   As a society we need to start seriously planning on how to ban AI in art.

   - I don’t want to listen music with AI generated vocals or tunes.

   - I don’t want to watch TV shows or movies with AI generated scripts.

   - I don’t want to read novels with AI generated text

   - I don’t want to see animations with any amount of AI in it.

   - I don’t want to play video games made by any amount of AI. (No FCKIN Blender models made with AI)

   - I don’t want any amount of my digital art or posters to be touched by AI.

   I think as a part of alignment all AI models above a certain size should refuse requests to generate stories, scripts any art object etc. text-to-image, text-to-music, text-to-videos should just be banned outright, I don’t see any good use case for them outside of art.

   If society cannot agree to do the above then at the very least, we should have a way to easily know if AI was involved in any of the art I interact with, so that I can avoid it with a ten foot pole.

   I say this as an early adopter and lover of technology in general, I bought the Vision Pro the day it came out, I bought experimental volumetric displays, experimental robot vacuums, I own 2 robot arms, LED panels etc. but generative AI in art just leaves me with disgust, I want no part of it.

      It seems like a ban would both be overreaching and won't happen. If your personal preference is to not engage with it, then don't.

         I don’t see why a president can’t write a “No Generative AI in art” executive order, society has banned plenty of other pointless stuff, I would vote for them to ban this.

            They can do that but it would be a huge overreach. I guess you have strong feelings about it, but plenty of us don't want it banned.

               I think there are plenty of us, outside of tech circles who want it banned too. It is one of the least popular technologies in existence. Unfortunately I don’t think it will be banned anytime soon, but I do hope we eventually ban it.
