I think it's a mistake to assume that computer generation (so-called AI) is the only manifestation of the exploitation that workers (especially in artistic fields that are already considered lesser) experience. The problems that they experience are, I think, exasperated by computer generation, but it isn't like there were no problems with compensation, theft, or other forms of exploitation.

The problem is the exploitation, and I think sometimes, people lose sight of that in these conversations.

#politics #i don't think i'm inherently against 'ai' *but* I don't think it can exist in the world we live in now #we already had problems with worker compensation and recognizing workers and i don't think ai is the solution #like i don't know - i'm sure computer generation can be done in a more ethical way on a smaller scale...#...but if we're talking about the system we currently live in I don't think that those ethics will be adhered to...#...the profit motice outweighs the desire for equity or equality or the artistry that was taken without compensation from artists #but sometimes it feels like people think the only battle to 'win' is against 'ai' and not the system that fostered the success of it #anyway these are some shot of thoughts 👍#i've just seen some conversations about this that i vehemently disagreed with not because of the conclusions but how they arrived there
