Company doesn’t want to pay artists. Fify
Possibly. But there are valid uses of ai. Uses that streamline the process, take away some of the more tedious bits. Allow the artist to create more, easier. But you're also not wrong to imply that for a corporation that will always be the exception and not the rule
Fuck being efficient all the time. That’s such a fucking capitalist mindset. That’s the excuse use by the people pushing this slop technology into every aspect of life. It’s designed to remove people from art and to save companies money by removing the human cost.
These “valid uses of Ai” are not valid if they could have just paid someone to do the work.
Are you under the impression that a socialist or communist society would not be in the pursuit of efficiency? Think again. They would merely be making sure the efficiency would not come at the cost of the workers, and put the increased efficiency to use in service of the workers (fewer hours etc).
Efficiency and profitability would absolutely be secondary to actual human needs.
Look around, we aren’t living in a socialist society, Ai isn’t just waiting for some good people to use it. It’s actively being build by the parasite class and used to make the world poorer.
