I agreed with the content of the essay.

Idk who chose the headline, cuz the author’s take is far more measured than that. (Probably an editor optimizing for clickbait?)

I would caution, though, that the author is specifically talking about:

  1. the creation of art
  2. the way AI is developed and deployed in our capitalist context

I think there are more valid concerns about AI beyond the scope of those two areas, but I can’t blame the author for focusing on their area of expertise.

No, i'm pretty sure im also against AI. Im against artist not being paid for their work and being replaced by subpar machine learning regurgitating their art without any sense

You're literally talking about capitalism fucking over the artist here. There no reason the AI can't be helping you do the boring shit in your work faster and why it shouldn't only benifit you directly.

that use for llms was cooked up by capitalism

it could very well be just another tool to assist artists

Capitalism is the economic model where the wealth created by the workers is owned by the people o whom the tools and resources required to created said wealth and not the workers who put in the work to create it.

Here is a comic that might help you understand:

What did you tell that man just now?|I told him to work faster!| How much do you pay him?| $25,00 a day...| Where do you get the money to pay him?| I sell products| Who makes the products?| He does...| How many products does he make in one day?| $100,00 worth.| The instead of you paying him... he is paying you $75,00 a day to tell him to work faster!| HUH?| But the machine belong to me!| How did you get the machines?| I sold products and bought them| ...And who made those products?| Shut up... He might hear you!|
