I'm surprised that explanations are needed, but OK. Freddie.



You know, your whole post is reminiscent of the protest of factory workers at the beginning of the 20th century.
This was especially evident when automatic machines began to appear.
The protest was aimed at preventing factory owners from installing machine tools in factories...
Workers were breaking down machines, disabling them, and striking in the belief that "soulless machines will take away human labor.".. Sounds familiar, right?
Years have passed and now everything you hold in your hands has been created using human-controlled machines.

All the current abuse of artists on artistic neural networks reminds me of those workers from the early 20th century.
Wait a bit, the world is in the process of adaptation again, years will pass and the artists themselves will say "how did we live before without the help of these programs"
So don't worry, don't swear. A machine still cannot displace a person, especially in such a niche as creativity!

I assume you’re referring to the luddites, and it was the 18th century.
Skilled English mill workers (in a period of economic distress following the napoleon wars) destroyed certain types of machinery in raids. This was because these new machines were brought in to allow rich factory owners to employ unskilled workers for much lower pay and much less job security (since anyone could do the work, you could always be replaced). The new machines also produced work of inferior quality.

It’s one thing to use a forum to view an artists work for free, but it’s absolutely taking the fucking piss to post AI generated images trained on said artists stolen commissions. Not to mention cutting off the hand that feeds you

No, in my post I was referring specifically to the beginning of the 20th century, when electric and automatic machines began to be installed...
factory workers began to break them and protest against such machines as in the USA, in European countries and even in the Soviet Union.
But your example is also absolutely correct.
That's why I'm saying that history repeats itself.

As for placing artificial intelligence products here on a permanent basis, I am strongly opposed.
My publication there was more a response to a sad post Kacap.
