Raw LLM Responses

I'm seeing a lot of comparisons to CGI, photography, the horse and buggy, and things in the past that this really doesn't compare to. And telling artists to just adapt and that they can't change it now that it's already here, this will make new jobs, etc. This will not make new jobs, that is the entire point of generative AI, ease of use. Prompts are already being talked of being not needed soon. And it's started taking jobs. Goldman Sachs estimates 300 million jobs could be lost or diminished by AI. Thinking these jobs will be filled as fast or even close to that loss is not realistic. And neither is thinking that not by doing anything that it will all get better somehow by itself. Guys, we do not, and should not, have to accommodate corporations and their products. "Why should we COPE? Why should we just plan to have disruptions and just "let" this shit happen?" And "Why should society ADAPT to machines rather than making tools that WORK for us?" - Timnit Gebru, Computer scientist and AI ethicist. ^ This is NOT inevitable unless we let it be. Are we REALLY pursuing progress? We can regulate this. If you are concerned, act, do not take this laying down. Get involved. Donate to the Concept Art Association's GoFundMe. Contact your state representatives. Advocate. Spread awareness. Talk to people about it, so many do not even know and won't until it's too late if we just keep our heads down and do nothing. Be conscious about where you spend your dollar. IT ALL COUNTS. We have already made some things happen. CSP walked back implementing generative AI. DeviantART while still crappy did apply NoAI HTML across the site by default. Glaze was made. (Btw check that out, it was made by a team at the University of Chicago and can protect your work from being trained on.) Many big studios are announcing and having employees sign documents that they will not use generative ML/AI. The lawsuits are happening. People are organizing. This could not have happened without people taking ACTION. And we need people to continue to do that because the people currently fighting need everyone's help. They can't do everything by themselves. You matter. Your humanity matters. Your ability to earn a living with your passion, matters. And your actions matter more than you all realize. I've seen it. <3 As a community we are a strong global force to be reckoned with.
