In a post-scarcity solarpunk future, I could imagine some reasonable uses, but that’s not the world we’re living in yet.
AI art has already poisoned the creative environment. I commissioned an artist for my latest solarpunk novel, and they used AI without telling me. I had to scrap that illustration. Then the next person I tried to hire claimed they could do the work without AI but in fact they could not.
All that is to say, fuck generative AI and fuck capitalism!
Me: “The system works exactly as advertised for thousands of people”
You, a wise person: “The system doesn’t work as advertised because not everyone in the world is using it.”
You’re a very unserious person, so I won’t engage further with this nonsense.
