A coffee shop owner used AI to make a menu poster. Then came the angry DMs

    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.

      Going from "I don’t personally want to consume AI art" to "the government and every major AI lab should prevent everyone else from making it" is precisely the sort of thing that makes schadenfreude such a useful word. :)

        Yeah I think we need a society wide ban to support artists, sue me.
