AI Generated Art Is Unmonetizable

does art care how it gets made?
SamInTheShell•1mo ago
The thing I really don't get is why people are devaluing their own voices with slop. Too many people are just pressing what they think is an "easy" button and calling it good. What they lose in the process is their voice, their opinions, and some of the intangible humanity that was encoded in their content.

At first I just blocked the people doing it, but today I just stay off the platforms where I'm seeing these people. If things stay the same, in the future I can only imagine that small gated communities are where real humans are communicating (think places like lobste.rs, but for normies). Smaller Discord communities are still working.

It's just wild to me how some platforms are fine with bots fluffing content creation. There comes a point where people will realize all the messaging on platforms like Facebook are AI generated and they just leave for greener pastures.

I believe people really want to connect with real people. It just can't be done if people aren't being themselves. I think there are a lot of creative people that are up in arms against the right things, but for the wrong reasons. I don't think the legal IP implications are as damning as the societal implications of everyone filtering their speech through AI.

Sorry, this came off way more ranty than I would like, but it's been bubbling in my head for a while now. So much so I'm actively doing something about it.

Personally the only place that I filter my own speech through an AI is when I couldn't care less about the person I'm communicating to but I need them to get the message (typically because I have too many 4 letter words to say about the subject matter).

Have you considered that people producing material that is considered, by the creator or audience, as "content" very often aren't trying to encode their voice, their opinions, or any of their intangible humanity in it, they are working a system and seeking to provide what the system demands. They aren't sacrificing those things, those things were never the point of the activity.

(OTOH, the people themselves as creating art, including those that use AI among their tools, do probably see that as the point, but they aren’t doing what they see as pushing an "easy" button.)

Really doubt most people put much thought into it at all. Critical thinking is a dying skill.
dragonwriter•1mo ago
It is an interesting theory that AI generated art is unmonetizable, and, yet, people are, in fact, monetizing AI generated art, both directly and by monetizing products which incorporprate it.

Given a theory, and facts directly contrary, one would normally conclude that it is the theory, not the facts, which are in error.
