools?

The issue isn't the manipulation of images! It is WHO is manipulating. If someone spent the time to create a 3D model of the Statue of Liberty so they could have her cry, there's thing wrong with that! That's an artist, making art!

I know what hypocrisy means. I am asking, what am I being hypocritical about?

Where is the hypocrisy? Again, AI =\= photo editing software.

So if we see something wrong, we should be silent about it? Is that how we work toward a better world?

Altered =/= AI, you get that, right?
Honestly, I didn't expect this response, it was surprising and disheartening.

The only ethical concerns I have with Photoshop is Adobe's embrace of AI.
Keep in mind "photoshop" is a verb as well as a noun, and a placeholder for similar software (like kleenex for tissue paper). I can easily do the background image in Krita or Gimp, without an AI handicap.

There was outcry over its embrace of AI, yes. This is something that is very easily done without it.

The background is the image itself, enlarged, and blurred. Very simple Photoshop job.

I posted two words and pasted a comic book panel. You wrote more and even started filling out a form with my name and date. Based on effort it sounds like you might need this form more than I do.

Are you saying the Batman meme is AI?
It is from Frank Miller's legendary 1986 comic book miniseries "The Dark Knight Returns". One of the most influential superhero stories of all time. It is written and drawn by a human artist.

Also, how does it work as a distraction? We still know about Epstein, we still talk about Epstein. Khanna and Massie are still working to get the Epstein files.
Okay, it's not a top level topic on the evening news or newspaper. So few people get their news that way now.

I think it is offensive that you say we can't call each other out to do better. And my comment shouldn't be offensive to the poster, it's an attack on the AI content itself.
Now if the poster themselves "created" that AI content, then yes I mean to insult anyone who would do that.

I chose to stop and comment because I believe this movement should not use cringe slop created by machines. Post a political cartoon of a crying Liberty, if you need that, from a real artist.
I get people replying to me don't care or enjoy AI. Do you get that there are people who don't?

I'm not saying they "can and cannot". Of course they can, nothing illegal or anything.
Look to my first reply to you, I'm saying they _shouldn't._
I'm saying it's wrong. It contributes to one of the societal ills we face today.

The AI is built by stealing massive hordes of art created by humans. The use of it is wrong, regardless of how it is used. Continued use of the AI contributes the artists losing their jobs.
The video is completely unnecessary. Just rely on the art of Maya Angelu's poetry.

Why are you using a poorly-looped gif hosted on with a gif-finder.com watermark? Why can't you be more exceptional and original?
(Because it's totally cool to just use something that works [unless you're using AI images or videos, that's fucking lame])

Was never going to bring that up, didn't think it was necessary. My comment was precise and said all it needed to say.
But now I'm curious why we're all so quick to defend the use of AI, the same tool the fascists use?
