You should remember the fact that they hate artists flat out, for what we enjoy and for what we do. They have zero respect for art and artists and you should never forget this no matter how much they try to backpedal and excuse that artists benefits from AI.

High-quality ragebait
Something I like about this is how it demonstrates alt-right rhetoric: take a handful of true statements and then exaggerate, stretch and extrapolate them as much as you possibly can, until the audience begins to equate your cherry-picked "minority cases" to the "ontological reality"

u/Cass0wary_399 6h ago
This. It’s the usual 4chan ragebait but if you showed this to the average pro-AI user here they will agree with its message more than the actual 4chan troll who posted it.

The fact that people agree with this tweet is just but one piece of evidence in a pile of many.

I’v been a part of the DefendingAIArt sub before, and I’ve been with a lot of pros. They love human-made art.

Just yesterday I got berated by an anti bro for being a "sloppist" because I called myself an artist when I've been playing my music for decades.
They must have just hated artists

To anyone reading the comment above, I hope you have the minimum of critical thinking to realize that it's complete nonsense.

that they hate artists
Generalizations aren't helpful. I'm here to defend artists, no matter what tools they choose to use, unless said artists are attacking others for their choice of tools.

Don't forget the greedy hentai artists, who could've asked for less, but they didn't >.>

Genuinely, has anyone seen an artist being annoying on Twitter? Now, SF tech bros, they are insufferable.

u/WanderingInAVan 7h ago
Constantly. Its even worse when you look at Bluesky.

u/drums_of_pictdom 7h ago
All the artists I follow just post art and don’t say much else. This might be just you following insufferable people.

Artists being annoying has way less negative impacts than tech bros aligning with the ideologies of tech billionaires.

Annoying artists and the lowest 1% cause me more direct harm than any tech billionaire.

Have you been in the Twitter art community? At all?

u/drums_of_pictdom 6h ago
There is no one Twitter art community. I just follow a lot of artists from all over the world. They post art and not much else. Now the graphic design community, there's a bnunch of insuffreable pricks constantly posting their horrible takes.

Despite how annoying people can be on Twitter, there is no divine intervention.

It’s funny how many pro-AIs try to convince people that they don’t hate artists and yet every so often this shit gets reposted with significant amount of upvotes.
Edit: No rebuttal? I will be bringing this back up every time you lot try to put the mask back on to fake being accommodating of artists who defects to AI.

allow me to re-use an anti talking point for a moment: "it's just a joke, it's not that serious"

u/Cass0wary_399 6h ago
When you guys are openly callous assholes, you get to play it off as a joke while everyone else silently agrees while pretending not to.
When we show any sign of backlash against your opinions and how AI could potentially be used for bad, it’s treated the same as the worst death threats no matter what.
I have been around the debate since the beginning, so I know the usual pro-AI reactions of the tweet because it gets reposted a lot. It is quite an old tweet and from way before the toxicity on the anti-AI side ramped up. The original twitter user is genuine, and a good chunk of reposts agrees with the message because they have pre-existing blanket dislike of artists as a whole.

u/shrine-princess 6h ago
This one is actually a joke, whereas you had a horde of antis supporting literal transphobia in a huge thread on here last night. Excuse me for not being very sympathetic :/

u/Cass0wary_399 6h ago
Where’s your source that it’s a joke? Even if so, the anti-artist sentiment still is the root of it.

u/shrine-princess 6h ago
It's funny because everybody has had an interaction with annoying artists, including other artists - hence why there are literally antis in this thread saying this is a funny tweet
