“This isn’t going to stop,” Allen told the New York Times. “Art is dead, dude. It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost.”

“But I still want to get paid for it.”

    Good gravy. This isn’t far off at all from the inevitabilist bootlickery I sometimes see on Hexbear about this treat printer shit.

    LLMs would just be tools, useful for a task, if it wasn’t for the hype-driven euphoria and venture capital momentum that is pushing to burn forests and turn lakes to dust in the drive to make ever larger data centers for reasons that range from arrogance to the occult.

        A lot of music is focus-grouped and has algorithms behind it because major labels want to turn it into a commodity. I’m not a musician so I forget what they are exactly, but there’s beats and music notes common in a lot of songs put there because they sell. Regardless, people will always want to hear live music. Nobody is going to pay hundreds of dollars to watch holograms of dead people.

        But yeah. The camera did more damage to artists than AI ever has or will. If painting survived photography, it will survive AI slop.

        Even if they somehow were, what good would it do? Who would even be around to enjoy the prompted floods of slop? What would distinguish it?
