in protest of the latest news on ai nonsense, i will be looking into backing up all posts made here and deactivating my account. while i do not oppose ai as a concept, the only use and capability of modern ai art systems, as will be the case for the next several decades, is for plagiarism and not paying artists for their work. the latter especially will remain so until the collapse of the capitalist system, who's necrotic flesh still continues to ruin everyone's lives daily. i do not see any ai being capable of anything other than plagiarism until it meets or exceeds human intellect. in which case we will have far more pressing matters to be worrying about
