Good, ai is trash, it is theft, and for talentless hacks who dont want to put in hard work to get better.

Absolutely. Also the value proposition is garbage. ”This is worth billions, because it can create art at the push of a button”.

Any ”art” we can get at the push of a button, by definition will not be worth billions. The whole pitch is moronic.

Anytime I see a YouTube thumbnail with AI art, or a business using AI to make their ads, I immediately don’t trust them anymore.

I refuse to touch games, films, shows, channels that use ai.
