I hate those arguments so much. It always boils down to:
"AI is not 'real art' in the creative sense."
"Muh loss of commissions."

Is art once again just a craft, like before the Victorian era, where it's primarily about commissioned work? If so, where does the artistic—the creative—value in such commissions go? You can't simultaneously claim that art is an expression of individual creativity while also yelling, "Muh commissions!" You can say both, but that's textbook Luddism. Being anti-technology is based in my opinion, unless you try to hide it behind other arguments as if you're ashamed to admit it.

Actual avant-garde art that challenges the status quo and explores new ideas is always laughed at anyway. "Is this art or did the janitor forgot their lunch?"—until a well-known name is attached to it, and suddenly it becomes a highly sought-after investment. The art market is no longer a place for creativity; it's just a field for financial speculation.

Nah, if you throw all these so-called "Twitter artists" (the kind of people who buy books but never read them while pretending to be intellectuals) into a sack and start swinging a bat, you'll always hit the right ones. My God, they're just as performative and arrogant as the tech bros. (And their argument isn't even about the art market, where you can only make it as an artist through networking and ass-kissing... it's just about furry art and its equivalents. Cool.)

It's ridiculous to act as if art still has a serious societal role today. Unironically, memes have taken over the function of conveying cultural expression, political messages, and identity. The real problem isn’t AI; it’s that art has long since become a commodity, defined primarily by its market value. Blaming AI for that is giga copium.

Only those who see art purely as a career feel threatened. Unfairly so for individuals, because I don’t wish for anyone to be replaced (Then again, there’s the thought that if you can’t set yourself apart from AI art, maybe you chose the wrong career path in the first place. Not my thought... thank you, R*dd*t, for once again showing incredible solidarity to your fellow humans :^)). But rightfully so for the art market, let that collapse (But it won't because nothing ever happens.)

I'm not saying it's not fake. Some Influencer drove country side to stage a stupid reel. Happens here all the time too.
Just saying that I can't imagine it being state sponsored at all, it reads like a typical influencer chasing their 15 minutes of fame.

Nah, chinks don't sponsor social media in that way. They have around 5 time more population than america, so of course it's just regular influencer shit

I really like the Combine as this xenophilic but crushingly authoritarian faction. Sci-Fi Interdimensional Space Stalinism

Not "would", but "will".

Could work. The question is whether it is canned tuna or actual tuna. Judging from the picture, it looks like some sort of tuna spread or cream. I would try it. Makes me genuinely curious about how it tastes.
