You think that no one who criticizes AI pays for human artwork?

That is a bizarre stance

Do you think the vast majority who criticize AI pays for good human artwork? Now that is a bizarre stance.

  • You think most people don’t pay for movies, music, games, clothing with designs, art, etc.?

    • None of those things are battlegrounds for AI art complaints since AI usage is still minimal there. The AI complaints are about anime, posters, YouTube videos, etc.

      There was recently an anime in which they used one AI generated background in the ending theme, which spurred countless complaints. It's common knowledge that anime animators are badly paid and work on insane schedules, so they used AI to cut corners. How many of those complainers proposed better wages and less pressure for animators, vs demanding free replacement of the background at no cost on their own? This is entitlement.

      When a significant amount of movie scenes are AI generated, let's see whether viewers are willing to pay premium for non-AI scenes, or whether they only complain that they're not getting non-AI at no additional charges.

  • Motte and bailey; "none" -> "vast majority"

    I know plenty of people (including myself) who pay for good human artwork :)

    • This is about paying for better-than-AI human artwork, not any human artwork. Would they pay premium for non-AI? That matters much more than whether they pay when they have no choice.
