    The difference between a human artist working with digital media vs analog media is a difference in materials.

    The difference between art and AI is AI is a lossy compression algorithm used to steal human art in a legally defensible way.

    You can use anything to make art, AI techbros didnt prove that, my point is AI is a shitty self-defeating tool that hides the theft of our public commons of shared art made by humans behind a bunch of bullshit technobabble.

    edit Also yeah CGI did make movies a lot lamer in some ways…? Do you know nothing about movies? Have you not lamented with others how you miss the prevalence of Live Action films and Practical Effects because now film makers almost always take the easy boring route out with CGI that misses the point of film in the first place?

      If we can compress the entirety of human art, music, literature made by billions of people into the size of a 4-10 GB model, at around 1 person per byte, then we must have not been very creative in the first place.

        What an awful, cynical way to look at reality.

          You were the one suggesting that all of human art could be compressed into a file that could easily fit on a USB stick:

          AI is a lossy compression algorithm used to steal human art in a legally defensible way.

          These are your words.
