Right, the only value and purpose of arts and literature, it's creation and enjoyment, is to make a product to sell or consume a story. What a foolish opinion.

Stable Diffusion is open source and free to be used by anyone. A lot of people have used it for creation and enjoyment. It cuts artists out of the loop and enables a lot of ordinary people to create art. I see this as a huge win.

Exactly the type of fucking idiot that's never created art in their life.
"Art is paintings of horses"-ass motherfucker.
The reason you can't make art isn't because you're bad at drawing or painting and need AI to help you, it's because you don't have the creativity to overcome those limitations. No matter what words you put into stable diffusion, you will only create pictures, not art - there's no meaning underlying the piece, you just typed "t-rex with massive tits" and called the output art because you can't tell the difference.

its not even that they don't have the creativity - its that people have been so poisoned by commodity capitalism that they feel like their art 'doesn't count' unless it looks like 'real art' that can make money

people are so isolated from the creative process that they think they can dump it entirely, as if all it is is just knowing how to scribble on a page
