I’ve been so disheartened to see many of my artist friends diving into AI. So many of them are wonderful artists who keep cranking out utter shit by generating whole images or incorporating elements into their original work. They are unrepentant.

I googled this after thinking the same thing and pulled up a clip of the show. My god, there are so many fans with low standards. Unwatchable noise emanating from unpleasant people.
There’s apparently someone named Ethan Klein having a scandal and I keep thinking it’s Ezra Klein and then keep realizing I still don‘t care

Exactly right. Mediocre white men love AI for this very reason. They can't do the work but need the praise and are unwilling to learn. Can't learn Photoshop can't even learn Paint. Can't learn how to write an interesting sentence, can't make a joke. Outsourcing being a person.
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot

A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead:

The best case scenario here is a training exercise gone wrong. Here's hoping that's all it was. Hope everyone injured makes a full recovery. RIP to the fallen.
