Does it occur to any of you who are posting AI slop - AI art - that it's always a slap at the artists and photographers

61. Yes, genAI is always a slap at artists and photographers. Some artists and photographers just refuse

to admit that, especially if they've found a niche for themselves utilizing AI. The sort of thing AI companies are often happy to sponsor - and no, I don't know if any of their work is being funded directly by AI companies. But if they're using generative AI trained unethically and illegally on the work of other creatives, I have zero respect for what they're doing and consider them foolish and uncaring about real art and artists. Knowingly, or unknowingly, artistic traitors.

And possibly traitors to humanity as well, by seeming to think we should merge with AI.

Projects that Dinkins has worked on include "Seeing the world through technology" and "An Exchange of Human and Artificial Intelligence" and "The Intersection of Human and Artificial Intelligence.". She wonders, "Can an artist & socially engaged robot become friends?" She asks, "What does AI need from you?" She says, "Our stories are algorithms."

It's BS. She needs to step away from the chatbots and robots.

As an artist with social concerns, her concerns should have as a main focus the AI companies having in effect used creatives for slave labor by stealing their work to train AI.

AI, even in robot form, can't become anyone's friend. That's a silly charade.

AI doesn't need anything from us. It's software, badly flawed software, with no awareness of itself or us.

She dehumanizes humans, and anthropomorphizes AI and robots.

Which is grotesque.
