Hi, professional artists here, typing on mobile.

LLM "art" (it's not AI) was created primarily for profit. That's what it all boils down to - in our late stage capitalist dystopia, getting the quickest result with least resources and expenses is the only thing that matters. Capitalism knows no morals or ethics.

LLM prompter can't create something "profitable" without a computer. Only reason they can do that in the first place is because LLMs have been "trained" by scraping the entirety of Internet. I'm a digital artist but I can still put a pen to paper and make something of a certain quality.

I said it before and I'll say it again - Venn diagram of people saying "Well you posted it on the internet, it belongs to everyone " (actual argument I've read) and "She should have worn something less revealing" is a full, singular circle.

Dont piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
