there are collages, ceramics, clay, woodwork, so many other physical things you can work with better based on physical feel. you can collaborate with others to bring your ideas to life if you’re struggling. things don’t have to happen alone

People say things like this, but I can't even find someone to narrate my book into an audiobook in exchange for most of the revenue. Why? Because everybody else has gotta get paid too and doesn't have time for that kind of long shot.

Every artist should be a socialist.

I mean, I'm an author. I made video games. I make music. I'm not lacking in art. I'm not defending commercial AI usage. That's not the point.

"You can draw it yourself" is false for some. I cannot and will not ever be able to draw above a smiley-face level. I can barely write letters and numbers.

I do really think artists of all sorts would feel very differently about GenAI if we all had our basic needs met and could pursue our arts without needing to make every possible last few dollars we can.

We would all keep making our real statements, and let smoothbrains play with the bots.

But in this capitalist hellscape, luddism has a point. Especially about AI.
