Redditors Vent and Complain When People Mock Their "AI Art" (futurism.com)

Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on...

That's pretty reductive and bad comparison. Your example boils down to saying that you could argue guitarist is a machine assisted.

I don't really think you're expressing much of yourself with an AI, especially creativity. I mean all the power to you if you think so, but you can't really claim to be anything more than a slightly less cumbersome Google image search bot.

Basically you give "search terms" and then use your judgement to pick and choose. There's very little expression and a whole lot curating of someone else's work. I guess if you think making music playlist is an expression of creativity, sure it'll qualify. But that's some shallow expression of a personality when it comes to art. Might want to phrase that differently.

My art software, 99% of music software/plugins. Other than that, I'd be good to move to Linux. I've been dual booting for years now. But Linux isn't for everyone. There's a lot of stuff missing, and when everything works it's great. But troubleshooting isn't a slope of problems that increases gradually in the difficulty, it's actually a cliff.

Dude. Take a chill in the bathtub and touch grass. AI is never taking my job, since it's physical labor since I removed myself from the computer industry 15 years ago. But as someone who studied AI and LISP (which was mired in the previous AI craze), it's not actually wrong to have animosity and be skeptical about the current AI. we're literally using the same techniques than we did 30 years ago. We've invented nothing new since the last AI fad. What is driving this craze is the brute force approach of massive parallel processing, not actual innovation.

There's been some minor refinement, so it's not exactly identical, but to use a metaphor... We've using more Lego bricks and different colours now to build our castles, but they're all still lego bricks. Nothing has fundamentally changed.

... and you should know by now that tech industry is funded by hype machine, so temper your expectations. Current machine learning techniques are limited and inefficient, it's not actually really a solvable problem with the current approach.
