So if you read this blog, you know my opinion on AI, especially used in the creative world.
Today I ran into a post on X, which if you don’t know it USED TO BE TWITTER!!! Anyways, the post is from a science fiction writer and artist who made the obvious claim we are all screaming in our heads.
This is sooooo true. The real reason AI is here is not to make our lives better. It’s to make the ultra rich even richer. And to have AI take the place of an artist, a real hard working, professional artist, this is like that boot stomping on your face Orwell warned us about.
As a lifelong artist, who has been working professionall (as an artist), for the past 27 years, this both sickens and saddens me. Art is truly the most sacred of human expressions. Our first communications as a species started with artists. From caves to pyramids, be it sculptors or photographers, art as an expression has defined us, and affirmed our humanity.
Ms. Maciejewska has encapsulated what we all feel and see as a major blow to our humanity, and for what? So billionaires can make money by stomping out our humanity?
