Most people buying art aren’t looking for high art, they’re looking for something that they enjoy looking at. Those who are into art are in no way restricted from buying non-AI art if they want to. The whole argument about intellectual theft is bullshit, every single fashion designer steals ideas and inspiration from elsewhere.
I automate business processes for a living, not using AI (yet). I literally improve productivity for a living.
Making an argument about the consequences of people trying to make a living was exactly my point, but you fail to realize that that argument has been made literally hundreds of times over the last two centuries as new technologies have come out that cause concerns for workers, Including for fabric and sewing.
The first paragraph of the Wikipedia article on Luddites:
The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textile workers who opposed the use of certain types of automated machinery due to concerns relating to worker pay and output quality. They often destroyed the machines in organised raids.[1][2] Members of the group referred to themselves as Luddites, self-described followers of “Ned Ludd”, a legendary weaver whose name was used as a pseudonym in threatening letters to mill owners and government officials.[3]

See, here’s my problem. I took some time to think it over.
You don’t actually care about art, here. You care about what you do. Which, I’m guessing, involves tailoring.
You brought tailoring into this out of nowhere. Nobody was talking about it but you had to.
This conversation was about AI art and the consequences of it on people trying to make a living, and your retort was sewing machines took jobs too.
You really wanna stand by that? Is that the hill you wanna die on?
