In this post, no. And? The problem is less about forbidding creation with other means than it is about pushing the idea that the outcome is the only thing you are after in creative endeavours.
most AI slop is soulless corporate graphic design […] and […] niche pornography.
I understand where you come from, and agree on that front, except this can still represent revenue for (some) artists which allows them to do their art, whilst being able to practice (to a degree) and being paid for it. Also, do you have a source regarding that or is it from what you experience online?
At it’s heart, the non-environmentalist AI hate is mostly people who thought their jobs were impossible to automate trying to protect those jobs from being automated.
I am entitled to hate it for reasons that are mine. This includes, but isn’t limited to, a push towards equating art with a product and taking the process out of the equation. Of course we did not have to wait for AI for these people to already think like that, but it’s now being pushed much harder.
Also, just in case, I don’t earn my income through art, and my job isn’t (yet) threatened by AI.
