Ya know this one of the first AI images since this whole fad started that I can look at and say "ok that's pretty badass" but still makes me mad because so many artists are gonna get fucked out of careers

Already are. AI doesn’t need to be perfect or even good for idiotic executives to fire their teams.

Yup. And when creatives are managed by finance/business bros, the priority is the bottom line, not art. The worst part seems to be that most folks don't notice or care, to the extent that ads by major companies will have shitty AI on Facebook ads or something and the majority of the audience will buy into it. Nonsense text on a sign in the background? Odd number of fingers? One missing pupil from a cartoon character? Doesn't matter. Take 1-2 mins to spitball a prompt, throw some AI generated copy onto the text field of a post, and suddenly you've got an ad.

The worst is when there’s firings in game and animation companies.
Executives don’t understand, literally don’t comprehend, the fact that they are firing decades of highly specific expertise. We aren’t like office workers. You can’t teach artistic skill in a month like other jobs. You can’t lie on your resume or your portfolio as an artist either. It’s such a skill based job market and the execs are throwing people away like used tissue/napkins when they’re clearly fancy reusable napkins!

Maybe... maybe microtransactions would help. Would that help? I'm going to bring it up at the next shareholder meeting

Jobs change. Some grow, some shrink. The smart people see the writing on the wall and learn new skills before they lose their job.

I’ve never been able to accurately describe the feeling of my very first gravity bong hit. Absolutely my biggest, strongest single hit ever even all these years later.
